I just leased an RSX base model. I'm going to get some 17 inch wheels, but I know they will look funny on the stock ride height. since it's leased I don't want to spend alot of money on it. So I was wondering what springs are ok to use with the factory shocks?

hey just b/c its base doesn't mean anything (saying this really nicly)
more of.."its a leased car so he would have to return it so he wouldn't try to abuse it" or something along the lines of that

 

if you are looking for something reliable and not too expensive then i would get the eibach sports. It doesnt have a dumped look and the ride is nice! i have installed these on a few different cars and the ppl have always been satisfied.
I would install them for u too if you lived in cali

 

RSX stock spring rates: Fr-3.6kg/201.6lbs(linear) R-5.8kg/324.8lbs(progressive)

 

Since the rear is progressive as with most stock rear suspensions - Do you know the range? 324.8lbs must be the max of the range.

 

RSX rear: 5.8kg-7.4kg (324.8 - 414.4) Progressive

 

No way it can be that high stock. Thats stiffer than my after market springs, and it doesn't ride anywhere near as stiff as my car.
