Default Will Tein SS from a 2001 Civic EM1 Fit a RSX-S?

I realize they are different part #s, but that might be because of springrates, etc.

Anyone know.

a 2001 civic would be an EM2...

...anyway, i know the suspension on the rsx, civic si, and reg 7th gen civics are almost identical. so there is a good chance it will fit. but there definitely could be some differences...

No, they're not going to directly go in. In order to get an RSX flex (Tein just flat out says there's no way to get an RSX SS kit in the Civic) kit into the Civic, you need to swap the tie rod ends for DC5 ones, and shave some of the brackets a little. So reversing it with Civic shocks would mean the stuff on your RSX is too big and it would fit too loose.
