hello everyone, I have a 2003 RSX Type S, I had it since August. I am just thinking to drop it, I don't want to go coil over cuz I am not sure if I am keeping this car, but I want to have the look but most important of all is stiffness I have heard from a lot of guys telling me about H&R, Tein, Tanabe, Eibach Pro-Kit, Sportline, and Rennsport. I am not sure what to chooose from, I have went to the Tanabe website and got the spec for the GF210 that is 20 to 30% stiffer to the stock and drops about 1.3", and H&R I am not sure cuz I heard that after a while there is some noise from the rear spring, which needs to be re locate or insert some king of thing in it. Eibach Pro-Kit and Sportline I need more info about them.
please feel free to send me messages or info regarding springs...I am looking for stiffness and look some thing around 1.5" or something that will look nice.

thanks!!

 

H&R

 

eibach has warrenty and they are good. used by ground control.

 

if ur not gonna keep the car for very long i'd suggest spoon progressive springs, they will work with ur stock dampers for about 16k miles.

H&R sag, Comptech blows your shocks very quickly and rides like crap, Neuspeed sport are pretty good, Eibach Pro Kit or Sportline are among the favorites. You need to go on Clubrsx and search around there, the topic has been beaten to death.

 

If at all possible, I'd try to steer away from any aftermarket spring w/ stock shocks. If that's not an option, the Eibach Prokit will probably suffice, for awhile at least.

 

Teins! my homies has it on his S and its perfect rides like stock

 

Personally, I would go with Goldline springs. They drop the car 1.5" all around and a camber kit is not required (though it is recommended). A couple of people over on ClubRSX.com have had them for a while and they are still holding up well with the stock shocks. Jeff, a representative from Goldline has quoted approximately 20-25k miles with the stock shocks.

Hope this helps.

 

i'm with^ u on the goldlines.

 

Eibach Pro-kit, otherwise anything else and you may need a camber kit for the rear, You can't shim the upper control arms in the rear like some other Honda chassis.

I ride on Teins, but am seeking the Mugen Susp Kit after the race header goes on

 

i got the tanabe grips that u mentioned and they are great. they drop ur car al ittle more than 1.3 its actually about 1.5-1.6. they ride great, i havent felt any difference from stock.

 

thanks man..,

I was actually thinking about them.. cuz here in Ontario, Canada I just know a place that will carry them.. I haven't ask them for the pirce yet.. but I will soon do that.. do you mind telling me what else have you done to your car.. ex: exhaust. etc..
I am thinking about the Fujitsubo RM-01 have you hear anything about them?
and have you heard or know anything about the RS-R brand ( springs ) and exhaust..???
let me know your idea feel free to send me messages..

thanks

you can't go wrong with the Tein S Tech

 

Tanabe DF210 springs it's great i have them in my car and i have not complaints it's a 1.5" drop, smooth ride not stiff at all, smoother than stock and had it for a year or so and my stock shocks are still good.
