Hey guys, I have an '02 RSX. I get to keep my next check, so I was wanting some suggestions for coilovers or springs for my car. I am going to be doing some research on some. My budget is probably going to be around 300-400 dollars. I know it isnt much, but I'm 16 so give me a break lol. Post pics too of ur rsx with whatever springs/coils so I can see how they look.

 

I got Goldline springs for my RSX. 1.5" drop, still rides the same as when it was stock. $120 off of Clubrsx I believe.

 

for 400 bucks u won't be able to get coilovers. springs are only option with that budget. cheapest coilovers are hayame non adjustables and those are 800 i believe. plus the installation and the alignment will run you into 1000.

eibach prokits are 1.0/1.4
eibach sportline are 1.5/1.8
clubrsx springs are 1.75/1.75
tein stech are 1.7 1.4

that's all the common ones. pick and choose

 

get eibach prokits. or H and R don't mess with any other brands.

 

eibach springs dont run level. the front is usually higher than the rear, on some applications, it's the other way around. H&R is good, if you want some kind of coilover you could get some skunk2 coilovers, they ride nice and they are fairly inexpensive, at about $300. do some research though so you know what to look for. remember you get what you pay for.

 

Get tein s techs. Then get a cold air intake and call it a day.

how much are the tein s techs?

 

I dont know about getting parts now. Im thinking about just saving extra money and trying to get an STI next year. If I dont mod my rsx and save, plus my trade in ect... what do you guys think?

I say that only go for the STi if you can handle it. Just don't rush into it and end up in a bad situation. Until then, enjoy the RSX.

 

I have a set of RSX-S stock struts with tophats and everything with H&R Sport Springs already on them. I'm selling them (shocks and springs) for $100 + shipping if you want them. They were 9800 miles old when they came off a totalled car and look to be in good condition. PM me if you're interested. They're also already packed and ready to go, so you say the word and shoot me a paypal and they're on there way.

 

Here is my RSX-S on Tein S-tech springs, they are a little stiff but if I could do it over again I would have probably got a set of Eibach Sportlines or the Club RSX springs.

word, prokits are nice, rides like stock, not super low. but after 2 years of use, they begin to sag a little, looks super cool

 

I have to wonder how if this year $400 is "alot of money" how you're going to be able to afford a $32K car next year?

If your RSX is completely paid off by then, you'll be looking at financing around $20K. Even on a 60 month loan (assuming good credit), that's over $400 a month.

your 16, you should just be happy with your RSX. trading up to an STI will just cost you more and insurance will be a bitch. Save your money.

 

hey personally i would get the sti but man insurance is gonna be a real bitch it will cost you like 350-400 a month but i love the sti man i would give my left nut for one ha jk

 

if you got about 700 bucks you can probably get a set of Omni Powers. search Omni Power and see what you get
