Shocks for 7thgen

I've been reading the forum for a couple of days and found out that the only aftermarket shocks available for our car so far are the ones from Koni and they require cutting some parts to fit.

This really sucks..

I'm wondering if the RSX-R or RSX-S shocks would fit and do anything good

They might help a little, but I don't see why you would want stock shocks. They will blow if you lower it. They aren't meant to be lowered. Maybe the CTR/RSX-R might be beneficial, but not much. Plus they aren't adjustable.

I think he means aftermarket shocks for the RSX, correct? Just pray for our cars and maybe something good will happen.

Why would he mean aftermarket shocks? If he said he searched, then he would know that if there aren't any shocks for us then there sure as hell isn't any for them either.

well i though that aftermarket parts maker would have responded better to the RSX than to our 7thgen civic since RSX it's more "race" than our cars...

They do, but the chassis is the chassis. If they can't make them for our cars which have been out for 2 years now, then the RSX would not have parts yet either.
