Yes, It is possible.
You would need new tie rod from rsx and make bigger holes for front camber bolts.
2001 civic uses 14mm and RSX uses 16mm.

The RSX springs are different lengths then the civic (Non Si) so the ride height will be off.

Thanks for the information. A friend of mine is selling a set of coilover for a RSX so I am just wondering would it fit perfectly into my civic or not.

Not only that, you got to bore your knuckle arm holes larger to fit the bolts too !!! You could use the smaller 14mm bolt though, but anytime your shocks might just move out of position.
