will rsx coilovers bolt up on sedans?
ive been told that rsx coilovers or for that matter suspension in general will swap right over. is this true. i have a friend with a rsx that totaled it. he already sold the motor and tranny but wants me to buy his tien coilovers and his sways. ive read here that the sways will work but will the coilovers just bolt right up or will i need to make modifications at all? thanks..........Jacob

Rep Power: 413 They should work, but you might need new tie rod ends as the RSX ones are slightly larger. Also, the mount bolts might be different. But other than the tie rods and the mount bolts, they should work just fine. Just check the measurements on those bolts.

Rep Power: 413 if you have a 2k1 lx, then you will need endlinks and brackets/bushings. You will also have to drill holes in your subframe. Progress makes a kit.
I don't know of anyone with DC5 coils. I have EP3 coils, but they were guarenteed to fit because the tie rod ends and mount holes were the same. The changed the mount holes for different years on the civic. All you have to do is go to Home Depot and pull out some 14 or 16mm bolts and see what one goes through the mount holes and the tie rod ends.
