PM member Hawk, he knows the difference since he has full rsx suspension...i think it has to do with the 2 19mm holes but not sure

mount bolts are different i believe, you will need new tie rods. Just get the ones for the EP3, they should fit no problem.

holy **** those are some expensive coils. You will need RSX tie rods. The mount bolts might be different sizes, so you might get slippage of your alignment if you use a smaller bolt.

what are the spring rates? I ask because really stiff springs on the street Do not = good handling... and street tires dont take too well to Really high spring rates either.
