basically yes. RSXs all have the 55s. So the RSX kit has 55mm sleeves.

skunk2 suspension parts suck in my opinion, their camber kits are crap i've had many friends that have bought them for their hatches and integras and they just are crap. just like how omni is having tons of problems with their coilovers. if i were you if your gettin them for free sell them to somebody and make some cash and buy springs or coilovers for a civic

^speaks the truth. i currently have skunk2 coilovers on my civic and i regret it. i get noises when i turn with them. Ground Control > skunk2.

if i knew i was gonna end up having issues with my skunk2 coilovers, i would've never bought/install them.

Well i dont know why? I got em,no noise-no bounce! IMO the best springs for the money!
(mine are stiff, could use some bounce)

sleeved coilovers (adjustable springs) in general give out a harsher/stiffer ride than just springs.

if you were nearby my location, id switch my skunk2's for your springs
