03' rsx and 01' civic suspension: same or different?

hello. my question is, are acura rsx and 01 civic suspension specs the same? are the shocks the same for both cars all around(front and back)? how about the springs?

heres the deal. my friend wants to put his rsx back to stock suspension(he has gc's and yellow koni's so his strut casings are already modded for the fronts). i have a 01 civic coupe and i was going to give him my stock front shocks and rear shocks in exchange for his koni's...

will 01 civic shocks fit on a rsx? and vise-versa(rsx to civic)??????????

thanks in advance for your help...

Stock spring rates are diffrent. Also the RSX uses 16mm front knuckle bolts (vs the 14 mm on the 01 civic) & larger diameter struts. So while his setup could be modified to fit your 01, putting your stock suspension on his RSX is not a good idea.

Well that would be fabulous IF he was talking about an 03 civic. Once again the font for the 01 is NOT the same.
