Re: lift 2002 ex

RSX springs are a little stiffer than ours so your car won't sink down quite as much, but if you really want the ability to raise it up an inch you need a good coilover set-up and that would be at least $1000.

Re: lift 2002 ex

new tokico hp shocks will raise the ride up quite a bit, esp if the stock shocks are blown.

Re: lift 2002 ex

You can get a set of four with ease, I'm not sure why your having trouble finding a complete set. Go look on ebay.

Re: lift 2002 ex

Lol.. I'm heavy and have this problem.

I think the stock ones were blown when I bought the car (about two weeks ago). I put Tokico "Blues" (AKA Tokico HP) and the rear went up 2". (well only one one side but that's another story - see my new thread on my half lowered car LOL :/ )

(I'm new.. where's the "rep button" for giving thanks?)

Re: lift 2002 ex

also, be careful when ordering - the 01-02 have different struts (smaller bolts to knuckle).
do not buy 03+

It's the little balance scale next to the green dot that shows someone is online.

Re: lift 2002 ex

Order them off ebay, they usually have the best prices.

Rep is what gives us the little green bars under our usernames.

Green bars = Knowledge and therefore respect from the other members.
