Re: Rsx and em2 coilovers
Are you asking if they fit? or comparing things like spring rate stuff?
DC5 front coilovers will fit 03-05 if you change out your tie rod ends to DC5 ones. Luckily, you're rocking an 05, so your car already comes with the 16mm crash bolt. 01-02's not so much, since they're rocking 14mm ones. For those reading that have 01-02s, you can drill it out to 16mm to make them fit. Rears will fit if you shave the bushing down by a few mm.
I will say, however, there are a lot of coilover options out there for the EM2. Now, if you came across a killer deal on DC5 coilovers and you don't mind spending the extra on DC5 tie rod ends and shaving down the bushings on the rear, then it wouldn't be a bad choice.
here's a good read detailing everything as far as cross compatibility between ES1/EM2/EP3/DC5 goes
