Decamo has a little shameless behaviour in the past
The spring rates should be different though. Isn't the rsx heavier? KG/MM is an awesome company.

well knowing that even 2001 ground controls(also a sleeved coilover) wont fit 2002 civics, chances are those might not fit the rsx

2001 civic ground control coils wont fit 2002 civic?

how come other coil over sleeves made for 2001 say they fit 2002? or is it only the 2001 ground controls that dont fit the 2002 civics?

if you goto groundcontrols site, they have two different applications for the 2001 and 2002 civics... something about the top adapter not being the same or something. the rear suspension changed on the 2002 cause of the 2001's rears being so bouncy. but ya i'm not sure why its not different with skunk2s or any other sleeved coilovers.
