it should bolt on directly. the fronts from the RSX should be almost a direct fit also. nice mod

I like the ride much stiffer than stock..Top bolts up but the bottom joint is wider.You have to shave about 1 mm on each side. otherwise is thesame setup.

About time someone posted some intersting stuff. The idea is old though. Just my thought.

how much did they cost and how do they ride better or worst? stiffer doesnt mean anything, it can be stiff and still be bouncy, or does it ride like a camery or something lol.

Hmm... Maybe you can buy them off of someone on ClubRSX.com that re-did their suspension. Hmm... Good idea for a cheap upgrade.

There are a few that think before they do. You are one of them. I wish I could give you an award, but but is there such a thing for being normal?

 
Rep Power: 0

Yeah the ride is better than stock and its just the rear.I dont know how much they go for cuz my friend gave them to me.And yeah i know it was an old idea but it was just all talk no show...........IDd recomend this if you have the right tools to do it

was it hard? i wanna try to attempt this but wanna know how difficult it is and what tools u used?

Now this may be just me, but are'nt the struts from an RSX identical to a 7th gen Civics in stiffness? I always thought the RSX was a much more softer riding car than say an Integra Type R? Also a base RSX does'nt look any lower than the Type S, so I am asuming they are the same. There is a noticeable difference in ride height between a regular Integra and a Type R, so someone help me out here.

yeah thats correct its just you.Very mini-mal difference in ride height we're talkn mm.They look idetical but are constructed differently .

how about RSX aftermarket struts fitted into our 7th gen?
could they be better than the koni....the koni seem like such a hassle

 
Rep Power: 0

same problem @ the joint just shave it

i dont think this is a cheap upgrade at all. i was looking into it myself actually since i lease and wanted honda factory parts. the RSX struts actually cost more than the koni yellows (at least cheaper than at tornactive).

so i dunno...especially since hes saying that the rears have to be modified to fit the civic.

Edit: i guess used struts from someone from clubRSX would be cheaper than new ones tho....but then you dont really know what condition youll be getting them in...so that sux.

I might try it if i get some cheap/free struts...What did you use to shave them?

I have RSX shocks at home, the bottom joint like he said is like 1/4' wider on each sides. So I just took it to my local Honda dealer and have a hookup there who grinded the sides down. Only problem is i cross threaded the top castle nut. So I just enedd up getting Koni Yellows

yea i'm curious as to how the ride is, and where exactly did you get the shocks and for how much, since you did the rears can the front shocks be swapped out also??
