Just installed RSX type S rear shocks
I rode them today and they fell pretty good. Big difference from stock. Less boat action.I thought they just bolt in but turms out you have to shave 2mm off the joint. No biggie though well worth it.

Rep Power: 0 ehh cant really afford performance shocks right now busy saving up for Tein's or JIC's. My friend gave me his shocks. AK the shocks look basically they same.The only different i saw was the part number. but did feel the difference. The bottom was wider though. TYpe-s shocks are stiffer cuz its more of a performance car as oppose to our gas saverz.

Rep Power: 418 "OEM rsx-s shocks right? Can they handle 2" lowering??"
they can handle the lowering better then our stock civics BUT its still not as good as koni's... think of lowering a rsx on stock shocks, whether its rsx or civic its still stock and isnt meant to be used with lowering springs..
the rsx's shock is probably wider and it might be slightly shorter to provide more stroke(doubt it tho) i know civic SI's are shorter

Rep Power: 0 I think I need new shocks soon... I'm on neuspeed springs and stock gsr shocks. I want to start working on my handling and ride. My car isn't bouncy but... it would take corners or bumps better with new ones
