they're all the same. Get the KW system since you drive that thing in the winter. They won't rust out on you all the others will.
In fact on the KW site (at one time) you wouldn't even see the 7thgen sedan or coupe listed. The part number was the one associated with the RSX and EP3.

The issue will be in the spring rates... as the EP has a heavier nose, so it has a higher spring rate in the front.. not really a problem if this is a daily driven thing, but if you are opentrack or autocrossing its going to cause a bit of understeer at the cars limits.

Rep Power: 564 I'm telling you that unless you want to swap them out every winter for the OEM's then you better get the KW V2's. I've used them before and I love them.

Where to get (Canadian as you)??
Differences between them(cause dont know alot about them)?
Thank's Pharoh
They come with the 16mm bolt yah?
Anyway rusting is not a problem to me(it's not a show car)
When i will find the right height settings i will let them that way forever...in my book for a performance oriented ride on our cars -1.5 inchs is probably the best height (on street drivable suspension...not a tein N1 or those kind...)
I'm looking for those:tein basic,tanabe S-oc,omnipowers(a little stiff for winter)...others suggestions are really welcome...and yes i will check KW...

They're pricey but so are all the good one's out there. They are shipped in north america from B.C so the shipping won't kill you either.
KW Suspension
A Tein rep (for example) actually told a friend of mine to get these over their product because the Teins would rust out after one winter. lol.

Rep Power: 564 and I wasn't talking about rust being a problem cuz it's a show car....it's a problem beacause it eats them alive and you can't adjust anything on them anymore.
