Question 02 civic front struts - rsx?
any idea how I could find out whether I have the civic struts or the rsx ones? I know they switched around half way through. The dealer replaced one about 6 months into the car during a check up. I'm thinking this indicates civic shitty struts? info?

I don't think you have the RSX struts because the tie rod ends are different sizes. Also, the mount bolts might be different. If anything you hvae EP3 struts.

either way, I want to buy some koni yellows, but don't want the hassle of returning them if they are the wrong ones. There must be a resource for this, call Honda or what?

I am not sure what you want. I don't think RSX struts will fit, but I guess you can call Honda and ask them.

Just measure the housing. You either have 50mm or 55 mm housings. Buy Konis accordingly.
