I agree, but got em for free and dont have anything better to do with my time sense i have no motor for the car yet. So im gonna throw them on thursday night and see how it looks in the back atleast sense the front wont have any weight from the motor to put it at normal hight.

Check out this thread, you might find a shot in there, but I don't think anyone here is running skunk2.

i wouldnt cheap out on suspension, thats what determines if youre alive or dead after turning the last corner.

I know Skunk2 isn't the BEST suspension out there, but I wouldn't go as far as saying their junk.

What reasons do you guys have to justify saying that?

I know of a couple issues but just wondering why you're saying this..

Forgot link...lol and yeah I've heard Skunk2's are pretty awful. Only stick with exhausts and even then I'm a bit skeptical.

I put the fronts on and there not much of a drop but its enough to take away that awful gap i had before up front. Next step finding a cheap(ish) d17a2 to put in her.

skunk2 have a very stiff harsh ride and i believe the rsx is heavier then the EM2 so its going to have evan stiffer spring rates. your definitely in for a teeth rattling ride.

I fail, but its stickied anyway.

@lowlife, yea the front spring rate on the rsx is quite a bit stiffer by about 80-100lbs i believe. Il update on how the ride is once i get her running.

The RSX is notriously known for having a crappy suspension geometry and crappy motion ratio. The spring rates by number are VERY high, but they NEED to be. The actual feel in the car with those high rates on the RSX is kind of soft and smooth.

oh man riding in a bone stock rsx felt much worse than my lowered civic. i cant believe how bone crushing the ride was. and this was a 2003 rsx that was brand new at the time.
