Hold on, first off, stock rsx struts arnt going to make you car lower. Unless you are putting aftermarket springs on there.

Second, the rsx struts arnt built that much better than our stock ones and will definitely NOT handle a 2.25" drop. You will blow them out.

Third, why do you have to trim the lower bushing? Arnt you just installing struts? Where ate you getting your info?

And finally, to answer your question, any rear camber kit will work. The rsx and 7th gen civics are interchangeable. (ksport, spc, ingalls, etc)

Ok so I just read your other thread. From what i understand you are getting your friends setup, But stock rsx struts sill still not last for that low of a drop

But I guess if they're free then they're free right?

Whats your current suspension setup?

i don't see the point of replacing stock struts with stock struts not to mention the rsx is heavier and has stiffer spring rates then spending money on tie rods and alignment to be left with blown rsx shocks.i could see if it was a full aftermarket suspension setup. it just seems like a giant waste of time and money. i would rather buy some koni yellow inserts and used ground control sleeves.

doesn't matter your missing the bigger picture when those struts eventually blow and they will blow your going to have to spend more money replacing them when you could have just saved a little money for something better. like i said you can find used ground control sleeves for cheap. do things rite the first time.

I understand you, but if struts and shocks arent factory then they might not blow, im trying to look on the optimistic side of getting them for free, all ill be buying is the camber kit, i can install them for free and get a free alignment, oh and my friend works at oreillys he told me he would hook me up with some moog tie rod ends
