So, my roommate has an 04 Acura RSX type-s and is just getting into the sceen so I told him to find a good forum but he is not sure what he is looking at. I know someone on here has to know of someone with an Acura so I ask for your help in pointing my roommate in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

Thanks alot. He is buying coilovers this week and is really leaning towards the Eibach ones but he is looking for some reviews on them first. He is currently running H&R springs and H&R front and rear sways so he also wants to know if he will be able to keep his sways when putting on the coils. Any info you might have is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

what's your friend's budget? I was in the Honda game for years so I'm pretty well versed with just about everything to do with them.

I'm not a huge fan of Tein because I've seen the weather very easily. Tell him to look into Buddy Club N1s, Function/Form (F2), or possibly the new Skunk2 fully adjustable coilovers. I had F2s on my car and it handled amazingly (also had everything else done), and I have a friend with Buddy Clubs and he's a weekend auto Xer and drives his car daily, he loves them. Just make sure he buys something that height, dampening, AND rebound adjustable. For that amount of money he's got a few options. And if he wants them installed I'll do it. I need the cayshe.

i had a 02 with a aem engine managment sytem on it with tein suspension, greedy exhaust, skunk 2 cams and adjustable pully, dc sports race header no cat. the v-tec kicked in at 3,800 all the way to 8,800 redline is what i had it set for but i could change my v-tec engagement if i didn't want it to start at 3,800 so i would up it to about 5k instead. rsx's are a beast on the road and the k20 motor has proven itself against all the b series motors. they sure are fun to drive!!

thats a beast but like he said they need to change the rear end to up the boost my buddy was running 23psi i think thats why he kept blowing his rear end. i still like the rsx i saw on youtube a guy on the freeway run a corvette and he had a turbo rsx and blew him away thought that was sad that a corvette got beat buy a import lol
