RSX Coilovers on ACCORD??

[DejectedAngel]

Well i was just wondering if the acura rsx coilovers(slevves fit on our CB7's? Appreciate the response!

[JoshM]

If they're cheap, no-name sleeves, probably.

[DejectedAngel]

save yourself the trouble and just get ones made for 90-93 accords

[DejectedAngel]

Yea bro. I have some that i just bought. The reason for the question is that my mechanic has a RSX and hes getting rid of his coils since he not a tuner type and told me i could have them for cheap. Im think there good brand since his DC5 has skunk2 shift knob and a true JDM Honda Integra hatch. But looks can be deceiving!

If I were you, I'd pass on the deal because most likely they won't fit. Even if they did fit, the coilovers won't be designed for the accord (i.e. spring rate will be off) resulting in a not so pleasant ride.

And you think cheap coilover sleeves "for" 90-97 Accords were actually "designed" for the Accord and will be a comfortable ride?

[DejectedAngel]

True! Well i guess il pass the deal on. I was just thinkn of using the springs instead of the ones that came in my coilover kit.?

[jacOOLito]

I thought skunk2 are one of the cheaper knobs for the RSX, I've seen them go for $35. It would be cool to see the rsx coilovers work for the accord though.

i say try it,
take a front one off and c if it fits...
its simple and wuld only take a few minutes if u have air to use,
then reply back and u lets US know if they fit

[gloryaccordy]

Yea they will fit, you will just have to swap the strut towers and subframes from the RSX to the CB. I'm not so sure that's worth the effort.

To diameter of the rsx spring is almost twice that of a cb spring. You could probably put accords springs on a rsx but not vise versa they are to big and wouldn't even catch the strut. The bottom would most likly fall down at hit the lower control arm.

[DejectedAngel]

Yea bro thats what i was thinkn. Well ima pass this deal on.

just lowered my friend RSX with him the other night, no way possible. maybe, the rear would, but thats doubtful.

Take the deal, then sell them to someone with an RSX for a profit. Use your newfound money to purchase a PROPER suspension setup for your car (also get new shocks... you do NOT want to lower your car on the 20 year old tubes that are holding it up now!... it's very dangerous!)
