Hey guys,

Looking at getting some coilovers for my base model Integra Dc5 2002 model.

can anyone help me in regards to this question.
I have looked on ebay and can see they are selling a pair one for 1000$ and another SKUNK2 pair for approx 400$.

Catch is, the 400$ pair is for ACURA RSX 02-04 ( American version) and the other pair is specifically for a Integra.


The 2 links are - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/EMOTION-SUSPENSION-COILOVER-DAMPER-KIT-F-R-HONDA-INTEGRA-DC5-2001-2002-2003-ON-/121043028554?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c2eba0a4a&_uhb=1#ht_1125wt_1144

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SKUNK2-Adjustable-Coilover-Kit-02-04-Acura-RSX-2-0L-DC5-/280928614701?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4168a6792d&_uhb=1#ht_2282wt_1144

Would the acura rsx coilovers fit onto my car fine??

If not, will the other link fit on fine?
Or, what do you reccomend to get me some coilovers?

Thanks

Honda Integra DC5 is an Acura RSX

Are you sure coilovers are what you need?

I wouldnt buy basic tier ones.

Thats what i thought....

So why are these 2 items having completely different prices???

1K coilovers are going to give a very harsh and bumpy ride. You get what you pay for.

But they look two way adjustable and perhaps a rebadging of Silvers Racing coilovers?
That image isnt for the DC5 too, as the tie rods on a dc5 are mounted on the strut tower and not the control arm/knuckle/whatevs its called.

Stuff from America is always cheap. But that doenst look like a coilover kit. Looks like you have to find a strut.

IF i were you, I wouldnt be getting coil overs unless you are thinking about tracking. A car used as solely for the purpose of a daily with coil overs isnt a happy right.

Message the seller and confirm? The image may be used for illustration purposes only. Make sure feedback is ok, as well as postage and you are sweet.

Though the Skunk2 kit looks like they are springs? Maybe ground control kit or whatever? Doubt they would be coilovers at that price.

Never had any experiences (or read that much) abouy Emotions though so no comment on those from me.

For the somewhat same price you can get coilovers here at shop front, warranty and face to face customer service no point buying online.
