this is the thing, i just got the skunk2 coilovers off a ep si that was sold back to a dealer, and that dealer is giving the skunk 2 to me for my stock springs, but i looked around and the only skuck2 applications are rsx and 01 civics, so i guess the ones i have right now is not the ones for the ep si since you said it comes out monday. if i'm wrong, help me out, i have to tell this guy what i want to do with the coilovers soon, thanks.

The ones you have aren't for our Si. They will fit; someone else on here has 'em and says they work fine. The only thing is, our cars and the 2/4 door cars weight differently.

i see, i hope nothing goes wrong. and if i put the coilovers on, does this mean ihave to get camber kits as well? anyone know if i'm going to get bad camber with 17s?

The degree your camber is affected is directly proportional to the amount of drop you choose. A mild drop will keep the car within spec while a radical drop will visibly affect the camber. Camber isn't much to worry about, as camber kits will bring it all back. Throw them on and get a full alignment.

Beware of dropping the car too low on stock struts. The stroke is incompatible with the ride height and the struts will "blow" soon.

Good luck. ---Dex

I have the skunk2s for the RSX installed on my ep. It works fine.
A lot stiffer than stock but isn't that the point anyways? Don't use the 2001+ civic springs. The rear is the same spring but the front is too soft and I was bottoming out on the smallest bumps before I changed them to the RSX springs.
