First off, hello all. I know this question has probably been asked but here it is again. Will EP3 type R suspension parts fit our USDM civics? Specifically coilovers but also camber kits, tie rods, sway bars etc. Please give me some knowledgeable advice. Thanks

Ok, to be more specific I was wondering if the Tein Mono Flex for the CTR EP3 will fit my car. I am debating on whether or not to go with the Teins or Buddy Club RSD. I can't find much info and the spring rates concern me since the DC5R Mono Flex have spring rates of 7/10(same as EP3R) but the USDM DC5 have spring rates of 14/16. Will this difference be an issue?

JDM/EDM ep3 is same as USDM ep3 shock/strut wise. The front sway have are diffrent shape on the JDM, but is the same on the EDM And USDM. This is becase the JDM ep3 has the same header as the JDM DC5. The EDM has the same header as the RSx-S..




JDM/EDM ep3 got RSX-S front brakes :)

So coilovers are interchangeable between the two models US/JDM? Maybe EP3 type R tie rods to make them fit?
