hey guys plz help if possible.
i have bought a used set of funtion n form type II rsx type s spec
i put them on my ep3, and ordered the tie rod ends for the type s and my mechanic said they were the wrong tie rod ends

did i use the wrong ones?

Well its the "wrong" suspension since it wasn't originally meant for your car. But I think its just the rsx tie rod ends, which are bigger than ep3's I think.
You might have to grind the bushings on the rear shocks too to make them fit.

rsx-s tie rod ends for rsx-s suspension. if it doesnt fit it may be ep3 parts.

ok the issue is the tie rod end for the type s doesnt fit, my mechanic just called me and said its the same loose fitment and the eo3 tie rod end, is there no solution to this?
my understanding was that this full coilover suspension would fit with the modification of the tie rod ends.
can anyone else give me any feed back?

If its really a type s suspension then yes you should be using a type s tie rod end.
