DIY: A-Spec Suspension on ep3

[tlikethedrink]

Went with the Moog brand. Much beefier than stock!

Do these drop the same height as the DC5R suspension?

MOOG vs Stock tie rod ends...

Seaking of Moogs and Zirk nipples.... is there an actual thread in the main body or do you just self thread the suckers?

When I got my moog tie rod ends, you had to screw in the bleeder valves yourself.

Yes but they're already threaded... Just screws in.

Why replace the tie rod ends? and do you replace with honda or acura part?
I can get the tie ends at my local advance auto BUT what part do I need to get?

AND what spring and strut comes with the A-Spec kit?

"A Spec" is a handling package that was offered only on the RSX. It fits our Civic's by using RSX tie rod ends (our are too small) and shaving the rear lower shock bushings.
The A Spec handling kit comes with springs and shocks for all four corners. They are the closest thing you'll get to JDM DC5 ITR springs and shocks.

Yup. I can say I vouch the Moog brand- if that means anything... The pic shows difference in size.

Thanks tlikethedrink...

So if I go with the A-Spec can I use:
Moog Tie Rod End Part No. ES80995
?
