Yes.
I just finished with the rear shocks. They weren't too difficult to install, but I needed an additional jack to get the bolt holes to line up.
A short trip around the block tells me that the car feels much better than stock.
So when I change up the tie rod ends to rsx s type do I use s type ball joints? what year ball joints?
After settling a bit here is what it looks like now:

Why is a new jam nut to adjust the toe necessary? (90301-S5A-003)
Can't you just use the existing nut that's already on the car?
I like your new paint job Tommy! I had to put some aspecs in my car in March, as I found out at inspection time that my Eibach Pro kit front springs were both broken (damn N.E. potholes) I got to give them a good workout in June on the Tail of the Dragon. Sweet setup is all I have to say.
alright fellow EP's, I have read through this thread and I'm considering swapping out my suspension again, I have had OEM, HFP, Tokico Blue, and now my current setup is yellow koni with HFP springs and they are starting to make noise when I turn the wheel, my shop says the front shock is moving around and its been over 50K so they probably could be replaced anyway, I can't believe an A-Spec kit is even still available to order at this point and I was considering ordering a new Mugen SS kit until I read this thread and if its still available I could get 2 A-Spec kits for the price of the Mugen kit.
I do have some concerns though, people are talking about needing RSX-S tie rods and a new EP rear bushing??? this may not matter but my car is equipped with a complete RSX-S brake upgrade, drive shafts/hubs.
I may have answered some of my own questions because page one of this thread becomes the newest post depending on whether you are logged in or not. very confusing.
so after months of riding on blow stock struts with junk2 sleeves, i decided to go the aspec route.
i ordered the suspension saturday from curry and received it on tuesday ($715 after shipping)
i also ordered all of the necessary parts, along with the rear ep3 bushings from honda automotive ($125 after shipping)
had a buddy of mine press out the rsx bushings and press in the ep3 bushings, why not do it right? (gave him $50)after a couple hours of work, we got the suspension on last night. with the exception of a few roadblocks, the install went relatively smooth.
imo, the drop is pretty much perfect height (205/55/16), and based on what I've read it'll settle a bit more
i noticed the handling improvement immediately, even without getting an alignment. the steering is pretty straight and i haven't noticed any pulling to one side or another, so i plan on giving it a week or two to allow it to settle before getting it aligned.
ill update with some pictures in a few days.
a big thanks goes to everybody who contributed to this forum, i wouldn't be able to do it without you guys.
