S3 Suspension Coilovers - Acura RSX & Type S (DC5) (2002–2006)

Upgrade the handling, response, and stance of your 2002–2006 Acura RSX or RSX Type S with an S3 Suspension one-way adjustable coilover system. Engineered as a complete bolt-in solution, these coilovers combine premium components with application-specific spring rates and damper valving for predictable performance on the street or track.

Each system is hand-assembled with an emphasis on precision and consistency.

Available Configurations

Street — 8/14 kg

Designed for daily-driven vehicles that need improved handling without sacrificing everyday comfort. This configuration provides balanced spring rates and valving for responsive, predictable street performance.

Street/Track — 9/14 kg

A more aggressive streetable setup developed for spirited driving and occasional track use. It provides increased chassis response and control while remaining suitable for performance-oriented street vehicles.

Track — 10/16 kg

Features increased spring rates and more aggressive damping to maximize grip, control, and chassis response during track use. Due to its performance-focused setup, this configuration is not recommended for daily street driving.

Custom Specifications

Custom spring rates and damper valving are available for vehicles with specialized requirements. This option is ideal for dedicated competition cars, unique vehicle builds, specific tire packages, weight-reduced vehicles, or other performance applications that require a tailored suspension setup.

Monotube Damper Performance

The gas-pressurized monotube dampers separate the oil and gas chambers to help reduce aeration, heat buildup, and shock fade. This design provides more responsive damping and consistent suspension behavior during demanding street or track driving.
