i know they are sold seperatly but what i need to know is if they are the same diameter and the ep3 bushing will fit in the rsx shock
You just gotta keep jiggling it and spin it and eventually it will pop back in but it is definitely going to be a pain in the ass. If you want further information, I suggest looking for the DIY: 5 Lug Swap thread on here, I believe he addresses the situation a bit more in depth.
i know they are sold seperatly but what i need to know is if they are the same diameter and the ep3 bushing will fit in the rsx shock
Quick question... How many of part numbers 94030-12280 and 94201-30220 do I need in total? I know someone mentioned 1x, but does that mean just one single piece? Or do I need multiples of those pieces?
The size of the RSX one is irrelevant though, since the ep3 one is the only one that matters. But, when I did mine, I believe there is a 3mm difference between the RSX one and the ep3 one, so once you find out the size of it, just add 3mm and there you go.
Grinding it down isn't 'machine/robot precise' but as long as it fits snuggly in there and doesn't have any play, then you'll be fine. You gotta remember the entire thing is being secured with suspension bolts that are quite beefy. I have no squeeks or clunks or any problems at all with mine and I grinded them down. Just remember if you DO decide to grind them down, go slowly and you'll be fine. You can always take some off, but you can't add more on. BUT, the bushings can be replaced so if all else fails, there you go. Ultimately it's your decision but at the same time, if you're careful, either way will suffice.

thats a good question
i just got all my stuff in today except for the coilovers themselves
i ordered
2 of 53541-s7a-003
2 of 90301-s5a-003
1 of 94030-12280
1 of 94201-30220
and
2 of 52622-S5A-004 which are the --BUSH, RR. SHOCK ABSORBER (LOWER)-- (bushings for ep3)
and im sure they fit...if you still want me to post pictures or anything lmk...
otherwise you'll have to wait about a 2-3 more weeks until i get mine installed
so i order 1 more of 94030-12280 and 94201-30220 because in the picture i saw that your one package came with 2 12mm hex bolts..and mine one package came with only one
and shipping kicked my ass lol $1.50 for the parts, $10 shipping... i hope 2 bolts and 2 pins are enough for install because...if i need more of them...its gonna be one damn expensive order
first order i made::
2 of 53541-s7a-003
2 of 90301-s5a-003
1 of 94030-12280
1 of 94201-30220
2nd order i made just now::
1 of 94030-12280
1 of 94201-30220
i realized you need 2 pins and 2 nuts...( i hope nothing more than what i ordered because shipping = $$$$$$)
and to clarify...
each of those packages only contains one of the said item in it
idk where idom ordered his stuff, but im buying mine on majestic and only 1 of each was included
OH YEAH
and of course i ordered the ep3 bushings with the first order also(the ones we've been talking about replacing aspec ones)
2 of 52622-S5A-004 which are the --BUSH, RR. SHOCK ABSORBER (LOWER)-- (bushings for ep3)
Alright well finally i remembered I have access to a machine shop so i got the machinist to take off 1.5mm on each side lol
problem solved
Guys, my apologies. I will update the parts list. I bought mine from a dealership.
2x 90301-S5A-003 (These are the nuts that secure the tie rod placement and where you adjust the toe)
2x 53541-S7A-003 (These are the tie rod ends, also, the ones used for the Honda Element are the exact same ones)
1x 94201-30220 (These are the pins, there's many of them in 1 bag, all you need is one bag)
1x 94030-12280 (These are the nuts that thread on to the tie rod end to hold them on to the strut, mine came as a pack of 2 so the item quantity I ordered was just 1)
