Listed for: 2002-2006 Acura RSX (DC5)Fitment notes & questions

These SF Racing Air Struts for the 2002-2006 Acura RSX (DC5) give adjustable, on-demand ride height. They are the air suspension half of an air ride setup; you also need management to run them. This version is listed for FWD models.

What you get

Damper bodies are 50mm front and rear. Damping is 1-way, with one adjuster that changes rebound and compression together. The front top mounts are aluminum (rubber bushings), with aluminum camber plates (pillowball bushings) available as an option. At the rear, the mounts are oem (reuses factory top mounts).

Highlights

  • Air springs in place of steel coil springs, so ride height is set with air pressure
  • 1-way damping adjustment (rebound and compression set together)
  • Air management (compressor, tank, valves and controller) is needed to run air struts; contact us to confirm exactly what is included with this listing
  • Bolt-on replacement for the factory struts, unless the notes below say otherwise

Who it suits

Ideal for owners who want a low parked stance and practical ride height for driving.

About this air suspension kit for the Acura RSX

This SF Racing setup swaps the steel springs for air springs, so ride height is set with air pressure rather than a fixed spring.

Fitment notes

  • Listed for: 2002-2006 Acura RSX (DC5).
  • Model years: 2002-2006. Check your car's year falls inside this range.
  • Chassis code DC5: the same model name is often used across several chassis codes, so match the code, not just the name.
  • Factory adaptive dampers: if your car has electronic or adaptive suspension, check whether the listing covers it or needs a cancellation kit.
  • Specs, lead time and warranty come from SF Racing and can change. The details above this guide are the latest we have.

What else to plan for

  • An alignment. Any change in ride height changes camber and toe. Set your final height first, then align.
  • Camber and toe adjustment. Bigger drops often need adjustable arms or camber plates to align properly. See alignment and camber kits.
  • Management. Air struts need a compressor, tank and controller unless the listing says they're included.
  • Wheel and tire clearance. Check clearance at full lock and full compression, especially with wider wheels.

Questions about Acura RSX air suspension

Will this fit my Acura RSX?
It is listed for the 2002-2006 Acura RSX (DC5). Check your year, model, drivetrain and chassis code against the product title. If anything is different, contact us and we will confirm fitment with the supplier before you order.
Do I need an alignment after installing air suspension?
Yes. Changing ride height changes camber and toe. Set your final height, let the suspension settle, then get the car aligned.
How low can I go?
It depends on the adjustment range the brand lists, your wheels and tires, and how you use the car. Most cars that are driven hard work best with a modest drop that leaves enough suspension travel.
Where do specs and warranty details come from?
From SF Racing. We sell parts from several brands and suppliers, and each one sets its own specs, lead times and warranty terms. The product details above are the latest we have.
