I had a 99 gsr lowered with eibach springs and Kyb adjustable struts. It could out handle anything. as far as I am concerned. I had a Aem cai and JG 4-2-1 header (speny) Msd cap, coil, and plug wires. I could go on and on but to say the least it was really cool. I wish I would have got more money out of it but what do you expect from a trade-in. (im not telling how much I got) Anyway, I love my rsx. :woowoo: It pulls harder on the bottom, it rides better lowered, it is nicer in styling inside and out. I don't think it was as fast as the gsr but all it has is injen sri and a muffler. Other than the whole money issue, I would go from a gsr to a type-s any day of the week. maybe not tuesday but other than that. :thumbup:
