what would be a better handling car 2005 accord with coilover and sway
vs. stock rsx type s. I am debating btn the two for daily/weekend auto x car. I liked to have a extra space of accord but i like it to handle somewaht close to rsx what do u guys think. also Any reviews on coilovers?

 

RSX due to it's sheer size and weight. The accord would be a hog on an auto x course.

 

does 250 punds make that much difference

 

yes h:

plus the rsx is shorter and more compact.

 

An Accord can be made to handle as well or much better than an RSX, but it'll take time and quite a good deal of money. For the same amount of change you can have an RSX that will handle that much better than the Accord. However, I prefer the Accord because I feel the RSX is too small and don't really like the interior

 

if by accord you mean a tsx, I'd get the TSX over the rsx if you want space. if by the 7th gen you mean accord, get the rsx.

 

I'm not sure I'd pick either for an Auto-x car....

I'd have a Mini-cooper on my list for a daily - auto-x'er.

If brand new isn't a criteria, many a used 3-series can be had for the same price as an RSX-S. They'll have mileage and may need a tweak or two but again a better weekend warrior IMO.

 

I like mini too but i am 6'2" 240lbs so it would be too small.
