hey everyone, i have a premium 04 rsx,,, i picked up the brembo brake setup from the type r.. i was told it was a simple bolt on but i learned that the aluminum lower control arms that the type r comes with doesnt match up with where my sway bar would bolt on... i had to do some research to find out that i needed the sway bar from a type r... after finding them the last thing i knew i needed to do the conversion was the type r axles (36mm). im almost sure i have everything necessary to do the swap. ss brake lines, motul 600 brake fluid etc.. does anyone know if i will be needing anything else for the conversion. i have a track day coming up on the 21st and would love to have the brakes put on by then.

thanks!
any info is much appreciated

i know plenty of track dc5s that dont even run a front sway.. but anywho it sounds like yer on top of it and ready to go.

seems you got everything... just make sure you break in the brakes properly before the track day!

installed the brembos with the ITR hub with the aluminum lower control arm,,,, used the type s axle because they're 36mm.. i thought this was right but i have been noticing huge vibrations coming from the front end.i think i should have got the ITR axels, because the ITR hubs are wider, the type s axels look like its being pulled out and is not in the right position going into the differential.... can anyone confirm that i need the ITR axels, or is it something else?

thanks alot

You need the TYPE-R axles or the S axles will eventually pop out. I did this swap on my EP3 a couple years ago. I actually still have the DC5R Brembo swap I still need to sell.

if I get Brembos I wouldn't do the type-R LCAs and sway bar and axles and etc.. to much work


If I bought ITR Brembos I would just buy the S2K rotors and call it a day. A simple bracket makes it possible for the brembos to fit and the s2k rotors are the right size

I have the entire kit, with a type S axle. Stock ep3 axles work too.
I am missing a brake retainer from one of the brembo calipers. I have no idea where to get this item, ive tried nissan, dodge, mitsubishi, and called brembo. Had no idea what i was getting at. Someone please help my find the brake retainer.

the whole point of this kit is for a wider stance the brembos are just a bonus... so im told.
