Just wondering if the '05+ Type R suspension is any different than '02-'04 Type R.
Sway bars still 23mm front/22mm rear?
And how do the shocks and springs compare to the '05+ USDM Type S (spring rates, height)?

edit: If anyone could read Japenese it looks like the answer is right here:

The 05+ USDM Type-S springs are not that close to JDM ITR spec. The A-spec suspension is somewhat close, but still not exact I don't believe.

 

THE REAR SWAY BAR IS 19 MM ON THE 05 RSX.

I was asking about the 05 Integra Type R, not the 05 base RSX.

I know it's one hell of an upgrade. When I changed the rear sway bar on my GSR (14mm) to a Type R bar (22mm) I couldn't believe what a difference it made; totally changed the characteristic of the car. Best bang for the buck as far as suspension mods go

The 05+ Type S uses a 26.5mm bar in the front instead of a 23mm, so it looks like I'm going to need something bigger than the Type R bar this time.

I have been considering doing the same thing. How would you describe the change in handling?

Thanks

It's kind of difficult to describe the change and words don't do justice, but simply put, it counters alot of understeer, making the car handle more neutral. It definitely makes the car more fun to drive. Go for it

 

23mm front and 22 rear.

 

ummm i guess the best way to put it is...... i live on a curvey road with great elevation changes and after that up grade along with the carbing rear tie bar i could take the turns roughly 10-15 mph faster(i dont have the ***** to push it to the limits lol) and the car just sticks and goes..... thats about the best way that i can put it.... icbmotorsport.com is where i got mine great peeps and quick shipping....
