Ok so I went out yesterday and bought a Satin Silver RSX Type S. I pick it up next week. Anyway, the one biggest thing that I hate in any car is squeaks and rattles. I do however want a stiff suspension for the way I drive. So a few months after I bought my last car (and started getting squeaks, rattles, grunts, etc.) I told myself that my on my next car I would stiffen the chassis on day one with as many braces as possible. So I'm wondering a few things.

1. on the RSX what strut braces are available? Stock there is the upper front, so I need an upper rear, a lower front, and a lower rear. who makes what and which are good?

2. is the upper front stock unit worth changing?

3. of the upper rear bars, do any of them have a quick release setup (so I can easily remove the bar when hauling cargo)?

 

i would change the upper front if i were you...the stock one is crap IMO...and on the upper rear you wouldn't really need to take it off unless you were going to fold the rear seats down...my mugen rear strut sits right behind the rear seats so no trunk space is taken up... oh and the type-s comes with a lower front and a lower rear from the factory...its up to you wheather or not you want them changed...

 

The problem is I often haul half my house to the cottage, so I need the trunk space...plus I would like enough space for extra wheels when I go to the track...I guess I'll wait for someone to come out with one...or maybe make my own...hmmm...

The stock lower bar's are good/no good? Just wondering cause both comptech and DC sports make an aftermarket one...why would they bother if the stock one is good? Unless the non Type-S RSX doesn't have them...

 

well the mugen strut is held on by four bolts which are very easy to remove, but the choice is yours...now on the aftermarket lower bars they are either a little thicker or adjustable making them better...but thats also based on my opinion...
