Hey guys I drive a 2003 Acura RSX Type S and I am buying a few things (namely sway bars and other suspension components) and I needed to know, do I need to get the aftermarket endlinks for the aftermarket sway bars or are the factory ones good enough. I plan on doing a little auto crossing and maybe some runs at the local 1/8 mile nothing crazy.

Also what Rear lower control arms should I use? What brand have you guys been using and what is your luck with them?

My list includes...

- Progress Front and Rear sway bars (with rear tie bar)
- Rear lower control arms
- And maybe and H-brace or front tie bar...

any suggestions on brands and what other parts would be useful on the track and for spirited daily driving!

 

Get as large of a rear swaybar than you can. Leave the front swaybar alone.

You can reuse the rear swaybar endlinks. Just take care in taking them off and don't strip anything. You'll see what I mean when you look at them.

Rear lower control arms? Eh, go with an upper camber kit (which you'll need sooner or later when you get suspension) instead and dial out all of the negative camber.

I personally don't think you need anymore fornt bars. The S has one stock. Save that money for a good suspension setup.

 

So basically all I need is a good set of coilovers, rear sway bar, and the rear camber kit? Thanks for the advice, any suggestion on brands?

 

If you daily drive your car, it is tough to beat Tein S-Techs and Koni Yellows for dual purpose. That's a much better setup than the cheaper coilovers on the market.

Remember, you get what you pay for in an RSX coilover. If the coilover is $900, chances are its junk.

And yes, coilovers, rear sway and a rear camber kit will really help the way the car handles. Read the FAQs for more on this.
