unevolved is right on. RSX-S hub, you need RSX-S axles. EP3/Base RSX axles fit EM2 hubs though. not sure what you're trying to do.

That, and D17 axles fit base RSX hubs if you're trying to switch to 5-lug. If you want to run a Type-S brake setup with a D17, you're going to need custom axles.

no

If you want type S brakes, but don't want to get RSXS outer axle ends, and get them welded do the D17 shaft, you can run base or EP3 front knuckles with RSXS rotors and calipers. You will have to either bend back, or cut off the dust shield, though.

Wow, good thing to be corrected on. I'd always heard you had to run the Type-S knuckles with the Type-S brakes. Glad I was wrong, I'll keep that in mind.

I wasn't sure of it either, but I did some research and it works. Lucky for me, since my RSXS knuckles are rusted to ****, and the ball joints are ripped. ....

Yeah, my entire suspension's messed up right now. Lots of lovely noises going on. I'm thinking of going 5-lug and replacing the whole damn lot.

That's not that great of a deal, honestly. From what I've heard, at least.

I'm not saying it's not a good price, sorry. I wasn't very clear. I'm just saying I've heard that's about the price you should be paying. If you're paying more, you need to do some more asking around.
