As for cost I work at www.japanmotorimport.com so it wasn't a factor.

We should have some more in in the next few weeks. We have no idea yet for price.

I called Japan today we do not have the master in our yard, same goes for the front swaybar.

If anyone knows if the type-s master cylinder is larger please let me know. If you know how much larger. My wife does not like the soft peddle...

I have the RSX front sway in my car, it fits fine. Just curious why the ep sway wouldn't match up with the dc5 arm. Different mounting location?

[JMI]

Hmm this is bad. If you have the DC5 sway then the DC5-r must be different. The DC5-r lower A arm is different. It was late and when we went to put it back on it didn't fit. Possible we screwed up and it would have fit. I have an extra set of the DC5-R lower arms. I guess its time to measure them to the stock EP3's.

Thanks for the info.

Whats the major issue with fitment though? is it that the mounts dont line up, the sway is shaped differently, the arms are shaped differently?

:)

[JMI]

The end links would not bolt up to the a arm. Off by 1-2 inch

you dont really need the tie rods, the only reason that you need them was because you had changed to the dc5 shocks you don't have to. i was wanting to go 5 lug with spoon mono blocks though

I weighed the Arm

EP3 and the RSX master cylinders are different. The reservoir for our car is shaped differently. The RSX on would not fit in our car. But the good news if that it looks like the reservoirs could be switched over. Still haven

of course they make mud flaps for our car!:D ;)
