Yesterday was a very sad day :(
So i looked at my rsx rear driver side arm and it turns out that it is bent. So i guess im going to have to take the hub and rotor off and use the ep3's arm... On the pluss side the passenger side is straight and will be a plug and play kinda deal... Re bled my brakes ab hour ago! Car is drivable again! :D
yeah freaking slight bs bent knuckles. glad you fixed it. d;-)Quote:

I did what i said i was gonna do and it all went great! But! another thing i noticed is i hear a very slight rumbling noise when i drive... It dosnt seem too major. You think the bearings just need a greasing? And if so how do i do that? Lmfao
Im planing to do a 5 lug dc5 05 swap for my 02 i got buddyclub ball joints 05 control arms 05 axles disc caliper and knuckle 05 wich strut bolt i need and my oem 02 ep3 brake lines are compatible?
Yes they should be compatible but you may want to spend $100 and upgrade to stainless steel. When I did I ordered the RSX-S version but to be honest they may be identical.Quote:

It has been covered somewhere but I can't seem to find it. I need to know what else do I need to do the type s 5 lug swap. I have 2004 rsx types rotors, brakes, calipers, balljoints, bearings, axles, front Lca, rear dust caps. I read the brake lines on dc5s are longer than ep3. Is this a fact? What else shall I pick up to complete everything that is needed.
yes they are longer the brake lines. The ABS sensors or just space the ep3 ones.Quote:

Yes yes...don't forget to get the ABS sensors from the 5 lug swap parts.
Did you ever find the source of the rumbling noise. Maybe the shields behind the front brakes.Quote:

Reviving an old thread here, did anyone notice the 02/04 RSX-s axles are shorter than the ep3? Did this cause any problems on lowered suspension? I went to buy and found they are 28 spline and short ~ 2".
Ummmm OEM or aftermarket?Quote:

Yeah, I checked the specs from autozone's website. They all have different lengths. I checked 03 - 03 and the type s were longer actually.
Anyhow, what size washers do I use for the abs sensor? How many? Do I have to drain the transmission? The manual didn't mention that. I may just swap out the axles to type -s because I've been eyeballing that new type r motor 306hp turbo stock!!!
