Thanks I guess, not sure what you mean tho.

...anyways. Can't someone thats already done this swap help me out?

Top hat's. If that's from a DC5-S... I think you're going to need to run DC5-S tie rod end's. Did you get DC5-S spec progress springs or EP3 spec?

dc5 s shocks
springs are for ep3, does that work?
u think i have to run the type s sway bar too?

[spartan]

these are my brembo calipers the left one is missing what the right one has, not sure what its called.
does anyone know if that piece is important?

[johnkimble]

definitely type-s tie-rods and axles. ep3 top hat on that strut will probably work, it's worth a try. I can't imagine them being that different.

re: the missing piece, I think that's what keeps the pads in place. if it were me I'd wait on buying a type-s sway until I was positive that I needed it (running w/out a front sway isn't a big deal) -- ie once I was positive the ep3 one doesn't work

Hey guys almost done with buying the parts for this swap. Just need front ITR control arms ($225!) an maybe that front Type S sway bar.
I'll post pics when everything comes together.
I was wondering, What kind of brake fluid should i use?
My buddy suggested Motul Dot 3 or 4 RBF 600 Racing Brake Fluid.
Now i want it to be for my daily driver street friendly, but be able to handle a touge every once in a while.

I believe you need the DC5R sway bar to work with the DC5R front lower control arms. The mounting points on the LCA are wider than the other RSX models.

Honda brake fluid. Brake fluid is brake fluid unless you're driving in Sweden on the ice or in La Mans.
