      Future K20A2 swap question about Axels

      I will be swapping a K20A2 engine soon but right now I need new axles and the new motor doesnt have them. First question to verify is that the RSX-S ones are in fact thicker than the EP3 ones and are designed to handle more HP?, and second as long as I order the correct hub will they fit the K20A3 for the time being? I got an 04 model that already has the 04 RSX-S brake upgrade with HFP wheels.

      They are indeed bigger/thicker. As long as you have the Rsx-S brake set up you will be fine. The inboard splines on both axles are the same.

      This. You can use dc5base or dc5s axles depending on the hub they are mating to.

      I got the Type S hubs and axles put in and it made quite a difference, I like the way it rides a lot better. Feels pretty solid.
