To begin I have a question which has several parts: Sway bars - Which RSX sways fit- what years and what are the differences between base model vs type-s? Can anyone confirm 02-04 base and type-s both fit? Strut bars - Can anyone confirm 02-04 (base and type-s) have same strut tower bolt configuration as 01-02 EM2/ES1 strut tower bolts and fit our 7th gens, what about for the 03-05 7th gen guys?
More on strut bars---
These days everyone pretty much has a Neuspeed or DC front upper strut bar. I ask these questions because I’m looking for something different, I’m looking for stuff that not many other ppl have. This brings me to looking at the RSX front strut bars.
The Carbing bar is not out for the EM2/ES1 yet the DC5 is out with different part numbers for the base model and the type-s.

6) Other misc DC5/EP3 parts may or may not fit. SOME strut bars fit, ALL rear sway bars fit, SOME front sway bars fit, ALL rear tie bars fit.
IF the rsx bars fit… then we should have a lot more upper front strut tower bar options. Including the Cusco (which bruke and drew ran). What else out there fits or doesn’t fit?

All of the RSX rear anti-roll bars will fit, and on the Type-S they range from 19mm (early years) to 21mm(late years). the Base keeps the 19mm throughout.
As far as strut bars, my concern would be clearance for your intake piping, stock or other wise. as the RSX doesn't have theirs in the same place as ours... So even though they have the same bolt pattern (suspensions are swappable.) you may not be able to fit one any ways, unless you get creative with some piping.

"I know Solo only comes one minute at a time, but what an intense, non-stop, fast-forward car control exercise minute it is. Sure, the velocity is higher in road racing, but inside the car it is slow-motion in comparison. In Solo, the turns come like machine-gun rounds. "
