This is also going to require a little rewiring of your brake lines to the master cylinder." -By new Brake pads and rotors. (You can buy brand new OEM Brakes from ACURA which will cost you the most money, or go after market which are better for harsh driving I went with EBC pad and rotors).

Stock offset of our cars are +45mm Rims must bet at least 16” and larger to fit around the RSX Type S calipers. FAQ: Can I use parts from new SI Coupe or Sedan 2006-2010? -New SI coupe and sedan 06+ parts do not bolt up with out modifying your car a lot. I would not suggest buying any of these parts. Except for the rims will work. If you have an 01-02 you must change out your lower control arms! -rsx front lower control arms(stocks can be modified to work by using tapered washers and taking up the slack) if you have an 03-05 you dont need to modify the front struts if you have an 01-02 you can either get the later style struts and knuckle bolts, or you can drill out the strut holes and use larger bolts ABS System? -If you have ABS I would suggest taking it out. It is a headache to make it work. If you want to keep ABS you are going to need the ABS system from RSX Type S with all the sensor and cables. Why does the 01-05 Civic w/d17 need the RSX Base Front Knuckles? -Well the RSX type s front knuckles/hubs, and cv joints do NOT spline to the civic axles, but the civic axles do spline into the base RSX Base Knuckles/hubs. If you want to use RSX Type S brake calipers and rotors you must gab the RSX Type S brake caliper brackets off the RSX type S knuckles. (Note: if you are going to use RSX Type S Brakes you must use 16” rim or larger) AFTER YOU DO THIS LUG SWAP AND BRAKE CONVERSION TAKE IT TO A SHOP AND GET YOUR CAR ALIGMENT!
