I am teaming up with YawSport to help with the suspension fabrication and setup. Front Bilstein struts, originally designed for a Civic SI will have the steering arm reworked to accommodate the RSX tie-rod taper and stock oem spring perches will be cut off and replaced with threaded coilover sleeves. The strut inserts will be sent to Bilstein for revalving. 11.20 lbs each as pictured.
Here is what Todd's camber / caster plates look like. These are daVinci Designs Version 1. Allows maximum 7* caster without slotting or cutting the strut tower. Each plate weighs 3.25 lbs.
Version 2 is a much more simple design with fixed maximum caster, but I got these V1 plates used for a good price. The upper spring perches are for 2.5" springs. The shoulder nuts pictured are sized for the 14mm PSS9 shaft instead of the 12x1.25mm shaft on my B8 Bilstein struts and new replacement parts are not available at this time. We may need to custom machine new parts. Also need to sleeve the upper perches to precisely fit the strut shaft.
Keeping an eye on the classified section at ClubRSX and I scored a used Hotchkis rear swaybar. No longer in production and originally priced at a whopping $400, this one is 27mm diameter hollow with two adjustment holes on each arm and room to drill another stiffer hole if required. Weight 7 lbs with brackets and urethane bushings.
