for others seeing this, you'll want to preload the suspension before you tighten the LCA bolts because you dont want to tear the bushings so tightening them at full droop is not a good thing
I just did a whole type r suspension swap into a 2003 base rsx. I need to replace the rotors and brake pads tho because I’m getting a lot of squeaking any idea what I should be looking for to change them out? I’ve been reading that I need s2000 rotors with 350z break pads but I’m not sure about the year or anything.
u shouldve put offset bushings for more caster. the lack of caster in dc5 and ep3 its one of theyr major flaws. i have and its much better now, the sloshy steering wheel disapeared. i also have top caster mounts, and run 235 slicks with alot of negative camber
How do you like polyurethane front lower control arm bushings? I just bought some but I’m thinking of just getting replacement arms because it might cause squeaking issues
I'm having trouble getting the ball joint to separate from the bolt beneath the rotor I tried your pry bar technique and it won't budge at all I followed your video very carefully but I'm wondering if I did use the ball joint tool properly? if you could reply that would be a life saver! thanks man and I love all your vids!
That's tough man. Gotta use a ball joint separator, lubricant and patience! Tapping on the LCA next to where the bolt goes through helps! Tap that thing away. Flip the bottom nut upside down and make it flush with the bolt. Hit it with a 3lb hammer. Just gotta use muscle! 💪🏼
@@JedETaleon Im using the Type R LCA's and Hard Racce Bushings... Tough to install and very tight fit but we got them in and they are awesome. Poly was a bit more than I needed for street use.
How you doing brother quick question so if do I wanna swap the control arms put the type r control arms do i have to change the sway bar stabilizer get the type r one ??? Thank you
You will need Type R sway bar because the pickup point of the aluminium LCA is further away than the steel one. Ultra racing, Cusco are good choice. BTW it's good time to replace lower ball joint too. I recently had it done to my 05 type S as well using HardRace ball joints and spherical metal bushing instead of poly also with ultra racing sway bar for DC5R Cheers
Thank you for your input but the project has been finished, part 2 is already uploaded. Feel free to check it out. The DC5 has Buddy Club Ball joints as well. 👌🏻
Extremely reliable, 4 years with the same kit. Tested on the track, They are built in the USA, solid out of CNC aluminum. Visit our website. www.DC5RParts.com
The hub has to come out in order for you to remove the control arm? Or did you just take the hub out because you’re installing the axles too? Great video btw 👍🏻
No. Unless you run 2005/06 Hubs/Ball Joints. Otherwise the 2002/04 won't fit. The 2005/06 is the only model year that runs the same ball joints as the Type R. That's why I am able to run the Type R LCAs...
do you know if the type-r sway bar will clear a skunk 2 alpha race header. i've read that the type-r sway bar will NOT clear a race header. any info on that? appreciate your knowledge with DC5R's Luis! follow me on instagram (shades_wade) to check out the recaros you sold me and my new custom full red interior @@DC5RParts
Unfortunately no, the ball joints from the 02-04 RSX won't fit the ITR LCAs. :( but you can install 05-06 Hub assembly with the ball joint and it will work. :)
Legit the only clear rsx control arm swap video on TH-cam!
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 thank you man! It was hard work!
DC5R.Parts do more suspension videos brotha!! My rsx is starting to show signs and TH-cam has shitty rsx owners with low quality 😩😩

Looking forward to see the results......im considering K24 for my RSX.
Damn i have those energy poly bushing and it looks like a battle to put them in!
Whered you get the bushings ??
Here because of goonzsquad and looking forward to see more dc5 build
Absolutely! Stay tuned for more content! Thank you for joining in!

Hey Bob-O For the pads I bought 2003-2008 350z pads. S2k rotors won’t work if you swapped over the knuckles. Because the rotor offset is different.

No squeaking at all from mine. Even if there was, can’t hear it lol it’s a great replacement. Don’t hesitate 🙏🏻
Use Hard Race bushings if you are reluctant to use pure Poly bushings. Both are great though for performance.
Who makes those axles?
Someone can tell me what year is the type r LCAs? It chabge from R 04 to 05?
also the bushing you are using it says the are a fit for type s is that the ones you got and they fit for typeR the lca?
Is there any difference between the Type R and Mugen Control arms?
So all you need is type r LCAs and type r hubs for conversion? Have an 02 type s
Where did you get your axles from?
Links are in the description or visit our store. www.DC5RParts.com
Are these type r axels? If not you do need them. Type r axels are 15mm longer for a reason
@@yonodc5705they are not longer
What kind of ball joints do you have installed? I had a huge fiasco with the ball joints, when I did them and the lca's.
Buddy Club P1 Extended Ball Joints
I'm having trouble getting the ball joint to separate from the bolt beneath the rotor I tried your pry bar technique and it won't budge at all I followed your video very carefully but I'm wondering if I did use the ball joint tool properly? if you could reply that would be a life saver! thanks man and I love all your vids!

@@DC5RParts sweet thanks for the quick reply my man! ill give that a go! appreciate it!!!!!
do i need to get the buddy club p1 extended ball joints for the lca to fit? Thanks
Can the Type R LCA's take bushings meant for a Type S? Or do you have to still find Type R specific bushings?
Pretty sure you can use 05-06 bushings.. But I would replace them anyway with a Hard Race or Poly bushing anyway.
@@JonHop1 yeah that would be the plan, just didn't know if the type r and type s had different sized bushings lol
@@JedETaleon almost positive they are the same as the aftermarket bushings are all advertised as fitting the Type S Type R and Ep3
@@JonHop1 ahhhh good to know then 🤔

hi broo i want ep3 jdm type r ı am buy dc5 type r all front control arms disc and brembos what ı am ınstall for ep3 help me please
The hub has to come out in order for you to remove the control arm? Or did you just take the hub out because you’re installing the axles too? Great video btw 👍🏻
Those Type R lower control Arm don’t fit on a 02-04 Type S ?
No. You will need 05-06 Hubs & Ball joints.
The 05-06 RSX Type S ball joints are the same as the Type R. The 02-04 RSX Type s aren't.
DC5R.Parts ok thank you bro
How about if you just swap out the ball just with 05 06 will that work?
Where can i get those bushings??
Ebay or amazon
What is the axle nut size
36mm
Are these control arms still available on your site in the description? I’m in need for my type R
Yes, here you go.

Do you not own metric sockets? Using sae can strip the bolts.. they are 14mm, 17mm, and 19mm bolts..
I own metric sockets. How can it strip when it fits. Some SAE sockets fit metric. At least my sockets. thanks for watching
Will these lcas fit on a 02-04 type s?
No. Unless you run 2005/06 Hubs/Ball Joints. Otherwise the 2002/04 won't fit.
The 2005/06 is the only model year that runs the same ball joints as the Type R.
That's why I am able to run the Type R LCAs...
King Motorsport used to make an adaptor ring for this purpose, not sure if they still do, try dig up old posts in clubrsx forum
Edward Feng found them you are the best
@@DC5RParts is there a difference between 05-06 type s hubs/ball joints to 05-06 type r ?
Carlos Nieto yes if you press in 05/06 ball joints.
few questions...can i use my hardrace roll center adjusters instead of type-r ball joints? also are the type-r axles and type-s axles the same?
You can use any 05-06 Ball joint on the Type R control arms. The Type R & Type S axles are different.
thanks for the info. i actually looked on hardraces site and they sell JDM DC5R Roll Center Adjusters WOOP WOOP @@DC5RParts

aww not for 03 rsx :(
Unfortunately no, the ball joints from the 02-04 RSX won't fit the ITR LCAs. :( but you can install 05-06 Hub assembly with the ball joint and it will work. :)
