2003 Acura RSX Type-S "Performance Package"

[Fletch]

Well, I have a bad feeling that the new 2003 Acura RSX Type-S "Performance Package" will be as close as we get to a Type-R here in the United States. I just found out that the "Performance Package" will include the following:

Acura will offer its first Factory Performance package for the RSX Type-S at dealerships nationwide beginning in early 2003.

The Factory Performance package features track-tuned shocks and springs that lower the car by approximately one inch. These shocks and springs combined with lightweight aluminum alloy wheels, 17-inch high performance tires, slotted brake rotors and performance brake pads give the RSX Type-S razor sharp handling, reduced body roll, increased cornering grip and enhanced braking performance. A rear wing spoiler, an under-body spoiler kit and an interior trim package featuring a Factory Performance shift knob and badging, give the car an aggressive, high performance look.

The RSX Type-S Factory Performance package includes:
High performance, track-tuned shocks and springs
Slotted brake rotors and performance brake pads
Lightweight 17x7.5 inch alloy wheels
High performance tires (225/45VR17)
Factory performance rear wing spoiler
Under-body spoiler kit
Metallic look interior trim kit
Factory Performance shift knob
Factory Performance badging
