Smile Acura RSX-S Brakes & Wheels on a fit?

Yeah just hearin' somethin goin around about being able to put RSX knuckles on your fit and was wondering if anyone has any solid info if it can be done I think 2002 RSX/Integra Type R rims+the Mugen professional kit would look great Plus in addition to swap the big brakes over too would be icing on the cake! Any info is greatly appreciated.

seems unlikely... front suspension designs are different (dbl wishbone vs. mac-strut), but could probably work out.
rear suspension (multilink vs. torsion beam), i can't see how that could work.
Gen 1 Integra would be a better match for the rear

there's a member on here - ducrow@mac.com
his fit was featured in last month's Siphon mag. He did a similar swap, but used older gen 'teg parts - it worked out with some modification. I'd look him up and PM him with questions or refer to Nov. issue of Siphon for photos. Where there's a will there's a way!

RSX's had macphersons up front so it's not impossible.

There are many Fits/Jazzs in Asia are using DC5R brembo already... so i think it is possible...

Here are the exploded views for both vehicles. The knuckles are #2 and #3 in both pictures.

From looking at the pictures it seems that it wouldn't work. But I wouldn't know since I have no technical knowledge nor experience for this kind of thing. I hope this helps though.
