Double ball joint suspension on the hubs and then a fixed bush in the front subframe.

Fixed bush as in its like a traction bar swivel joint attachment rather than a through bolted rubber bush as on the 4g?

The type s theory is no differnt tbh, rather than the traction bar fitting to the lca it's just attached to the hub directly, changing it's length will have the same impact to the caster.

The reason you have to change the complete strut is the bar connects to the subframe with a typical round bush mounded horizontally meaning there's no adjustment. I bet a new rod from honda would cost a bomb.

It wont as it doesn't have ATTS.

Yer only ATTS equipped vehicles have the advanced shizzlery.

New rods for the Type S are around £130 each. I'm trying to get the longer ones and a full polybush.
