"To achieve these goals," Jacobs explains, "the RSX uses a new variable-assisted rack-and-pinion steering system and a new Reactive-Link Double-Wishbone rear suspension system. RSX's front suspension is a newly designed Toe Control-Link Independent Strut system that greatly enhances cornering performance while minimizing weight and maximizing interior room."
The RSX Type S suspension is even more aggressive, using as it does firmer springs and dampers and a larger front stabilizer bar for even greater responsiveness and road feel.
All RSX models get 4-wheel disc brakes with a 3-channel anti-lock system that helps "to ensure secure stopping power," but the RSX Premium is equipped with 262-mm vented discs in front and 260-mm discs at the rear.
To match its additional performance capabilities," Jacobs says, the Type S uses larger 300-mm vented discs up front. Both the RSX-Premium and RSX Type S models feature V-rated 55 Series tires on 16-inch alloy wheels.
Inside, the RSX features what Jacobs calls a "driver-tuned" cockpit design, with large-diameter, metallic-face gauges with a "backlit" design that are grouped in a pod that angles toward the driver.
Standard safety features on all RSX models include dual front airbags and side airbags, dual seatbelt pretensioners on both front seats, and side-impact protection pads.
