well im looking into this one evo its actually an 06 rs but i have a few questions they have told me it has no abs brakes and other minor things but wondering whats the difference with and without it and is their any difficulties with your rs's thanks...

 

ABS is the big one IHMO.

There are many threads on this subject.

and your question is vague.

 

I did'nt miss ABS on my RS, those Brembos bite hard!

It is lighter but gives raw sensation w/o insulation. Different feel compared to my GSR. If you can deal w/ little inconveniences of manaul window and locks it's a great ride...

Brakes are good without abs. I dont mind the road noise, if it gets on my nerves i just turn up the stereo. Roll down windows dont bother me except when my girlfriend says to me " you bought a car for almost 30k and it doesnt have power windows and locks". I just tell her that the hand motion is a good work out for her I didnt want a bleacher on the trunk, so it was a good choice. Just wish the dealer would've let me get HID's

 

I added aftermarket HID for $300 w/ 5300k bulbs and I swear those were much brighter than my stock IX SE HIDs.

It was SUPER bright!!! Get one...

 

some other things it does not have is, no fogs, no firewall sound material, no raadio or speakers(but wires are ran already for easy install), no trunk carpet, no rear wiper/wing, no abs brakes, no power windows etc and i think that about it.

things better about the RS is, aluminum roof, trunk bar, 147lbs lighter than all evos, and still has AC!!! Good luck!

 

ya the rs from what i have heard is a great deal. i dont mind the abs or non power windows i just cant do the non power locks lol i cant stand leaning over to open the door for other people haha

 

alright thanks guys for your inputs...yes i love the rs im looking at and all was just wondering i can deal with the no pwr locks or windows and all...im gettinbg them to put the radio in for me lol....and i love the no wing look....i was just wondering if people had their ifs or problems with them

 

i love my RS, i'm actually looking into putting in an alarm with the keyless entry system. it's an awesome deal.

 

I would like to have abs, but it hasn't been an issue in 2 years of ownership. The brakes are outstanding. I like having my own radio, (Alpine), instead of that oem piece. Not having power locks and windows is annoying sometimes but I deal with it. My main complaint is the transmission action. What used to be reasonable is now annoying. Still deciding how to resolve that issue. If you want something closer to a true racecar experience this is it. I got the RS with no wing so I could avoid unwanted attention and it's worked well so far.

 

yea i love the no wing look....but wondering what are you talking bout the transmission action???

 

theres quite a bit different, alot of lil stuff too that your dont really think about. No power windows or locks, no abs, no cruise, no vanity mirrorsin the visors, no armrest, no radio or speakers all the wireing is there, no sound deadening in the whole car, the trunk is gutted(looks awesome), no HID's or fogs, it does have a LSD diff, and a 15% shorter through shifter than the GSR,

PS: i wouldnt have mine any other way.....i dont just like my car, i LOVE it.

 

alright thanks yea well im really looking into this 1 and one of the guys out here told me he will get me a great deal on hid's so im not worried about that.....yea i know about the lsd and all im really gonna go look again at this car....thanks man

 

Well before you get it make sure it shifts ok. Give it a try when it's cold. That's when it is worst. It should shift better after it warms up. If it doesn't shift pretty good in your opinion I'd skip it.

 

The Evo IX RS is only 44 Lbs lighter than the Evo IX GSR. Not all that much.
