Tein PAA02-31PFR Pillow Ball Front Upper Mounts for 2002–2006 Acura RSX Type-S (DC5)
The Tein PAA02-31PFR Pillow Ball Front Upper Mounts eliminate strut movement and improve steering precision on 2002–2006 Acura RSX Type-S (DC5) models by replacing factory rubber mounts with spherical pillow ball bearings that allow full 360-degree articulation for precise camber and caster adjustment up to ±3 degrees. This pair of mounts maintains OEM ride height while reducing deflection under load, providing sharper turn-in and better feedback during cornering for up to 20% improved handling response in stock or lowered setups.
Constructed from high-strength aluminum with a durable black anodized finish, these mounts feature sealed bearings to prevent contamination and ensure longevity in wet or dusty conditions. Direct bolt-on installation uses factory torque specs and preserves airbag compatibility without modifications.
For RSX Type-S owners seeking track-level accuracy with daily comfort, the PAA02-31PFR Pillow Ball mounts are the essential upgrade for dialed-in suspension geometry.
