Official "RS" Owners Gallery / Thread
#92
Oh and since we're using this thread for "RS" discussion as well as pics I have some questions.
1) Does anyone have some official production numbers from Mitsu for the RS? I've heard the IX RS are as low as 358 units...basically split up WW and RR evenly.
2) What is the official weight of the RS? I thought I saw something in the low 3000 lbs range posted.
Thanks...now add more pics people! I definitely want to see more hi-res photos of VIIs please!!!

I'm not positive about the USDM RS wieght, but I've seen it listed a couple times at 3219lbs IX RS(w/ manual A/C listed as standard so non AC will be under 3200lbs) vs IX MR 3285 vs IX SE 3262. The VI TME RS is listed at 1260 kg or 2778 lbs

Thanks. No strut bar = less weight. The rims are Kosei 17x8 with 225/45/17 BFG drag radials

Wow the VI TME RS is super light! That's lighter than a 98-01 Subaru 2.5 RS coupe.

BTW, Thanks for your reply to my wheel & strut bar question....I realize now that you are a serious 1/4 miler & the strut bar is probably not to useful......Peace

I have an RS related question! Anyone have a manually adjustable brake bias for front to rear bias adjustment? I can very easily with Hawk HP plus pads and DBA rotors lock my rears up under moderate/heavy braking. I am going to put some new rubber on the car before making any crazy steps towards adjusting brake bias, but I believe the car could benifit from more front brake and less rear. Any thought?
Thanks Craig
I LOVE MY RS!!
