Part numbers 2002 Type-S suspension wanted

[rsevo6]

I have ordered the new 2002 Type-S suspension.
The parts just arrived and look exactly the same as the normal struts.

I would like to make sure I got the real Type-S/correct ones!

For some reason the parts sites of several Acura dealers don't work at the moment, so cannot check the numbers.
The numbers I got in:
Front:
51601-SL0-J04
51602-SL0-J04
Rear:
52610-SL0-J02
52610-SL0-J02
Can someone confirm if these are the the correct new Type-S (2002) struts or not?

Also: for what reason are the fronts different part numbers (L and R) and the rears not? (abs/brakeline brackets perhaps?)

Type-S = '99 Zanardi NSX, Type-S_Zero = '93 NSX-R (NA1)

I have ordered the new 2002 Type-S suspension.
The parts just arrived and look exactly the same as the normal struts.

Perhaps you anticipated the struts/shocks would look like the Type-S_Zero versions which have the external-reservoir for the dampening-oil...(?)

Here are the P/N's for my Zanardi NSX suspension...

'99 NSX Zanardi-edition 6spd. coupe
51602-SL0-J02 SHOCK ABSORBER ASSY., L. FR.
51601-SL0-J02 SHOCK ABSORBER ASSY., R. FR.

52610-SL0-J01 SHOCK ABSORBER ASSY., RR

I should have the '02 Typ-S struts, so are different numbers than the '99, thanks for sharing though.
Again tried to look at the partslist sites, but these are still offline, is this permanent?? Would be a great loss of info if that is taken offline :frown:

Still: does somebody have access to the partnumbers and can tell/confirm if I really have the correct '02 Type-S parts??

But...you are looking for non-US parts. You will not find these P/N on local US based sites. You will neeed to contact someone in Japan for assistance. The J02 suffix does indicate an original part used in Japan. There are a few of these that are used universally for all markets, but the struts are not.

Larry,

Thanks, but this site doesn't work for me neither!
Are these parts sites possibly recently blocked off for non-US users :frown:?? Just a week ago I could still get on them

Seems to be. Maybe a network cable deap down in the sea was bitten by a furious shark.
Seriously: If this seems to be the case I'm sure we'll find a workaround and even if this means that I have to reproduce the parts catalog on my webserver like someone scanned the SM into a pdf file. :wink:

As to your shocks: the front ones indicate with J04 a different version than the Zanardi J02. I recall only two versions of the Type S suspension, the Zanardi/early Type S with linear springs and the later Type S with progressive springs. Same argument for the rear shocks J02 versus J01. So I strongly believe that you got what you've paid for. :wink:
As you suspect the front ones are L/R because of the brake line holder arm on the shock.
