I Thought i would start this to help all of us that own RWD Stageas...

It would be good to keep it only RWD so it can be an information source for people that need help with part and other bits

These are some things i know so far

I will edit as i go to fill in the gaps and if there's new info that would be great

Upgrades can be listed as well as stock part

Front Brakes: -Calipers = Unknown Upgrade:GTST r33

- Rotors = Unknown

Rear Brakes: -Calipers = Unknown

- Rotors = Unknown

Suspension: -Tension/caster rods: 300zx,R33, R34 (and many more i think)

-Tie rods and ends = S14,S15

-Other rods etc: Unknown

-Front Springs: Unknown

-Front Shocks: Unknown

-Back Springs: Unknown

-Back Shocks: Unknown

Gear box: -Auto: r34/s2stagea

Yeah, they are: Myles (GreenGhost) just bought and fitted a new set of HSD coilovers, and the fronts were the same as S14. Bonus for him was adjustable camber tops: My RSFour set didn't get them...

FYI: he also managed to get R34 GTT front calipers to fit with a little bit of fiddling.

Rear suspension is the same on both 4wd and RWD, as far as I am aware: Told Myles to get his lazy self back on the forums and give you as much info as he has: give it time - He'll get around to it.

r33 front brakes and rotors will fit with a wahser/spacer to line then up

rear brakes r34 will fit straight up

rear shocks are the same as 4wd

fronts shocks are s14

gearbox is same as r34

ottomoto do coilovers for s2 rwd and are awesome

Another RS S2 owner signing in.

All I can add is that an RB30 will drop straight in with no drilling of mounts using stock manifold.

Cant fit the strut brace on without spacing it up, or perhaps a non traction control throttle body would give a little more clearance.

Unless the 2wd has an entirely different suspension to the 4wd all he will be adjusting is the angle of the shocks - not the camber.

2wd front is entirely different. It is mcpherson strut, strut towers also look different.

Can also add that the whiteline rear swaybar does fit, but you need to slot out the u brackets a bit and make some spacers (about 15mm per side) to straigten up the links as the rs rear end is wider for some reason. You can get by without the spacers, but the links are on a crazy angle and I wouldn't recommend it.

Another addition, as the front suspension is different, the info for s2 brake conversions doesnt apply to rs. The mounting holes are 12mm, so the same options are a direct fit as for an s1, eg r33 brakes. I wanted to use 34gtt brakes, and made new inserts for the callipers with an m12x1.25 threads rather than drilling out the knuckles as some guys have done. If anyone wants a photo or info let me know, but if you look at the callipers its pretty obvious :)

WHile this is an old thread by 2+ years. This is what i have found out about the rwd stagea,

- They use the McPhersons strut front suspension setup of the S15 (Bottom arm, 5 stud hub, shock etc)

- They have a 2 pot brake caliper and 280mm S14/S15 rotors

- The rear has no hicas

- Has an S15 rear subframe/arm setup (S15 hubs, S15 style subframe I Have measured this.

- Uses an R33 internal drum handbrake with an S14 style single pot sliding caliper

- Diff 4:1 VLSD

Other stuff I found out:

- 296mm R33 GTST Callipers/Rotors bolt straight up which means 33GTR Brembo's/350z Brembo's will too

- R34 GTT callipers/rotors WILL NOT fit, unless you drill out the hub as the calipers use larger bolts

- S14/15 adjustable rear arms etc all fit

- Uses S-body/R-body suspension bushes

- Tension rods are S14/15-R33/34

- Tie rods and ends are S14/S15

      Surprisingly the D6000 is only $1999, I'm waiting for the BF/CM sales, and hoping to get one cheaper. D4000 is well priced, still outperforms the 13" SVS PB-3000 and is like 1/2 the price at $1699 RRP. I do watch a fair amount of movies, and listen to EDM, jazz, symphonies, etc. so the lower notes from a subwoofer are always appreciated. The front 8" stage, just doesn't provide you with lively feeling, even though they are pretty bassy for a pair of large bookshelves. Then again, these days it's just playing Wiggles, Blippi and Ms Rachel, another reason the 3m wide cabinet exists, to hide all the audio gear behind it. They used to sit on a nice pair of stands, but as you know, they make good baby traps too.

      Granted, which is a solid reason why I don't have one. My floorstanders are only -2 dB at 22 Hz.  So they're still working down to <20 Hz. Which is no doubt part of the reason why my receiver shits the bed! That Tonewinner would be about double the cost though, so it's not apples and apples. There aren't many AU$1300 subs (that you can buy prebuilt, I'm ignoring what can be achieved by DIYing) that compete.

      -6dB at 22Hz isn't that great, watch the data from the D6000 from REW

      I'll just leave this here. https://www.adelaidespeakers.com/subwoofers.html TL loading, big power. They sound awesome. This is what I would buy if I was going to try to take the bass away from my floorstanders. Just go with the 12".

      I'll snap up some photos when I'm back home, in the office today meeting my "in the office" quota. Have 2x Teams calls scheduled in, office culture they reckon.   I've never owned a proper off the shelf sub, I've always made or modified broken ones with Jaycar plate amps and/or car subwoofer drivers. The current (and broken) subwoofer has a proper home driver in it, Dayton driver, thos one https://www.daytonaudio.com/product/118/rss265hf-4-10-reference-hf-subwoofer-4-ohm FS of 25Hz, which is low but not low enough. Yeah, I think they were brought out to the market to compete with SVS. I would love a SVS PB-3000 but they're not cheap, especially after their price hike. From reviews online, it does look like the Tonewinner D6000 would destroy and with good amount of money saved too.
