The front brakes are from Brembo, with four pistons and a fixed caliper. The car is equipped with a limited slip differential and adaptive dampers in the suspension, 19-inch alloy wheels and 265/30 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires.
Externally, the Acura Integra Type S is distinguished by a sporty body kit made of rear wheel arch extensions, sills, developed bumpers: the front one with an increased air intake area, the rear one with an imitation diffuser and three exhaust pipes.
The aluminum hood with air intake opening and wide front fenders are all original parts of the Acura Integra Type S.
