just be patient, go with your five lug, and then get an ITR specific suspension setup. there are differences in the suspension setup for the two cars.

Just get some basic shocks for now. Don't go with teins right now. Umm, I believe(but not positive) that the tein flex is only for Type R suspension anyway. So you should wait to get it till after you get your 5 lug suspension. The setup runs like 1200 with wheels I believe? I think thats about how much it is. Just look in the classifieds.

I was offered full 5 lug with wheels and the hub for 2000.. the white euro wheels.. so i dunna the price varies.. i was thinking tein but because i dont own a type R it doesnt seem the best choice.. i like HKS's suspension..

The flex is a decent setup, though I would change the spring rates, and shock valving accordingly. The ITR uses a different rear lower control arm than other Integras, the shock mounts via an eyelet, rather than the fork type mount on the other models. As for the conversion, I'd look through the sponsors section to get a great price. I have the Tein Super Street coil-overs on my 1994 GS-R, but I opted for the pillow ball upper mounts, and had the spring rates, and shock valving changed. I run 10kg springs up front and have had anything from 6kg through 14kg springs in the rear. I like the 10kg front 9kg rear setup for street driving. If you want to wait for teins until after your swap, I'd go to any auto parts store and purchase oem replacement shocks.

why dont you buy the itr rear lower control arms and get the ITR specific teins. so you en get the new suspension you want and not have to replace it when you get the ITR five lug

1400 is pretty nice for the gun metal wheels and suspension.. youll get some cash for the gsr suspension especially in pieces.. projectteg is right.. rear ITr control arms and thats it
