Also, those were two different comparisons. I'm asking for OPINIONS not if they would fit or not. I researched the topic but I couldn't find anything or I would get non-ITR owners saying that it would be better off with aftermarket suspension.
If you don't like this thread then don't look at it? You aren't being forced to look at it, bud. If it bothers you THAT MUCH then tell a moderator to move it to the right section, wherever that is.

I started with itr springs, shocks, lca on my 95 LS, shocks went bad switched to non type r koni yellow with stock LCA, on the konis I run the rears on the lower perch, I did'nt notice much difference, other than that of going from blown shocks to new ones, it a good dd set up I like it, but it feels super soft when compared to my EH3 with gc\koni 380/380....I believe the type r springs are 250 Linear in front, back is 250 progressive....but I could be wrong

You know what's funny? You overpaying thousands,of dollars for what is essentially a "clean" base model.

You,can swap,every nut and bolt from an itr onto an ls, but at the end of the day it's still an ls.

I'm not trying to make my GS into an ITR. I like wanted ITR suspension because the car was built to take quick corners and high amount of stress from the track. The suspension is firm and comfortable since it is an OEM product.

two options are koni yellows & some sort of spring combo (up to you) Ground control & eibach springs tend to be most popular, or Showa oem itr shocks with oem itr springs if you want an "OEM" like ride. They are going to be similar in feel but koni doesnt quite have the valving the oem itr's do. I would go OEM all day they can go for 70k miles pretty easily if treated properly (no tracking events).

Where can you buy them? I had no luck searching online.

Which ones? OEM? Google search new oem acrua parts, places like acurapartsnow.com or acuraoemparts.com etc will have what you are looking for, then enter your car information(whatever year itr suspension you want probably '98-'01) and a parts catalog will appear, obviously front shock tower, then rear shock tower are the categories you will want. You can no longer buy the suspension in one piece so you'll need to order the shock absorbers, then the springs, then all bushings/and whatnot needed for the install(they show you pictures so it makes it pretty easy to see everything you need, I would write down a list first so you can check everything off your list otherwise it can get overwhelming at times), While you're doing this install it would be a great time saving thing to replace any bushings on swaybars, endlinks, control arms etc.... At least that's what I'm going to do. hahaha
GL and ask any questions when needed!

2001 INtegra type r shocks

Acura Parts @ AcuraAutomotiveParts.org - Genuine Acura OEM Parts from Acura Carland

at that price I would go with the konis

Would the Koni yellows be a good match up with ITR springs?

koni or bilsteins are typically recommended, there are a few threads on the koni yellows on here.

I can't complain about using bilstein sports with my springs, it performs well for autocross for me.

I've always been a Koni yellow fanboy. Those are just some plain nice shocks/struts for anything!

egsleepercivic

imo it's a pretty good setup for a daily, not harsh, just a little bit of lowering

Well 3/4 done with installing mine. Everything has gone smooth, down to the last shock and control arm and it starts raining too hard to complete. Un-freaking-real

Shocks and struts say Showa on them but can't read part numbers as the seller or someone has painted them gloss black.

Koni's with type r springs on 99-00 civic, rear ls swaybar. Feels nice.

For $100, it would be worth it.

Got it on and I'm extremely happy with it. Needs a larger rear sway bar though, body roll is still there a bit more than I'd like.

tony_2018

What about your tires? What size are they?

I don't know how you drive but for me the ls rear swaybar was plenty enough, even the em1 had like a......13mm?....and it did the job.

They are crappy tires and 14". I don't THINK the sidewalls are very stiff at all.

HRubss

I got mines and they feels terrific, just need tie rod ends and what not.

tony_2018

Thats probably part of the problem because I have 14's as well and they suck ***** but my car does not have any body roll.

egsleepercivic

"14 195/60/14 on my LS with ITR springs and koni yellow, tires roll over like a moe foe, I drive aggressively though

75aces

Tire and wheel combo could help improve the roll. 14 may is too small IMO in this situation. 16 may be big enough to balance the weight. The lower you go, you reduce center of gravity and the car doesn't know where its at. Just my opinion.

I will be going with 15x8s with 205 Dunlops more than likely. Was going to order them yesterday but got a gun instead. smh
