Difference between ITR and non-R compliance bushings?
I was looking up prices for front lower control arm compliance bushings, and I noticed a different part number and price for ITR vs. non-R Integra bushings. The parts and prices are as follows:
ITR front LCA compliance bushings:
51395-ST7-Z01 BUSH, R. FR. COMPLIANCE $63.32
51396-ST7-Z01 BUSH, L. FR. COMPLIANCE $63.32
Other 94-01 non-R Integra front LCA compliance bushings:
51395-ST7-004 BUSH, R. FR. COMPLIANCE (TO) $78.04
51396-ST7-004 BUSH, L. FR. COMPLIANCE (TO) $78.04
The ITR compliance bushings are about $15 cheaper each! Both ITR and non-R Integras use the EXACT SAME front lower control arms, and all the other bushings in the FLCA's are the same across all models.
So does anyone know the difference in the compliance bushings? Could I use the ITR bushings on my non-R?

Yes you can use the ITR compliance bushing in your non-ITR arms. Sleeve ID and bushing OD are identical. Like a few of the other bushings, the ITR has a slightly higher durometer in a few spots (the torque mounts are another example).

sweet, sounds good. Odd that the ITR bushings would be cheaper, though. That'll save me about $30 on my total when I get around to replacing them.

So the configuration of the bolt holes in the compliance bushing base and the holes in the chassis are the same across all models, ITR and non-R correct? Just wanting to confirm.

Great information
Does anyone have any idea why the type R compliance bushings would be cheaper than standard integra compliance bushings?
That is the whole bracket, correct? Not just the bushing..?
It just doesn't make sense to me.. You get a stiffer bushing for cheaper? Lol

There is no pressing of compliance bushings, and yes it has the bracket.
I actually went with the whole HardRace kit for about $250 which came with the compliance bushings, and I put these on first because I only had to unbolt the old bushings and bolt up the new ones. The LCA just has that rear "stud" that goes through the bushing and bolts on the back side.

Re: Difference between ITR and non-R compliance bushings?
I know this is an old thread, but because I changed mine out today. The Type R bushing is SOFTER than the plain Teg. It is soft to allow for the arm to slightly move under hard braking to toe out the wheels. So not everything
race needs to be harder..
"In order to enhance stability while braking in a straight line or cornering, the L-shaped lower control arm has been equipped with specially tuned compliance bushings. These bushings allow the lower control arm to impart a toe-out condition on the front wheels. Allowing the wheels to toe out while braking in a corner enhances stability and allows the vehicle to track more precisely."
and it has to be softer for the toe increase as softer = more movement.

I ended up getting the mugen bushings from king motorsport, they end up costing a bit cheaper as a set than ordering both from the dealer.

next time, or for any body else in the future, order mugen bushings from RHDJAPAN.com, it comes out even cheaper than kingmotorsports.
