Okay, i know this just sounds like the normal "what is the difference between an integra type r and regular integra" thread.


But its actually slightly different. I think i know the answers. I just need someone to confirm it. I know for sure that i saw someone actually mention it in one of the honda/acura forums once but i never paid any attention because i never thought i'd actually ever get a 4 door integra.

I would post this on the ITR section where they would have the most knowledge, but seeing how im trying to get answers between ITR and non-R integra, ill post it here since its only partially R related.

Anyways, i know all the main and basic differences. I just want to know these two questions.

1) Are the ITR DB shells more reinforced than non-R shells like how the ITR Coupes are to the non R coupes?

2) Hows the subframe? would you still need a subframe brace for beefier sway bar on non-R's? Im not positive but i believe so right?


Ive always been a 2 door guy and know all the answers to that. This is the first time im ever looking into a 4 door.

 

To answer your questions:

1. Yes
2. Subframe is different. It is reinforced on the ITR. Yes you would need something like the Beaks kit or the ASR brace to beef up the non-ITR.

 

Anyone have pics. of a usdm 4dr ITR ?

 

^x2. However, the beaks doesn't reinforce the subframe... only companies like ASR, f7, BSQ kit, comptech, etc...... Beaks is more a bling factor than anything.



^no such thing guy.... 4dr ITR's were only made/assembled in Japan.

 

Yes, youre right. By Beaks, i do not mean the Beaks lower tie bar. I mean the sway bar mounting kit that is the cheaper alternative to the ASR brace. Sorry if i was not clear lol

 

Alright. Thats what I thought.

I was just wondering because i have the chance to pick up a JDM ITR DB. Cant be registered but its cheap and it'll do just fine as a track car.

Thanks for the confirmation guys.

 

ohhh sig worth, taking it

 

^ LOL

 

Nothing wrong at all with a Beaks kit on an Integra. I've had it on my car for well over 100k miles along with a 22mm ITR rear sway bar with zero issues.

 

That's priceless. Anyway, there is no difference between the DB8 ITR and the DC2 ITR other then the DB8 has two more doors and was only produced and sold exclusively in Japan. It is still an Integra Type R.

 

I'm well aware I was being a smart *** because the OP didnt say JDM and there are always people telling me yeah I got a type R because of this or that! But the OP later added JDM so

 

japan has 4dr itr's

 

^shut up dood. don't get butthurt.... u asked a silly question. So i answered it, asshat.

Have a
