I was wondering what they looked like, I just bought a piar off ebay and needed to make sure the bottom of the strut was the correct one. Does it look like this photo:



or this one:



Basically does it have the bearing or is it a fork? Thanks.

 

bottom pick. unless you have the ITR suspension then the rears would be the bushing type.

 

OK ****!!! Umm Well how much do you think that the bottoms will be to replace? And are coilover bottom sleeves interchangable with other companies? If so please send link.

 

front is like a can of soda

rear is a fork

That first pic is suspension for an EP3 Civic Si or an RSX.

The second pic is suspension for a 90-01 Integra or Civic.

 

A lot of people on ebay don't use the actual pics of the item you're getting, just a pic of some random suspension that they use on all of their auctions in order to save time. Check the details with the seller.

 

nope there the wrong ones. Does anyone know where I can get the bottom forks? Any info is neeeded.

bottom forks? only the front requires the bottom forks and those should unbolt from your stock suspension...

the rear has it's own built in forks which the rear lower arm goes in between.

Well I may have been a little dishonest. I asked to see what the bottom of the stut looks like when in fact Its a full setup coilover. Should I swap for the ITR suspension or just go and buy the forks? Sorry for the confusion. At first I just wanted to see what they looked like and now I need to know how I can fix the problem.

if you got the ITR coilovers for your GSR, you require rear itr lca's... that's it..

if you got the GSR coilovers, it's literally a direct bolt on.

in both cases, you reuse your front stock forks and brake line brackets

Thanks da_truf. Looks like Ill be searching for some ITR lca's any body have a set? Should I buy aftermarket or oem?

 

I have a set of ITR LCA's that I'm looking to sell.

The only problem is that one bolt is still stuck and its holding the shock in place. You can probably just drill it out or torch it out. Oh yeah and they could use a coat of paint. The guy I got them from started sanding them down for paint.

PM me if you're interested

 

Ok took a picture of what I have. Here they are. Im trying to get a hold of the company now and see if theyll sell me the forks or if there too much just go and gets some Itr lca's.




and this is what I thought I was getting:

 

Just get ITR LCA's. It'll be alot less hassle I think than trying to swap out the 2 rear coilovers w/ a different kind, especially considering it was an eBay transaction.

 

ITR LCA's go for less than a hundred bucks all day long and are a bit stronger than the non-ITR ones.

And Integra's have shocks, not struts.

 

thanks for all the advice. I will be purchasing them soon. Also, can I reuse my bolts from my stock rear lca setup on the itr lca's? Basically Im asking if the bolt that holds the shock in place is reusable?

 

Probably not, I'm guessing the ITR LCA bolts are longer, could be wrong, though.

I would probably just buy those new from a dealer or online parts retailer.

 

any links to an online store?

 

acuraautomotiveparts.org

acuraparts247.com

 

search the forum.. there's always somebody selling used itr lca's..

 

Thanks again guys, I found the bolt I need, Its an expensive one though racking in all the way to $0.94. But I need 2 so thats really gonna break the wallet. Thanks again though. I appreciate the help.

dude thats nothing. my dealership charges $5 for a washer.. but anyway, next time read carefully when you buy on ebay. stock photos dont show the exact item. check the part #'s, ask the seller, etc.
