Default ITR spring ?

I did a quick search, but didn't find what I was looking for, and I am assuming that this is a pretty easy/basic question for most of you, so I thought I would just post it up.

Anyways, how easy is it to put ITR springs/struts on a 99 GS? Are there any special/wierd things that need to be done, or is it pretty straight forward? This would give between a .5 and .75 drop, correct? And the ride would be pretty similar to stock (slightly stiffer)?

Thanks guys.

I have a sedan by the way.........don't think that matters, but I wanted to mention it just in case.

Heard of the term plug and play?

Basically an easy swap.

Thanks, that is what I was hoping (and thought), but I didn't want to start the swap only to realize that they didn't fit.

EDIT: Springs will fit no problem, but you need ITR LCA's in the rear if you want to use the ITR struts (fronts do fit without ITR LCA's).

You can swap ITR springs on LS shocks but the ride will be horrible after a short while. There's a reason why Honda changed the valving and stroke length of the ITR shocks, and it wasn't just to make the ride stiffer.

No real drop in the GSR spring..........I understand that the ITR's don't drop it much either, but they do drop it more than GSR's would. IMHO GSR springs are not worth the effort.......I should just get H&R OE's or a Pro-Kit. I just saw a pretty good deal on the ITR setup and wanted to see how easily I could make it work - seems that it isn't worth my trouble. Thanks for the input guys!
