Hm, I'd think that it could be done - I'd always assumed that the R had the same chassis as other Integras...

The rear shocks and lower control arms on ITR's are different, so are all the bushings. To get ITR shocks to fit, you would need ITR LCA's. They are ~$100 for a pair.

Front sway bar is the same (at least GSR/ITR, LS may be different). Rear swaybar on ITR is 22mm while GSR is 13mm. To get a ITR rear swaybar to fit, you'll need a reinforcement bracket (or washers) info can be found here

I have the 22mm rear swaybars
So your saying i just need the ITR LCA for typeR suspension to fit.

*Is this a simple unbolt and bolt replacement*
(as in no cutting or major modifying?)

Yeah, all you need is the ITR LCA's, they bolt right in. One thing I don't know is if the new LCA's already come with the bushings in them or if you need to purchase them separately.
