ok well here's the situation, a friend and i are going to pick your part next weekend and he wants to pick up a gsr rear disc brake conversion for his ek. other then the vtec emblem, what is another way we can tell the teggy is a gsr and not an ls? i read somewhere that its labeled on the sticker on the door jam. correct?

tried searching but this damn search engine blows.

 

b18c1 on the engine.

 

I found the VINs for ya then...:

If you unsure on anything about your Integra, chances are you can find out for sure from your Vehicle Identification Number. This guide is valid only for the USA market 3rd generation Integras, other markets and generations may differ.

vin Ex:JH4DC2XXXXXXXXXXX

DC2= GSR (and type-r)
DC4= RS,LS,GS

 

All non-ITR rear disk brakes are the same, 10.2". There is no advantage of picking up GSR rear brakes over LS brakes.

 

thanks, i was wondering about this myself.

 

ditto.

You can go through all the VIN codes and whatnot - it doesn't matter. The brakes are the same between RS, GS, LS, GSR.

Except the RS doesn't have ABS - but that doesn't really concern you. I just put that out there cuz someone would nail me for not pointing it out.

 

haha yup. someone is always lookin to correct someones post

 

i was goin to post the same thing but its very common for people to think that the gsr has better everything when in reality the only difference is the engine and trans

 

I think the rear sway bar is 1mm bigger.
And the gauge cluster has a different red line.
And it came with the blades.
And it has the vtec emblem thing on the back.

 

And the GSR (of some years) is the only Integra without a brake light in the back window (only a spoiler light).

 

Not all gsr integras came with blades. Others came with Fat 5's... lol

 

it won't just have the vtec emblem, but it'l say DOHC vtec!
