hatch-R as in eg/ek with b18cR/5/6/etc, itr tranny, 5 lug or decent 'itr' equivalent braking....
how do u like both---which do you like better for tracking/rr'ing/dragstrip?
which feels safer/more stable @ high speeds.
opinions?

I used to have both. It was a 95 Si with an ITR motor/trans. That car was a lot of fun and was a sleeper. I could drive/park it anywhere without worring about theives or damage. It could swallow furniture, tools, etc w/o any problems at all. The ITR is better because the chassis is clearly more stiff and well balanced. My Civic had stock suspension for a long time but I later installed an ITR susp. It thought that would help a lot but the chassis still was not as crisp. The Civic was a bore in the auto-x and track because of the stock susp. The ITR is a blast on the track but is a bit twitchy in quick transitions. The ITR is clearly more stable on the straights. The motor/trans/susp/brakes aren't the only things that make an R an R. It is the thicker stampings and braces too. I don't know how it is on the dragstrip though and I doubt I ever will. I recently sold my Civic to a friend. The civic was clearly the better daily driver though.

you say that the civic suspension/chassis was less stiff?
did you just install itr shocks/springs?

The chassis is less stiff. This was only with the GS-R strut bar and lower subframe brace though. It may stiffen up a bit with a rear upper/lower bar but there are still other things that make the R stiffer (floor brace, thicker wheel housings, etc). You can easily make a Civic stiffer than an R with a cage but that would make it lose its streetability.

I also had a 95 si hatchback with a 97 jdm type r motor. It was definitely a QUICK little car, but I only had kyb agx's and ground control sleeves at the time, so it did not handle well at all. I also have a 98 itr and it is just an all around SOLID car, in my mind there was no comparison between the two cars, the itr is just that much better....But in a straight line the little civic is really a blast !

You should shange your question to "what have you drove that you liked better?"
I figure more people will answer.
I have drove both.
Although the hatch was quicker in accel the Integra chassis felt better and more stable/better handling.
I also like an integras cockpit better than a civics
