You are using the JDM type LCA so if you want to change the coilover, you must change the JDM style!

Aha, I thought those LCAs looked familiar. Yes, an ITR suspension will work on the Sol, provided you change out the rear LCAs for ITR units.

You can either leave the ITR LCAs in place and buy a new ITR suspension, or replace the rear LCAs with something like the OEM Sol LCAs and switch back to a Sol suspension. I think 92-95 Civic and Integra (non-ITR) suspensions will also work with the OEM or OEM-ish Sol LCAs (e.g. Skunk2 Sol LCAs, etc.).

Are you the original owner? If not, some previous owner may made changes you're not aware of.

I will probably just leave everything as is. and buy ITR suspension. i dont wanna change anything or keep it to a min. I just dont wanna buy 2 different types of suspensions.

na im not original owner. Car is completely stock when i bought it. No SRS system installed, but thats a different story.

Correct. The OP didn't say where he was from but, if it's a actual EG then those are correct LCA's. Same ones as on my EG6.

Yeah, you just never know what the previous owners did to the car.

I'm in the process of researching a suspension swap on my car. I have an ITR suspension currently and am probably going to switch back.

Basically depending on what you want, you might find it cheaper to buy aftermarket Sol-style LCAs and a 92-95 Civic (or similar) suspension. Sometimes the ITR/Sol/Civic are very close in price, in which case an ITR would be the cheapest route. All depends on what you want.

I have a 97 EG2, and it from the factory it came with a shock-around-LCA design instead of the ITR shock-through-LCA design.

Edit: BTW, I know mine came from the factory that way because I bought it new. Further, I found this writeup in the forum FAQ for 92-25 Civic shock installation, and the pictured rear LCA is the same as what mine came with.

Not saying your EG6 isn't stock, this guy just has an EG2, and I know what my EG2 came with...
