Actually I did just wake up....

If you bought ITR coilovers, then you need ITR lcas, otherwise, they make them for your hatch, so you shouldlnt need them. Unless you ordered the wrong ones, lol

yes you will. you need the JDM ITR rear lower control arms. they are 110.00 for a pair from inlinefour.com

Yes, you need to run the ITR LCA's. I am currently running the Flex's on my hatch and I got the LCA's from inlinefour for $110. Plus they were brand new in Honda bags.

Do all TEIN Flex coilovers require the ITR LCA??? Cuz I'm debating whether to order the SS or the FLEX right now, I know I will order the GSR rates for my 92 hatch but I need to know about the LCA...thanks..

BTW: how do you guys like the FLEX?? are they aluminum??

all japanese coilovers (IE tein, zeal) require the ITR LCA's....as it says in the description on inlinefour...so whether you get flex or SS or HA or whatever you need the ITR LCA's

All of the Flex's require the ITR LCA's. The SS's and the Basic Dampeners are compatible with the factory lca's on your vehicle. As for the Flex's, I am extremely happy with my setup. I believe they are aluminum bodied, but also have a rust preventative coating that covers the threading.

What is better to go wtih, the SS with its 8k/6k rates or the FLEX with its 9k/4k rates?

Flex does need the ITR LCA and the SS you can use the SRR.....

I have the ss with srr rear lca's. Contact us if your in need of any srr parts.
I also thought that every USDM tein coilovers were for use with the STOCK usdm rear control arms, But I could be wrong.
