ITR Springs in a 5th Gen.
I've been mulling over what springs to get for a month now. I plan on running Koni Yellows with them on my 5th Gen CX. Right now it's pretty stock (brake swap coming shortly thereafter), but I plan on throwing in a B18C this summer.
Doing some research on spring rates (primarily http://php.indiana.edu/~bchang/Pics/...ate_Table.html) I think I like the rates on the H&R Sport ITR (DC2R) springs.
So, my question is this. Ride height aside (performance is my primary concern, as long as it doesn't look TOO sloped one way or the other once the engine gets in), are ITR springs the same size as Teg/Civic springs?
I did a search and saw people mentioning that a GSR with ITR springs would look like a stock ITR. Can I construe from this that'll ITR springs are bolt-on into a 5th gen Civic?
Thanks,
Al

Re: ITR Springs in a 5th Gen. (project_mercy)
I'm running ITR springs on my GSR right now and plan to match them up with Neuspeed Konis soon. The ITR springs lowered my car more than the .5-.75", it's more like 1". Performance wise, I like the feel of these springs. Once I get the Konis I plan to set them on the lower spring perch settings to lower it just a little more. Same should apply to your 5th gen although the drop may be slightly different(less I think because of the lighter CX).
I should be getting a 94 CX soon too, although I won't have $$$ to modify it for a few months, but I'd like to put the same suspension combo on it.
