I'm not talking about just the lug-conversion..
I came across a 92 hatch for sale with a B18c1 and 98 ITR suspension.

How would i be able to tell that its a genuine ITR suspension on it... and is that modification really worth the time and money? I figured just going aftermarkert is the best way to go instead of doing a suspesion "swap"

Give me some insight, i'm relatively new to the honda realm

I have already performed a search prior to the post, its a fairly specific question. I don't hear many stories about suspension swaps. Thanks anyways

It almost has to be genuine. Because there is no other way to put 5 lug on a honda that i know of. The difference in the ITR suspension and say GSR is 5 lug pattern and the ITR has different lower control arm. Also the spring and shock combo makes the car set about an inch lower to the ground. Ask the person selling the car if he also swapped over the ITR sway bars. Other then that i think everything else is the same.

i've seen people use prelude 5 lug. changes the offset i believe

Thanks everybody!!!
No i'm not clint hehe, why would Mr. 300rwhp RX-7 clint be on the honda-tech board???

My most suspicious property of the pictures of the car i saw was that it was lower than stock... but you saying the ITR suspension lowers it an inch satisfies why its lower. Anybody know how well this setup handles on the EG hatches? The main reason i like the ITR suspension on the EG is the front and rear disc brakes. Quick question, does it come with ABS?

jonas

you said it was just his suspension, not the lug conversion correct? if thats the case, you would not get the ITR front and rear disc brakes, thats apart of the 5 lug. basically he's just using the lca/shock/spring/sway bars from the ITR at MOST. if its lowered, he might not be using the ITR springs.

I'll post a pic on here later of the car, i'm not on the computer with the pic.
From the pics i can tell that it has the 5-lug conversion (along with the 98 ITR wheels) and front and rear disc brakes, and its not EXTREMELY lowered, so an inch seems right. What i was mainly worried about is that it looked lower than stock, but not i'm not so worried about getting jipped, it seems legit.

jonas

oh, so it does come with the 5 lug. LOL i got confused from your first post.

Looose_R

did a search my ***, i jsut posted the pics of my conversion yesterday afternoon

HighTachB18

Man i just feel so welcome to the honda board, thats about my only regret upon getting a honda.. the ******** that own them. I did do a search and found nothing related to how it's: supposed to look, handle, and the complete components of the suspension. If you're bothered by the # of posts on the board, then buy an Aztek and join their message board

btw here are the pics:

Schweeeeeeeeet lookin' car!

rolow

Did the car use to have naaaaaawssss!!! It looks like the ITM was plumed
for a wet set up!


nice radiator support !

HighTachB18

Hmmmmm you're right rolow, that does look suspicious. Is it just me or is there a "spoon" badge on the back? It doesn't look like this car has gone through extreme care. The more i look at his pics, the more i want to get a 92-95 without an engine and just build one up myself... How much would thoes go for?? $500-$1,000??? Thanks rolow for pointing that out, i'm a blind monkey
