When buying ITR LCAs, Shocks, and Springs, how can you tell (externally) that they are ITR pieces and not GSR stuff?

I'm going to buy JDM ITR LCAs, shocks, and springs from some guy and I just wanted to know how can I tell, by looking at them, that they're the real thing and not just GSR or regular Civic parts?

Thanks in advance.

Easy.

ITR Shocks have a small white "R" stamped on it. Plus the shock body is bigger in diameter compared to the GSR/civic ones, not to mention the lower mounting point in the rear has a ball joint rather than a fork that goes over the LCA.

ITR rear LCA is stamped metal, not a cast piece.

ITR springs are shorter than GSR springs

Here's a pic of the rear:
