Default 5 lug type r suspension into my 97 hatch

I have the whole 5 lug suspension off of a type r. Rear trailing arms, control arms, everything.
some people say it will bolt right up, others say that it wont.
Can someone who has it done tell me how to go about putting this suspension on. also can i use my stock civic shocks and springs or do I have to use the type r shocks and springs?

just bolt up the whole trailing arms.. and everything.

i've never heard of anyone not being able to use thier civic springs/shocks. it should work.


if you have it all.. just get started and see what happens.


- did u get the 99si proportioning valve?

Everything bolts up. I would recommend using your factory rear LCA's, in which, you can use the suspension you already have. If you choose to get CTR rear LCA's, then you'll need ITR or CTR rear shocks.

I would not recommend using ITR rear LCA's since camber would be an issue.

Other than that, bolt up, bleed brakes and go.

Are the ITR LCA's longer or shorter than the civic LCAs?
