What is the best way to tell if shock and springs are really ITR?

hmm tough question...my best guess would be to email pictures or descriptions to leo at passwordjdm.com, they have experience with the various jdm parts. some guys in the ITR forum may be able to point out some distinguishing characteristics...

 

Well ITR use different lcas than GSR. You can look at the end of the shock to see if its a ball joint or a fork. The ITR lca has a hole where the ball joint part of the shock fits in whereas the GSR has a fork that clamps over the GSR lca. I have pics of ITR shocks I sold a while ago if you want.

Yeah, the rears are OK. They have the eye hole where they fit to the ITR LCA. They also have the ITR steel/rubber sandwich washers where the top end of the shock rod bolts down.
The fronts are the ones I'm not sure about. They seem to have the conventional rubber washers like my GSR.
Any code with the colors on the springs?
