I've swapped ITR LCA's and i'm running Mugen Dampers on my hatch, but to be completely honest you can get similar performance and height adjustability with Koni Yellows and Ground Controls for a fraction of the cost.

For me:

Koni & GC (400f/250r) w/ 14mm (integra) rear sway. All shocks set 1 full turn from soft makes the car VERY fun on the street. Cars lowered 2.5", and I drive on 205/40/16s (32 psi). I also use GC upper hats in the front to add a little bit of suspension travel (.75"). Car will gently over steer w/o any problem.

If you go the Koni/GC route, make sure to buy Koni specific Ground Control Sleeves (called "Baby Tubes"). Also, you can order ANY spring rate you want.
