I'm going to get a JDM 5 Lug and I need to get new shocks since mine won't work with the ITR LCA, so I was wondering what shocks everyone was running on their ITR's. I was looking at KYB AGX adjustables, but when I look it up for Integra, they all say Excluding Type R.

Thanks for any help.

a overwhelming wealth of knowledge.....

 

Anyone got any part #'s for shocks that fit ITR 5 Lug?

What I use isn't very cose effective for a daily driver, but I'd suggest, if you don't mind, that Bilstein would be a good no brainer for a daily driver.

 

I've had good luck with Bilsteins (custom valved) on a non-ITR in the past.

Can't go wrong with Koni, although George has been known to blow them. My off-the-shelf Koni Yellows lasted 6 years and are still good.

Currently I'm running Omni Power Sport coilovers, they're cheap and effective ($600?) if you want to lower your car and/or run a stiffer spring.

With what spring rates, if you don't mind? Stock?

Yep! 50K miles.

(I mention the miles, because I put less miles on in 6 years than others.)

After buying a 5 lug conversion and ITR wheels, I'm gonna be broke. Hopefully down the road I can afford full coilovers.

Bilsteins rock! They offer a great combination by providing a relatively comfortable ride quality for the street, while they firm up with outstanding road feel when you drive hard (like on the track). I am using them on the GF's daily driver GS-R as well as my mostly-track NSX, and I love them. for Bilstein (and to George for the suggestion).

 

BILSTEIN SHOCK/STRUT - FRONT for a 2001 ACURA INTEGRA TYPE R
Unit Price: $129.99
BILSTEIN STRUT/SHOCK - REAR for a 2001 ACURA INTEGRA TYPE R
Unit Price: $109.99

Does anyone have a better price then that? Those #s are from AutoZone.

 

http://www.shox.com has decent prices for replacement shocks. If you get Bilsteins, make sure you get the "Sport" or "SP" version that is made for the ITR...

 

Thanks guys. I'll have to check into Bilsteins later on today.

 

Shox.com does not save much money over autozone
interesting...
