Default What Shocks for ITR?

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.

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.

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).

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...
