I am about the get a set of ITR shocks/springs and I just have a couple concerns wishing somebody can explain to me before I drop them in my civic.
1. I researched that putting ITR shocks/springs on EG Civic will make it ride like a CRV (won't lower or even higher) because Civics weighs lighter? I think ITR weighs around 2500~2600 lbs and my EX sedan weighs around 2500 lbs so my car will be okay and ride lower, right?

2. ITR suspension will yield a night and day difference comparing to stocks civic suspension? Is the ITR suspension comparable to those like KYB AGX/Koni/Tein?

3. is it a good upgrade for having a tight budget or I should save more money and buy something else?

Thanks all.

 

How much are you paying for these shocks/springs? You are going to need the ITR rear LCAs to make the rear shocks work on your EG. They have a diffent lower mount that isn't compatible with your stock LCAs...

$250 for a set of 4 shocks/springs and 2 LCAs.

 

I don't know man. It seems like a decent price as long as everything is in good condition. They are still stock shocks with slightly stiffer spring rates. Performance isn't gonna be that much better. The only real advantage is the special bushings in the ITR upper shock mounts. They are metal with a rubber coating, and they are very stiff. They cost about $10 each from the dealership, and their are 8 of them total. That's $80 worth of parts right their (in new condition). I suppose you could still sell them for a decent price if you get boared with them.

Just don't expect too much out of them (their still stock parts)...

I did some research that owners of ITR suspension felt great going to track day with the suspension. I thought ITR shocks will be alot better than civic stock shocks? I don't know then, I think I should just save the money and buy better shocks then.

 

The ITR springs/shocks will lower a civic about .5-.75"
I have a set on my 4 door civic and also tried several spring/shock combinations and the ITR setup is by far the most neutral of the setups I tried. If you're not looking to "slam" your car, this is the way to go. Looks stock but a significant improvement in handling
