Default ITR Spring SPecs

Sorry to bug you I have a 98 LS I wanna drop it but I dont wanna scrape all over and I beleive in honda engineers ability to decide on a good ride height so I wanna go with the ITR ride height. HOw much drop is it compared to the GSR/LS ?

I hear the LCA is also different would it be woth upgrading or should I just put that money in a suspension techniques swaybar kit?
thanks
your help is greatly appriciated
PS here is my baby

Its 15mm lower, and the LCA being different pertains to the shock, the rear shock lower mounting point is different, but if you're going to go with ITR suspension I suggest getting the springs and shocks together (both OE ITR), in which case you'll need ITR rear LCAs.

GSR ground clearance is 6.9 inch

just drop it like its HOt man..don't bother with the ITR stock height... you won't be able to tell the difference....also, if u want to get the exact tir height, you will probably have to get coil-overs adjustable shocks..

Did you honestly think that metric converts to us standards perfectly?

15 mm = 1 inch?

right...

I got it from the Acura Integra Type R Technical Information Guide, which was like the dealer brochure for the ITRs, the 1997 version which has every single little change listed in there.

Dont bother with itr suspension. The handling is really good, but you will be disappointed with the drop. It barely lowers it, and it wont make your car look any nicer. Just get some neuspeed sports or H&R's. They have an okay drop, not too low and not too high.
