Im converting my gsr to a five lug type r suspension. I was wondering would my shocks from my gsr suspension fit in the type r one?

As long as you don't use the ITR rear LCA's then yes.

yes, it all depends on what rear LCA you use. IE, gsr shocks-gsr LCA's, type r shocks-type r LCA's

I dont think so.. i belive the only car that will take parts from a dc2 that are interchangable is the EG civic... however the EK may take SOME parts not sure about the dc shocks or anything at all...

While I do agree that 5 lug is a waste of money I also think that your comment is very retarted and not contributing to anything but your post count.

Anyway, the guy's question has been answered and thats all there is to it.

this may have been asked before, but I'm going to ask this again. Why all the haterade??? Just because someone wants to buy a part they wished all integras came with so that they can make their car look a little nicer doesn't automatically MEAN they want their car to be as close to a type R as possible ( There's too many things to do to it to have it even remotely resemble a type r ). While it may be true in some cases for DC Integras and some civics, explain then why there are DA owners have converted to 5 lug for the added appeal? We all know DA's NEVER had the Type R model in their line up.....so are you going to label them ricer's too that want their DA to be Type Rs?

I honestly think we somehow lost track of the actual definition of a ricer. Instead, out of jealousy, spite, hatred, or just pure ignorance ( in its many shapes and forms ), people use the term ricer loosely to excuse their own beligerent feelings towards others trying to reach a goal they set for their cars in terms of aesthetics. Having a 5 lug conversion on a teg is not rice by any means. How? Ok...let's take a look at it.... does it come with blinking LED lights? No. Are the lugs wrapped in LED lights to give out a "christmas tree" effect? Unless Honda did something I'm not aware of....no. Are they made by APC? HELL NO. While having 5 lugs don't make you go any faster, does it hinder the performance of the car? No. That weight difference of ONE FRIGGIN LUG IS NOT GOING TO BE DETRIMENTAL TO YOUR CAR. In fact, where I was from, the term ricer was coined for any friggin idiot that modded their car up with nothing BUT aesthetics and claimed they have.....oh lets say 500 whp and ran 12's at the track *rolls eyes*.....or rather they talked out of their *** about their car when it clearly has nothing on there that will back up their claims to glory. For example....those wonderful stickers down the side of the fender or door you see from time to time on vehicles...that actually do NOT have any parts associated with the names on there. In short....someone who blatantly lies about their car for attention purposes and either thinks their fast ( when they're slower than a blimp of a fat man running uphill to catch a trolley ), or pretends to be fast. Now...I don't know if its the same for anyone else. But that's how I came to know the term "ricer".

Reality check here, its a cosmetic upgrade ( due to the types of wheels people get with it ), not a performance mod. Calling someone a ricer just because they want the 5 lug conversion is purely ignorant. Sorry if my opinion offends anyone, but I call it as I see it. Now.....on the flip side....if they got the 5 lug conversion only to put on spinners.......ok.........I can see your point in calling someone a ricer. That would be a newly coined definition though....for a ricer.

so what your saying is everybody with an oem integra lip kit, jdm integra front end, spoon wheels, mugen anything, recaro or bride seats, authentic wheels(meaning not rota) and spoon resivor coers, anybody that has any of those items is a ricer?

why buy spoon or mugen wheels when you can buy rotas for 1/3rd the cost, why buy a different integra front end? 5lug brakes offer more performance than any of the items i listed and on top of that they look great


SO, the person is only a worthless ricer if he steals an itr for the 5lug conversion, conversation settled

For one, the ITR brakes have a much better feel to them, on the street and track. They hold more heat which is obviously useful on the track and you can drive for longer distances with one broken lug

I would love to have 5 lug brakes on my GS-R, just not enough to spend the money required to have them.

I also have ITR springs on my GS-R, I must be a ricer too right?

I put my 5 lug setup on my last hatchback simply because the wheel bearings were shot and I was too broke to go buy new ones. I had the 5 lug laying around so on it went.

Yes but it wouldn't work for me. I'm too lazy to swap out rotors until the last possible moment.. and getting those rotors from autozone is a we bitmore difficult.

It also doesn't solve the broken lug issue that I tend to experience lately.

Does your autozone redrill them for you?
