i know the sway bars and wheels are diffrent. How about the brakes springs and shocks?

What are the engine diffrences? do we have the same cams and pistons?
What about intake header exhaust?

Transmission?

I've searched but could not find all the answers

 

spring rates are 0.1 kg higher on front and rear.

4-1 header, more aggressive intake cam, different pistons

transmission has 4.785 final drive and GS-R gears for 4th and 5th

 

awesome thanks

 

and in the rear the jdm cars have tubular links, not the gay cast ones we get.

Do you mean the UCAs in the rear? The ones we get are stamped steel. But yeah, the JDM ones are better.

 

Anyone know any place that can get the JDM UCAs? I've always been curious about those.

 

yeah does anyone know where to get the upper control arms?

 

the jdm ( 96 & 98 spec) front springs are shorter than their us counterparts

i'm also very curious about the difference does anyone have these, or know where to get them?

 

i have both of the USDM upper control arm and the JDM upper control arms...i like using the jdm ones better...it basically looks like camber kits WITHOUT the adjustable camber feature...hope that makes sense...if i can borrow a digital camera, i can try and take a picture of them...

Late the party as usual.... I got mine from A&J Racing years ago.... There's no pic for the time being but they should have them in stock still.

And whats the benefit/difference on them? Whyd they switch?

 

Apparently it made the tail end a little less twitchy. I noticed this myself....

Changing it will give the car a "milder ride and easier handling"

Do you have proof of this? I've never heard this before, and it doesn't seem to be true in my experience.

Also, I've noticed the rear of the car does not gain camber nearly as much when lowered with the 98 spec rear upper control arms.

i have a set for sale.

 

these are usdm itr springs on the left, jdm itr springs on the right, you be the judge if the front springs are the same

the jdm springs seem to have one less coil. btw the right spring is from a 96 spec, while the left is from a 98 spec, hence the difference in height

 

Interesting.

I'll check the part numbers the next time I stop by Honda Verno.
