Default I NEED ITR COILOVER BASE, my current fork style wont work.

hey everyone, this wednesday i will be a proud new owner of a 98' CW itr.
it has a bilstein/ GC combo right now but i love my APEX N1's that are currently on my civic.
my problem (obviously) is the fork style base wont fit my LCA's. does anyone have an extra set of blown coilovers or ANYTHING that i can purchase from you to resolve this problem?

i have called APEX and they said they do not sell the piece seperately.

Just buy some 94-01 Integra rear LCAs if you really wanna use your old coilovers that bad.

That's about your only solution.

it has been considered, but, aren't the ITR's superior in design?

Well, yes...but what are you doing where you'd really notice?

And have you driven the GC/Bilstein combo? That's actually not a bad setup.

yes, to some extent, but the non-R ones aren't in anyway bad.

somewhat beefier and mounts a central bushing on the bottom of the shock within the contral arm itself.

shouldn't. when I went from normal to ITR control arms I used the same endlinks and all I had to do was take out one LCA and put the other in. The only thing thats at all an annoyance is that the ABS line won't form quite to the LCA like it did, but thats no big deal.
