Default 5 lug conversion on Civic, What suspension?

Dumb question but, if I get a complete ITR 5 lug conversion for my Civic, do I get Civic springs/coilvers or Integra?

Either should work... but if you are using the ITR rear LCA you will have to use ITR shock in the rear, at least.

If I use Civic shocks and springs..etc do I have to modify anything?

Why don't you tell us what car you have (give year/model, not ej3, eg2, lmno5, etc...). It's always a good idea to do that to get accurate information about hybrid suspension...

In that case, you will have to retain your rear LCAs and 96-00 Civic style rear shocks. The ITR rear LCA is too short for your car.

You can use the ITR front LCAs and shocks, but your stock civic ones will work too.

Basically, you buy shocks or coil-overs for your Civic (not the ITR)...

You can get your shocks now without any problem later on. Just make sure to get the shocks for a 92-95 Civic. Then when you get the 5-lug setup, make sure to keep your stock rear LCAs. Everything will still fit/work perfectly, and you can sell off the ITR LCAs to recoupe some of the money.
