Default how can I tell if they are real ITR shocks springs.

Are there any obvious things to look for to make sure that the shocks/springs combo are indeed from an ITR?
TIA

for one thing, for the rear shocks where it connects to the LCA are not a "fork" like it is on a regular integra shock.. as for the springs themselves i heard they have a different color "paint" on them.. you know, those little drips about 1/4" wide on the sides of the spring.. i'm not 100% sure about that though

okay, here is a pic of what I found on ebay. What do you mean by "not a fork". The pics above looks like a fork to me. Thanks again.

I wouldn't bid on that junk.

Mismatched.

in that ebay ad, look at the first pic.. the two shocks on the left are the fronts.. those have a fork that attaches to the bottom.. i was referring to the two shocks on the right.. the ones with the bolts going through the bottom of them.. those are like regular integra shocks.. ITR shocks look more like.. well look at the link
http://www.koni-na.com/konisport.html

pic above where it says "Adjustment at the turn of a hand"..

for the rears, that's the only obvious thing i know of to distinguish between ITR shocks and normal shocks.. then again the rear shocks from the CRX mounts to the LCA the same way the ITR shocks do too..

just my opinion, but getting a set of OE sport springs and some decent shocks would be less worrisome than buying a set of ITR springs/shocks/rear LCAs used.. you could probably use OE sport springs with stock shocks no problem too

so are you saying that those (the rears at least) are not real ITR shocks?
THanks again.
