Default Strut Difference Between ITR and non ITR Integra

I'm looking to buy a set of struts for my JDM ITR and in my searches, they say that the strut is different between a (RS,LS,GSR) and an ITR. Am I mistaken or is that actually the case? I'm not going to lower the car, I just want some KYB AGX for example but I don't want to buy the wrong part. Anybody have input on this?

Difference over the GS-R:



..and the springs lower the car by 15mm (.59 inches)

IIRC, the rear struts are different between the R and non-R, they're not interchangeable.

Thanks. I wanted to be sure before I went ahead and ordered some.

Corrrect. ITR rear struts mount in between the rear LCA. Regular integra struts mount "around" the rear LCA. if you get ITR rear LCA's you can use ITR rear shocks.
