for a gsr.

Since Type R is lower than the GSR from the factory, aftermarket springs advertising say a 1" drop on a Type R with lower your GSR more than 1". I believe the ITR is .5" lower so the Type R spring on the GSR will lower you 1.5" total. The spring rate will now be too soft for this ride height.

I went through this with my H&R Sport springs
