Default noob: D2 Coiloves, Do i need EG6/ITR LCA's??

Hey guys im pretty much a suspension noob, and ive tried to search but i cant find what im looking for.

Well anywaiz im looking to upgrade my lowered spring and stock shock combo to something with more stiffness as im wanting to track my car (Honda EG Hatch Civic).

My question is, if i buy D2 coilovers.. do i need the EG6/ITR rear LCA's?? to make it fit? or would i need to buy the aftermarket LCA's that D2 sells? or can it just fit on using my stock LCA's?

For any swaybar, all you need is an LCA with the hole for a swaybar. There are base-model Integra LCAs that have that (all of the DCs, in fact), and some Civic ones (Si I think?). The only real difference between an ITR LCA and any of the other ones is that the shock slips into a "cup" in the LCA for the ITR version, and slips OVER the bushing for the non-ITR ones.

thanks for that buddy, i guess i was confused, since one of my friend kept telling me to get EG6/ITR LCA's so i can use the ITR rear sway bar.

Which i now know is not true

Cheers
