Default -~-~-~- Anyone ever use ITR H&R sports on a LS/GSR -~-~-~-~-

I just picked up a set of H&R sports for an ITR. It's stated to drop the car 1.5'' in the front and 1.3'' in the rear, but seeing how the ITR sits lower than a normal integra, anyone know how much it will drop my car? These will be paired up with koni yellows (not the sp3) if that makes a difference.

Normal Integra H&R Sport springs lower more than that, so it will probably be about the same.

Thanks patrick, I always see your responses on threads

Well normal H&R sports lower about 1.7'' in the front and 1.5'' in the back but how much lower does an ITR sit than a normal integra? I really dont wanna be as low as I am now with my neuspeed race.

no, it was that low from day one.

I got rid of the H&R's and went with Koni Ground Control sleeves w/ 380f/450r rates. Then later I sold those and got a set of ITR springs. I set the Koni spring perches to the lowest setting and put the GS-R springs in front and the ITR rear springs in back to even out the ride height. I like it, not too harsh, still got the Koni adjustability. Although sometimes I wish it were as low as it was on GC's.

that's why I got rid of them, because the spring rates were not high enough to keep the suspension off the bumpstops.

Patrick,

Kinda off topic, but did you have your rears lowered on the lowest spring perches on your Koni Yellow's? I have the equivalent Neuspeed Sports with Koni Yellow's on my Civic (fronts on the highest perch, rears on the middle perch - so factory settings), but the rears are sitting about half an inch to an inch higher than the fronts. It looks as though both your fronts and rears are at the same height. And yeah, my fronts are dropped lower than what they claim on their website.

Yep, had the same issue when I first installed my H&R Sports. So I kept the front perch on the top slot and I moved the rear perches to the lowest slot to help even it out.

It's really dumb for lowering springs to lower less in back than in front, because the car sits higher in back to begin with
