ITR LOWER CONTROL ARMS
OK I'm not sure if this a rookie question but here goes. I know the rear lower control arms differ from gsr to type r's. My question is are there companies out there that make aftermarket rear lower control armsfor the ITR? I've found place's that make them for integra's but only avaliable for gsr, ls, etc. Any info would help thank you.

Re: (BlueR)
I've been meaning to ask about this, I did a quick search, but it's not what I was looking for. Now we all know the RLCA of the ITR is different compared to the regular DC2. My question is, what benefit does the ITR RLCA give over the regular LCA found on the DC2?

Its from a type r so that adds atleast 100% value over non itr's.

I've always wondered this myself, haven't come across an answer.

The reason most people swap from gsr to itr is because most suspentions are designed for the itr lca. I run tein RE circuit master coilovers and they will only bolt up to the ITR LCA. I got brand new usdm oem ones for $50 if i remember correctly.

Hm, this thread is old... I wasn't asking about the reasoning why people use it. I'm asking curious about the reason why Honda decided to change it for the ITR.

FYI the ITR rear Lca's are are shared by the usdm 1988 civic/crx's and the jdm EG6's as well...

The RLCA's for the Type-R are designed to add a little negative camber to the rear suspension geometry.
I did the ITR swap on my GSR and measured the two. The lower upright mounting point is 0.175 inches further out than the GSR and is 0.940 inches lower. You do the math to calculate delta camber, it's 1am, I'm too tired.
I'm guessing that the revised geometry also makes the rear tires toe-in a little for stability.

I haven't personally measured, but the reason Honda stopped using the 88/ITR style in the US was because people were finding it too easy to loop their cars. Hence, from 89-on Honda gave the US market the other style, while the JDM cars retained the 88/ITR style.
My understanding was that the 89-up style added more negative camber and made the car safer to drive.
When the ITR was introduced, it was an enthusiast car so the 88 style was retained for the US market.
