after putting in the front struts in the car, i immediately noticed the extra drop from the itr setup up front, however, in the rear, as you can see (even on an incline), is still elevated quite skyward, and the car has a noticeably awkward rake. is this just my imagination? the springs look just like stock itr should look, and the shocks appear the same. tell me what you think. I have been able to autox and go on some spirited drives, and the car handles superbly, but this just seems to stick out in my mind. i can still fit my whole fit in between the tire and the wheel well. my tires are dunlop fm901 205/55r15's. will post up some other detail pics in a few moments.

 

that does look kinda high.

 

holy fcukin' 4x4

 

a glance at the setup of itr lca's, etc, for verification


best shot i could get of the numbering on the shock, obviously does not match the usdm parts numbers...

 

ofcourse the front lifts a bit on the incline, but the rear seems to stay right where it is

that sucker looks like a 4 door dune buggy

 

hahaha, tell me about it. the front looks fine. the rear...not so normal...

 

dont feel bad, my EH3 looks the same way (205/50/16 on stock sussy),. Just get a good set of coilovers and set that thing right, PIC's dont seem to be that bad. Talk to Dave B about them.

 

ground clearance FTMFW!

he have a user name thats a little more specific you can set me up with?

 

now you can fly over speed bumps

 

i wonder if there is a perch height diference between the usdm and perhaps the 1st and second gen itr's in japan, or perhaps spring length difference. the older itr's are suppose to have longer stroke as compared to the newer ones. or perhaps i have it backwards. im babbling i think. those are the only variables i can think of that would cause a ride height difference.

 

whats the part number on the shocks?

 

refer to the pic above of the shock body upclose, thats about all got for ya at the moment, short of removing it from the car you can see just the trailing end of it. the numbers will not coincide with american parts numbers, im sure because i dont believe they are US units, pretty sure of it at least

 

I'm about to put JDM OEM ITR suspension on my 2000 DB7 so I'd like to know whats going on as well!

Do you think the rear height just stayed the same or did it actually go up?

Its good to know that it handles better though. I'm looking forward to that!

 

Well.. one thing is for sure, you could run a sp00m header with no issues

that is his user name

 

"Dave_B" to be exact. I think that's what he was looking for.

 

lol. ya, i did a search for dave b, and quite a few items came up, so ya, thanks for the clarification. and the drive to work/school reminded me that the car handles quite nimbly, and none too awkwardly, it handles properly, even without the itr rear sway.

 

This guy used the same OEM ITR set up. He said it lowered everything about an inch and a half.

 

wow. ya...thats..like, slammed, compared to my car

 

might b a difference between 1996 spec itr and 1998 spec itr ? i know the sway bar in the 1998 and up in japan is 23mm instead of 22.. maby there is a differrence in the shocks and springs too ?

talk about sway bar......time to get a bigger bar then 13

 

*** Ahem ***

It's "Dave_B" without the quotes for reference.

BTW, I replied to your PM. See if that answers any of your questions...

 

does anyone know if the gentleman with the silver dc2 up above has full type R suspension (ie trailing arms, upper control arms, etc.)?
