Default ITR suspension

Hi guys, wondering if u could help me out.

i'm thinking about raising my car back to "stock" spec(popo said my car was 2cm's too low), and seriously considering putting on stock ITR springs/shocks.

i have already purchased the rear ITR 22mm swaybar and a set JDM ITR LCA's.

do i just need to change the springs/shocks and everything will fit the the lca's? or do i need stuff like the upper pillow mount, etc?

i'm currently only running h&r sports, which aren't really that low, but the cop was being a dick and measured my car at an angle... (heck, it took me over 10 mins to convince him my ITR muffler was stock)

any help will greatly be appreciated. altho i'm looking for a budget approach


ps. anyone wanna sell me their stock ITR parts?

You just need ITR springs/shocks and rear LCAs.

Why would the cop pull you over for just a 2cm drop? did you **** the cops off or was it some kind of inspection?

And as for the car did he measure it properly measured? where did he measure it from? did you have a lot of weight in the car? (if you did then state that to the officer)

Other then that good luck with this stupid ticket.

I think he meant 2 cm lower than accepted. So overall, his drop is over 2 cm.

yep, AJ is in richmond

they're pulling ppl over for cars that don't look like they conform to the MVA (motor vehicle act)

they were basically pulling ppl over who had an exhaust or even clear corners

i got flagged cuz the amber bulbs in my sidemarker were fading so bad that it looked like they were normal white light instead of amber (which is a no no)

i didn't really get a ticket, but a warning. he basically said "if i catch u again, i'm gonna give u a ticket)

as for the measurement of my ride height, they measure it from the ground to the headlight because they have to have a minimum amount of clearance, such as 56 CMs or something. i was arguing that the parking lot, yes parking lot, where i got pulled over into, was not flat and that the nose of my car was lower than usual. i'm sure i could've started arguing about heavier load than suual, or even tire pressure, but he just gave me a warning this time...

heck, the only way i convinced him that my itr muffler was stock was for him to go underneath my car and look inside the muffler to see that the baffles were still there.

to him, the stock ITR tip was "huge" for my car...

oh yeah, i guess this is their way to stop "street racing".

when they (2 asian cops) were looking over my car, they had another integra pulled over that had n1 style exhaust and was way lower than my car. i talked to the occupants of this car and they received a $86 ticket for having a "loud" exhaust and a verbal warning for the car being too low.

i asked one of the cops and said, "specializing in integra's today?"

he replied, "no, i pulled over a prelude, a porsche, some BMWs.."

it's actually funny, cuz i kept on hearing them shout, "hey, pull that guy over, he's got clear corners" as cars started driving by them...lol

I currently run ITR shox and springs in the front and ITR shox in the rear. In addition, I stayed with the GSR LCA's because at the time, I didn't want to get out of spec with my AutoX class. I run Koni Yellow shox in the rear. I did not do the installation so I don't think I can really help

-aoib0t, who can't help.

that's cool, i'm gonna do a the auto-x one day, and would running stock itr springs/shocks/lca/swaybar not be considered as stock? i guess it's all an honour system, rite?
