Default Difference between DC4 and DC2 chassis's?

Both bodystyles look the same to me.

..What actually does the entire chassis consist of? Does one have a longer wheelbase or width or something? Can't be sunroofs.. because GSR's have sunroofs. Man, it's just bugging me. I tried searching for "DC2 DC4" & "chassis differences" unsuccessfully.

Well I know of one minor difference. The GSR comes with the stock front upper strut bar and it mounts on the strut towers with these 2 little bolts that stick out of them on each end. Those do not exist in the DC4, only on the DC2. I dont know of any other differences myself.

DC2 is a 3rd generation GSR.
DC4 is a 3rd generation LS, SE, etc.

Maybe...

DC2 is the 3rd generation Integra coupe with a B18C. A DC4 is when it's equipped with a B18B. Look at your VIN numbers. A 4 door chassis is a DB.

The DC2 has a slightly larger rear antiroll bar (14mm vs 13mm IIRC)

Heeee's right! The SE is a DC4, but has the GSR suspension, so you can't really tell by suspension. It's mainly the engine difference.

you are right--looks like you won't have to change the screen name. but db is not only specified for the 4 doors. gotta be more specific and state that the db7 and db8 are the 4 doors; a db2 is a g2 gsr.

I knew the DB8 was a GSR, but wasn't sure about the nonvtec model. Interesting the g2 GSR is a DB2. I didn't know that. Thanks!

I thought a DC2 was a 2dr, and a DC4 was a 4dr.


Guess that's not right.

Yeah, that's not right.

I have a DC4 chassis code. I have a 2dr LS. I don't see how they can change the whole chassis codes on mere "bolt on" bars. The GSR has a different strut tower bar than the R; should they be changed? ..and the ITR sway bar is thicker too, right? (22mm vs. 20mm?)
Bah. There's gotta be another difference!

whoa, so you're saying the chassis codes were changed just because of the motors?

Changing the motors is a huge thing. Especially if you look at the differences between the b18b, b18c1 and b18c5. The ITR's chassis code isn't all that different from a GSR, just DC2 vs. DC2R

where on earth is a dc1 a thing? that's wrong anyways. dc2=itr/gsr... nuff ****** said. once you put a turbo k in it, it becomes rather pointless.

DC4 is a DC4 because it's VIN number has "DC4" in it, same with the DC2.
