i've look on the faq thread and i did some research but i guess my question wasn't really answered.
last nite i just got a free set of 97 ITR r/lca. i was wondering if i put the ITR r/lca on my 90 rex and buy a 97 ITR full coilover would they fit on mt crx front forks or would i have to upgrade them. and what would the right forks to upgrade to.
i did see you could use the eg/da front forks but the question/answer were alittle blurr.
also i was going to orginal buy a set of PIC Performance coilovers, but they don't sell ITR set. so my next choice are the OMNI power coilover cause they have 12kg/f & 10kg/R and yes i do know i should go w/ the Koni/CG combo, but i perfer a full coilover set. so please post other companies that sell ITR coilover.
thank you

I believe that the the itr rear arms are the same as the 88 crx arms. I have a 88 crx si and it uses the stamped box type rear arms. Most jdm ef coilovers fit them being that all EF jdm civics have the same rear lca's as type r integras.

thanks import2nr88 for the info, but i'll something alittle better i'll post some pics.
ok i took some pics today well theres good news the Si r/lca and the ITR r/lca are the same in all way the height of the shock bolt. from the center of the frame bolt to the center of the trail arm bolt it measures 34cm. the width of were they mount are the same thickness. where the sway bar eye is the same height and size. now this is where it's it different. where you bolt up the shock the on the ITR lca it sits even w/the the frame bolt and the trailarm bolt which is about 1" higher than the Si lca. the Si lca sit lower. i posted 2 pics to show the measure of the lca's. and if you look at the pic you can see how higher.lower the shock bolt sits.
as you can see the on ITR lca the shock bolt is even w/the other two bolts.

now on the Si lca you can see that the shock bolts sit lower.
now if i buy ITR coilover all i have to do is adjust the height in the rear. now all i need to find out what front shock forks i would need to run.

I'm guessing any dc front shock fork should work, they are the same length from where the shock rests to the center of the bolt hole. The dc arm has a bit more bend to one of the legs but where it mounts to the lca it's the same as well. I believe the only differeces between forks are that ef/da arms have a smaller bore and eg/ek/dc forks have a slightly larger hole bored for the shock to slide into.

to confirm your answer, the EG/DC front forks is all you need. yes, that link is in the FAQ... always has been.
also, as for the difference in the shock bolt between the ITR/88 arms and the "normal" arms, it doesnt matter that its a bit lower. whats important is the inner and outer bushing difference is the same. AND, the shock bolt actually lines up with the angle of the shock to the arm. so the ITR/88 shock with the eyebolt style at the bottom of it is in the exact same position as the other fork style difference.
long story short, theres no difference in the two rear control arms.
