Default ITR vs CTR 5-Lug

Hey guys, I apologize beforehand for posting such a generic question, but I'm looking for a 5-Lug and I need to know if there's any difference between the ITR and CTR setup. I got an offer from someone with a CTR setup... Are the rear trailing arms different than the ITRs? What about the rotor diameters, caliper sizes, and axle sizes?

Any help would be appreciated, as the search function is down and Google isn't helping me any.

Trailing arms are different. Only 92-95 Civics share the same suspension as Integras. Rotors, calipers, axles are the same unless you get the 36mm ITR.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by madm@nkey &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">USDM ITR is exactly the same as the CTR.
The JDM ITR uses a 36mm axle where as the USDM ITR and CTR use a 32mm axle.
No difference on the trailing arms, rotors, calipers, etc.</TD></TR></TABLE>

Don't know about the 36mm axles.

If you have a 92-95 Civic use ITR. If you have 96-00 Civic use CTR. D series axles work with both. I get that question whenever someone stumbles onto my writeup.

Good info. I'd just be worried about the strength of CRV axles because I should be boosted in the near future.

Same as any other B series axle... Honda doesn't use special materials to make axles on a certain model stronger.

I have to dissagree. The trailing arms are the same. The Lca's are different. I have 01 R trailing arms on my Ek. I have also used 90 Integra DA rear trailing arms on 92-95 civic's.

Rdriver is right! I have a CTR 5 lug swap on my EG. It uses the 32mm axle and bolts right up. The front/rear LCAs were replaced since the CTR pieces did not fit.

Good to know about the trailing arms. Does anything else bolt up? I got a complete conversion from HMO that included every piece of the suspension minus the front LCA's.

I would hit it with an impact. If I didn't have air tools would try to get some needle nosed vice grips on the unthreaded part of the ball joint and try to get it started.

On the front the only difference in the ITR and CTR front suspension is the upper and lower control arms. I am not 100% sure, but I am guessing the CTR uses the wider shock forks like the 99-00 EM1 SI used in the US.

i second this guy.

the trainling arm on 94-01 integras will work on EK's, only the LCA are different.
if you are doing this swap, just use your EK LCA in your DC TA

Right. Also, to add to this. The EK9 rear hubs track out 2.5mm wider than USDM ITR. The 98+ JDM ITR rear hubs track out 5mm wider than USDM ITR. They are not all exactly the same.

Oh, and to add further info, brake sizes are the same (between ITR and CTR).

One question,

If I have a JDM Integra SI (Practically a GSR)
Does that mean I could bolt the CTR rear hubs onto the existing SI spindle.

Cause I see that you guys are saying that the CTR changes the track by 2,5mm
and the ITR changes the track by 5mm on the rear.

Does that mean the CTR has a shorter hub than the ITR and might be able to bolt onto the SI hub and the bearing will sit properly?
