Default Benefits of ITR Rear LCA?

would i get anything out of getting the ITR rear Lower Control Arm?
i know the shocks are different (i would have to get the ones that fit itr)
would it improve handeling?

what are some other susp components that make the ITR handel better then non ITR tegs?
i know the subframe is a little diff and swaybar

ITR has:
little stiffer unibody (with added braces & different rear subframe)
lighter weight
stiffer bushings material
LSD
I don't think ITR rear LCA will improve the handling.

I think the only reason that people put the ITR rear LCA's on LS/GSR is because they are mounting ITR shocks (oem or aftermarket). I do recall reading somewhere that the ITR LCA's are beefier than the LS or GSR, but I'm not 100% sure.
I have a set of lightly used ITR LCA's and ITR shocks that will be going on my GSR one of these days - I'll be able to tell ya then if the ITR LCA's are beefier....

The only benefit to rear ITR LCA's is the ability to run coilover setups like Tein HA's that arent available for regular Integras.

Unless you specifically want an ITR coilover system or have ITR shocks that you insist on using, its basically pointless.

They are much larger, stamped steel arms, and the shock fits through the control arm. The bushing is on the shock itself, with the bolt going through both the shock and the LCA. The non-ITR control is smaller, cast steel, with the bushing in the control arm itself. The shock has a fork that fits over/around the LCA, with the bolt going through both the shock and LCA.
