Suspension between GSR and Type-R

Are they the same or different?
If they are different, what do i have to do to install a R suspension?
install the R rear LCA?

Different... different spring rates, dampening etc.

To use theirs, yes... you must install their rear lower control arms.

No some of the components are different. Ergo, they will not bolt on to a non ITR Integra. Rear lower control arms are one example. The ITR has significantly larger arms. It can be done but there is more work involved than the standard aftermarket bolt on for your car.
