Default 03 dc5 itr suspension on a 03 civic si - help..

Ok I am >.< this close to buying a dc5 itr suspension setup and need to know which tie rod ends I need to buy? Do I get regular rsx or do I need ones specifically for the itr?

Another question - are there only tie rod ends on the front suspension? And where would be the best place to find them? I know where to get honda parts but since I dont have an Acura, I dont know where a good place is to get them online.


Thanks,
Justin "the noob"

Welcome to HT, Justin the Noob.

I'm not sure if the ITR tie rod ends are different or not...you'll have to research this more before buying anything. I'm guessing they would be different because the LCAs are longer/wider than the normal RSX.

If you post this exact question on Clubrsx.com, they'll be much more knowledgeable about this subject.

But yes there are only tie rods on the front end of the car. Use this website to order OEM parts at a discounted price:

Good luck

Blindeye--this information is ALL in the FAQ. I suggest that you start there.

And no, DC5R tie rods are no different from USDM DC5 tie rods.

Also, realize that you'll need to modify the rear shock bushings, as well.

True ^ There is also a suspension tuning sticky at the top of the page as well.
