Default Need suspension help!

ok so im currently using all the suspension components from my 00 gsr on my 00 usdm itr.
reason being the 5 lug was taken off(theives).

So i have on the gsr rear lcas but the mounting holes are diffenrent on the subframe.
WHat are my options for the rear?
will the gsr sway bar fit with different brackets?

Also the front has no sway bar as of now.
i have gsr front lcas sitting in my garage, i just need to get the sway bar and hardware.

I plan on getting 5 lug again of course but my funds are low....

The gsr rear LCAs bolt on. The fronts are the same LCA on both cars.

The gsr rear swaybar is useless. Save the hassle of installation. Iirc, u will have to drill holes in the subframe.

X2. There is really no point in installing a GSR rear bar.

Edit: The shock mounting on the LCA is different between GSR and ITR. Is that what you meant? You'll need GSR shocks to work with GSR LCAs and vice versa for ITR stuff (in the rear only, the front is the same).

It will work, but I think you may need adjustable endlinks. I believe the ITR and GSR are different. This is totally going off the top of my head based on reading years ago, so... Maybe search in the regular Integra forum for "ITR sway bar" and see what turns up.

Gsr and itr endlinks are the same, IIRC. You can look up part numbers here www.bernardiparts.com.

Acuraautomotiveparts does actually show different PNs for ITR and GSR endlinks.

Edit: They are different. This is a GSR:


This is the ITR:


I also turned up this thread which basically answers the question: https://honda-tech.com/forums/showth...light=itr+sway

OP, you need to search better in the future, that was not difficult to find.

Did you not have insurance on the car??? Or do you just have a very high deduct?

Either way, to run the GS-R LCA you will need GS-R shocks. Assuming you have ITR shocks still, just get use LCAs (or new). Used = $50, new = $110 or so.

I know you are on a budget, but GS-R shocks will cost you some money as well unless you have a set laying around, and then you'd want to swap springs, etc.. but then I'm not sure which parts you still have...

i bought the car a few weeks after it got stolen...
they took all the suspension,interior and swap.
left the exterior untouched.
so i have a 01 usdm c5 swap in it now.
its currently on omni power coils with all sohc dx lcas and no sway bars.
it rides like ****ing **** but i dont ever drive it... im not gunna drive it daily until i get all the suspension done.
