The front's will fit.

The rear's will not. You will need "ITR" Spec LCA's. The OEM ones will NOT fit.

The only ones that will work are Function7 ITR spec control arms. They are $300+

It's doen't matter if he has them. They won't work!


The only control that will work comes from function7.

The 96-00 lower controls are longer, than the DC control arms. Type R control arms WILL NOT work in his car.

Sell the ITR LCA's, and the ITR springs if you're planning on getting different springs. Or just sell everything if you don't plan on using those shocks with Function7 LCA's for your car.

There are plenty of people out there who would like to buy ITR springs and LCA's. You can get a pretty good bit of money from them I'm sure.

Not be rude, but did even read what I posted?

The only company that makes LCA's for 96-00 that are compatable with Type R shocks is funtion7.

Look at the the shock, compared to what's in the car.
You will see the difference quickly.
