I have a 01 ITR ( obviously lol ) and it's about time for an overhaul of the suspension.

Right now its on stock every thing with Tein lowering springs. I think I can't remember and I'm at work.


Ive started looking at a couple of different web sites to see what they offer, the different things that they offer, and what is limited in the type r world.


I want to replace the following.

Stock shock and spring set up with a Full Coilover- Most likly Tein.
Front and rear camber kit- Skunk 2, Omni, one of those 2.
Front lower ball joints- I have heard the buddy club ones are pretty decent.
Rear lower control arms, function? Skunk?
Havent decided on if im going ot upgrade the sway bars or not depends on how they and the endlinks look. Cusco perhaps.
Some sort of tie bar. I know the Type r bar is strong but yeah. You get the idea.

Pretty much a full overhaul.

Let me know what you guys have seen work, on other set ups. Throw me your opinions on what parts you think out perform others. Etc Etc

The car is a DD, makes 340 on 11 psi.

Thanks in advanced.

 

The coilover you choose and its application will determine what rear LCAs you can buy. ITR specific coilovers will require arms that can accept them like factory arms with new bushings or Function 7 arms.

Don't bother wasting money on Buddy Club ball joints - just go OEM.

 

oem ball joints. skip the camber arms. tie bars don't really do anything.

 

That's not really a full overhaul, just throwing random aftermarket parts at it.

Use as many OEM parts as you can so you know they are the best quality.

 

Skunk2 sticker on front windshield!!

 

I would say just choose a good coilover setup and replace your bushings. Go read the sticky on coilover choices.

 

Yeah, I read up on those. The PIC look like a good choice. Gonna have to do some research on those.

and solbrothers I didnt say thats what I was going to buy them. I'm throwing ideas out there to get every ones opinions. Lets not be a smart *** and try to be mature.

Thanks for all the other input guys, Ive orderd all the end link, lcs, and trailing arm bushings, ball joints and gonnarebuild the power steering rack. Just because.

 

If you're looking @ PIC for coilovers I strongly suggest AMR. My reasoning for this is, besides lifetime warranty AMR builds the coilovers in the USA which doesn't really translates in to quality (which they are) but you know they are built to spec and not ordered in bulk. No knock on PIC because they seem to be a good probuct, but even the owner admits to not revalving/rebuilding @ the US facility. So to me how does he know that it's being valved to the correct spring rate?

 

Yeah, I came across the AMR ones last night. They seem pretty decent for the price found um for 1200 ish..not to shabby.
