Icon2 Any way to fit 00 iTR suspension on an 88 Integra?

I have Buddy Club iTR racing spec coilovers on my 99 GS-R and just bought an 88 Integra RS. The car is clean and I want to make this my primary project, can I swap the suspension over by changing everything to iTR or is this just impossible?
Thanks for the responses!

Pretty much this.

Front forks might be different, so match those also.

And other than that the top mounts should be the same?

Impossible. The '86-'89 Integra uses torsion bars. Other years have coil-sprung suspensions.

Thats what I thought, I was wondering more along the lines of weather or not the torsion bars can be converted to coil sprung.

Very unlikely. The tops of the towers on that model are not built to take the load of the suspension.

Unlikely, but not impossible, just expensive. 94
