I have read this article. The pics show there is some minor differneces between the 2. My question is, I have a 92 gsr and I am getting 2000 ITR shocks and springs. Does it have to use the jdm ITR rear lca or can the jdm da rear lca be used? and what would the differences be?thanks!

 

The article is pretty self-explanatory.

Use the JDM DA rear LCA's and grind down the ITR rear shock bushings. It's either that, or you can get the bushings from the JDM DA and press those in place of the ITR rear shock bushings. Grinding is cheaper, quicker, and easier by far tho.

Personal musing: Maybe there's another Honda bushing that would be compatible with teh JDM DA LCA.

Edit: To answer your question, the critical points are the bushing lengths and the resulting suspension geometry after installing the ITR rear LCA's.

If the inner/outer bushings lengths on the LCA are different, then you need to either modify them to fit or use the USDM DA inner/outer rear LCA bushings.

And, if you did get teh ITR rear LCA's in there, the suspension would have massive positive camber (judging by the difference in lengths of the control arms). To correct for the positive camber, you'd have to cut down the rear upper control arm to correct the camber, but in doing so, you would reduce the track width. You would also toe-out the rear suspension geometry.
