Do any of you guys have or know of someone with a 5G Civic using Integra Type R springs and dampers? Someone is selling a set, and I'm interested in buying it, but I don't know how well it will work or fit or if I will need ITR LCAs...if the ITR sways will fit, I would love to get that also...

 

I had the spring/shock/rear LCA (yes you need those) combo on my 92 Si w/ B18 swap. It worked well, but was a bit high so I noticed a bit of body roll which was somewhat annoying.

On Integras it is pretty close to the "perfect" lowering for street driving but on Civics you end up w/ not as much lowering. IIRC, there are a couple 'dead' coils on ITR springs which you can cut and not effect the spring rate. Can't remember, though.

Anyway, good set-up, just don't get it if you want your car to look lowered. Nice 'sleeper' suspension set-up though.

 

since the entire itr suspension will bolt on the eg, wouldnt it mean that for instance the floorboard will be the same height off the ground on both the itr and the 5g w/ itr suspension, the civic will just look higher b/c of the position of the wheelwells.

i dont think it will promote more body lean if this is the case, and the ride height is just based on the position of the fenders.

 

an integra weighs a bit more than a civic, so it'll compress the shocks more, making the car lower. I have the ITR setup on my car. It's a great setup on a budget and it is definitly lower than stock 5G hardware.

 

You have pics civicmatt? I was interested in using the ITR sway bars and braces too because my former ITR handled sooo good stock...way better than my Civic with Eibachs.

 

i have tein ra dampers made for the itr on my 5g w/ itr lca's and the itr 22mm rear sway bar... the setup is bulletproof compaired to my stock stuff, my car is a whole different beast now, but i cant give you an accurate height assessment b/c the teins are adjustable. it makes sense to me now that the itr is lower due to increased weight though. if you have a swap, this might help the lowering in the front a bit.

 

That was my car on 195/50-15s.

 

I was thinking of this setup too, but it is a little too high for my taste. One thing that was swaying me toward this setup was the stock-like ride. No more flying up and down the seat when you hit a bump :D

 

I have this setup om my '92 CX HB too. It's not as low as other Civics.

My understanding is 'cause ITR came lowered from the factory, this setup doesn't give alot more.
