Default ITR Shocks???

Hey guys, I was reading that people putting some H&R springs on there ITR. Can they handel it? I have a gsr, and wanted ITR springs, for that lil drop. I assume the itr shocks can handel a lil more of a drop.. So lets say the itr springs drop my car .75 inches, but gsr shocks arent made for it..yet will last. Now you guys think the itr shocks can handle a lil of a drop too?...

This is was i was thinkin..Get some itr lcas, get itr shocks, then some H&R springs. So i can lower my car around what, like 1.5 inches?

Ideas?

Take the money you would have used to buy ITR shocks and LCAs and use it towards buying Koni Yellows for your GSR.

This simply isn't worth the time and effort IMHO.

ITR shocks are not worth upgrading to from GSR shocks.

Ohh well, Only reason i thought about this, if type r shocks can handle springs that lower it like another .75 inch.. Then if i got the R shocks cheap, and got those springs, i would have a decent lowering and better handeling then what I got..

If cost is an issue, stick with the stock GSR suspension until you can afford a real upgrade.

Ohh well then, ill just get the ITR springs then. I got a type R sway bar and mounting kit, been under my bed for a while now. After reading some threads, i was told its a good idea to get better springs, with a higher spring rate so there is less chance of tearout of the subframe.

Thannks for the advice guys Reid. BTW, where did you get your avatar?

get the beeks kit if you are worried about sub frame tearout.

Just wait until you have all the parts before installing them.
