I just had a quick question... I am thinking of buying ITR shocks and springs, front and rear, and rear locating arms (lca's). I know the rear arms are needed for the rear shock/spring assmbly to bolt up, and i am pretty sure that the fronts bolt up to the stock fronts. My question is that, how will this affect my ride height? I have a 93 Civic DX Sedan with the stock suspension

oh, and how well does this setup work? It seems like a good, cheap setup that will be a good improvement!

Thanks alot!

get the brakes and wheels too. it might lower your car .5 inches.

are you doing it for performance or so you can say you have jdm itr suspension??

I'm curious about this as well. I'm in the process of installing a 5 lug conversion onto my '92 Civic HB, but plan to use JDM 16" ITR rims and ITR shocks with H&R sport springs. I want to go a little lower (about a finger gap), but am afraid of bottoming out the shock. Does anyone think the new Benen/Ground Control extended shock perches will drop the car enough? Aw, what the hay. I'll just do it. And if I'm not satisfied with the drop with these mods, I could always get Teins

 

heh, this is for performance, im not a huge jdm fan, I figured that this would be a good idea because it is cheaper than getting a nice tein, koni, or kyb setup and would perform pretty well.

I would like to get the brakes too, but I believe that invloves a full 5-lug conversion, right? And that would cost a pretty penny (i think?... how much does that cost anyway?)

Pretty funny, considering your .sig. *gag*

ITR shocks and springs are a nice combo, car is very neutral with them.

I'm running ITR shocks w/ GC 380f/250r (ots teg rates) and it handles fine.

BTW, the drop w/ the stock ITR springs is barely noticeable, and do a bloody search, I posted pics a long time ago.

 

I searched, but couldnt find a picture. oh well

but, with the GC's, will the itr shocks wear out any quicker? I don't think so, because they are the integra rates, and I'm guessing that the itr shocks have a more agressive valving.

hmmm, so no noticible drop with them?

 

The stock R springs are something like 246f/246r, IIRC.

The OTS Integra rates for GCs are 380f/250r (roughly).

I've had mine for over a year and they're fine. I've been lowered up to a max of around 3.5" and am currently about 2" down and they haven't blown (yet).

The drop is about .5" with stock ITR springs so it isn't too noticeable, but it does handle very well. Just doesn't look like it would.
