Default JDM LCA same as USDM LCA?

I was wondering if the JDM ITR LCAs were 'basically' the same as the USDM LCAs. I know the design is slightly different (the JDM ones seem to be more "round/smooth" looking). The reason I am asking is becuase I recently purchased a set of Apex'i World Sport coilovers made for ITR so I was curious if the JDM ITR LCAs would fit on my 94' LS enabling me to install the damper. If not would I have to buy the USDM LCAs for my LS to make the damper fit? Jdmshit.com sells the JDM LCAs for $95 so I was going to jump on the deal if all would bolt up alright. Thanks for you input and help.

Only if you happened to need the UCA and compensator arms. If you don't then I'd rather have new, guaranteed unbent arms with new bushings.

Hmmm ... well if I'm just bolting on the new damper ... what do i need exactly to make it work (i have a 94' integra)? I was told I only need the Lower Control Arms (LCAs). Is this accurate? Do i need anything else? What do you think I should do with respect to cost: new LCAs - or - jdmshit.com $95 deal? Thanks for your guys' help!

I just want to see pics and get a ride after the setup is put in

Hope you enjoy your new coilovers, and just let me know if you need anything else
For kicks, I'll throw in a shameless plug (see sig for special on this setup)

I don't see why JDM LCA's would be any different.. but it should fit the same as a USDM one.. I wouldn't pay extra for them either..

from sunnyside's website(USDM LCAs):

044 52350-ST7-R00 ARM, R. RR. (LOWER) 1 1998 Acura INTEGRA $58.50 $46.80
045 52360-ST7-R00 ARM, L. RR. (LOWER) 1 1998 Acura INTEGRA $58.48 $46.78

last two numbers are prices.. first is retail.. second is sunnyside's price..

I have a pair of USDM rears for $75, btw.. see the link in my sig..

I called my local acura dealar and asked for a price quote for ITR LCAs and he quoted me a little over $200! I'm not sure where you got your numbers from mstewar ... maybe the 'parts guy' was looking at the wrong thing. Oh well ... since I need them asap I'm probably going to go to jdmshit to pick them up.

If anyone is located in Southern Cali. and is selling a pair of ITR LCAs (USDM or JDM) lemme know by sending me an IM. Thanks!

That's crazy!!! list price on the arms is $71.04 (each). Acura Carland has them for $54.54 and I'm sure you can do better through another source.
