Default Where to find Tokico Illuminas for ITR?

I've been searching the web - Modacar and Shocks.com and other places - and still can't find a place where they sell the Illuminas specifically for the ITR.
Anybody know where?

And I know Tokico makes the Illumina for the ITR;

Sorry but I don't think you will find too may ITR owners who would downgrade to an illumina.

there is no ilumina for itr, most people uses 94+ integra up front and 88 civic/crx for the rear.
compare the part# on the two

so if your ordering from a store near you, and they say its not aplicable, just order 94+integra for the front and 88(make sure its for 88only) civic/crx for the rear

How do you figure that the Illuminas are a downgrade to the stock ITR shocks - and in my case used ITR shocks - plus you get the adjustability of the Illuminas and better dampening than stock.

I went over to the Tokicogasshocks.com and saw two different part numbers for the rear shocks -one for the Integra(except ITR) and the one for the ITR specifically - the front ones are the same.

So I'm a little confused now - I do know however that the 88 Civic/CRX use the same rear LCA but Civic springs are softer and have a diff't ride height as well so I don't if too good of an idea to get these.

EDIT: I guess they list the same part number for the 88CIVIC and ITR for the rears - BU2799. I guess I would have to stiffen up the rear even more to match the stiffer ITR springs.

I think what everyone is trying to tell you is that it would be smarter to move up to a Koni or a Bilstein, Koni if you want the adjustability
