ITR springs on EG9, is is possible?
I think it´s possible to install ITR(DC2) springs on an EG9, thing is I´m not sure of the result. Anyone as tried this? Or does anybody have a clue of what will happen (eg. how much is it going to lower?)
Thank you

It´s done. Got some springs from my Honda dealer.
In the meantime I also got the OEM ITR front lower tie bar (I think I mentioned this before). Here is a picture of the EG9 original one (the thinnest) compared with the OEM ITR item.

And now photod of before and after installing the springs. The before pictures are with an eibach pro-kit.
Before:


After:


Notice as the rear is too high, this was due to bad seating of the rear springs on the lower plate of the shock, I had to dismantle again the whole thing and cut the lower plate to a lower diameter so it would acept the ITR springs. Now the rear is very near the same height as the front. I prefer these springs.. they feel much harder and give the car a much sweeter handling.
