Type R LCAs on LS
I will be purchasing ITR LCAs for my new Suspension on my LS. Anyone that has done this before, if you could shed some light.
I will obviously have to order ITR LCAs. Is there anything else I need? Bolts, bushings (hopefully these are included, and installed)?
Also, what are some other things you would suggest. Perhaps new LCA bolts (The ones that everyone breaks all the time)?
Any other parts or suggestions would be appreciated.
One more question, will my brake (ABS?) lines fit like OEM on the new arms?

I recently did this to a GSR. If the LS is the same as the GSR, which, I believe it is, you will need to get new bolts for where the shock bushing mounts to the LCA. The ones from my GSR were too LONG. My dealership was a little confused on the matter, but I eventually picked up quantity 2 of P/N 90172-S04-003 Bolt, Flange at $1.53US each. It appeared to be the correct bolt and fit fine, so I shall assume it IS the correct part.
My car is from the South and has not been driven in snow/sand/salt so there was very little rust on the other three bolts (anti-roll bar end links, trailing arm, body mount).

Air tools make this job almost fun
As always, having a Helms manual handy is always helpful

Negative. You will need to either use zip-ties or something else to hold the lines to the LCA or trim or bend the metal bracket and tap new holes for the mounting bolts. You might be able to use one of the existing holes in the LCA if you use a nut and bolt combination, but there are no threaded holes that match up like in the GSR (or LS) LCA.
Good luck and have fun.
