I have a 97 GS-R and have the opportunity to purchase a set of '00 ITR shocks and springs as well as the front ITR swaybar and the rear LCA's. Is there anything else I need or should this all fit together?

 

Anyone with knowledge - please. Will the GS-R front and rear stabilizer bars still fit? Do I need the front LCA's or not? Any help would be greatly appreciated - Thanks.

 

nope
u just need the rear LCA's.
otherwise ur set and good upgrade

 

Uh, the front ITR swaybar is no different than the stock GS-R front bar.

hes right no difference. as far as the swap goes. everything fits in place. i recently did this on my car but instead i also added the rear sway. Have fun getting theose stock rear LCA bolts off!!!

 

Thanks for all your help. Now one last seemingly dumb question. I am going to meet this guy and pick up the set-up on Saturday. I know how to check out and inspect the shocks....but can anyone tell me how I identify the shocks/springs as being true Type R's? How does one tell? Can anyone post some pics or something? Thanks again.

 

Well, they will be shorter than yours when uncompressed, most notably in the rear. They are black just like the stockers I believe, but they have a colored band thats different from the others...I think my GSR ones have a green band.

Someone who knows the color back me up.

 

the itr springs will have a blue/purple stripe in the front and a blue/gray stripe in the back
