The reason i ask this question is because of lowering springs. I'm thinking of ordering some Tein Springs, and they say they lower 2.5" in front and 1.7" in rear, this is probably for regular non Type R integra's, so i'm trying to figure out how much they would lower my car from stock ? Thanks.

 

Search for pictures of other integras, r or non, w/those springs and you will find your answer.

 

just searched, and couldn't find any pics...all i need to know is how much lower the ITR is than other Integra's, that's all.

And yes, i searched for the answer to the question...I believe i saw someone post that it was about 1inch lower stock, but i wanted to confirm, that's all.

 

AFAIK the ITR is .75 inches lower than other Integra models...

 

Actually .5 inch according to my owner's manual.

 

15mm lower.

 

thanks guys, you were a big help.

Even though you got three different answers? LOL...

 

well, two of them were close to 1/2 an inch, so that's good enough

This one is the correct answer. (That's about 0.6 inch.)

thanks, so if a spring meant to lower a regular Integra was 2.5in lower, theoretically it would lower an ITR 1.9in from stock?

 

NO OE R springs are shorter than NON R springs. so if the lowering spring that you are purchasing is going to lower a RS/LS/GS/GSR 2.5" it would lower a R 2.5" also.

 

My thought was this:

The OE Non R spring is Xinches long

The 2.5inch lower spring is X-2.5" long

and the OE R spring is X-.6" long...

Thus, the difference between the Lowering spring and OE R spring is (X-.6)-(X-2.5)=1.9??? Is this logic correct?

 

yes.. what I meant was if you buy 2.5" lower springs and put them on a R, those same springs on a LS would be the same height as the R.

just search for the spring that you are about to purchase and see if others have it and posted it up..

 

Have the tein springs installed on my car.

To be completely honest if you really dont know type R's very good you probably

wouldnt be able to tell its lowered. Probably lowered it about an inch total.

And your theory about it lowering a regular integra lower then a type r is correct.

PM me if you have any other questions.

 

The ITR is 15mm lower than other integras, so if you buy springs that lower a GSR 25mm (1") then they will only lower an ITR 10mm more than it currently is. the opposite applies if you put, say 35mm lowering springs meant for an ITR into a GSR, then they will lower it 15+35mm=50mm, as happened to me with my last teg, i forgot that the ITR was lower and ended up having to change the springs for regular integra ones as it was too low on the ITR springs.
