If I'm installing ITR cams and valvesprings into a GSR, do you need the LMAs too? And what exactly are the LMAs and what do they do?

 

yup you need them

your car will still work with the gsr ones it came with, but when I added itr cams I did them.

If my car will still work, what is the advantage to the R ones? What exactly do the LMAs do and why are they a needed upgraded?

 

The Type R ones are stiffer. The Vtec rocker uses it as a valve spring of sorts so that the vtec rocker stays somewhat aligned with the other rockers so that vtec can engage correctly. Or at least that is my understanding/logic of it.

The Type R has higher lift cams and a few more hundered rpms. so stiffer ones were in order. Honda wouldn't do it if it werent needed.

 

You are correct sir

 

thanks for the info. Looks like Acura wants about $30 each for them so that equals $240. Jeez...

 

you can do much better then that if you look and ask around.
