[B]jdm type r shocks[/B]

hey

do jdm ITR shocks fit on a vtir with the jdm LCAs?, also will an aus spec ITR rear sway bar fit on these shockers? or do you need a jdm sway bar?

any help pleasee??

cheers

yes, and from what i know the jdm shocks are the same as the AUDM ones, but the JDM spring are just a touch harder.

The swaybar doesnt connect to the shocks, it connects to the LCA, and both AUDM and JDM LCAs are the same so its doesnt matter.

[rmalov]

no their not the jdm lcas are much bigger than the aus lcas. could this still be done??
yeh i know the sway bar connects to the lcas but is there any difference in aus one compared to the jap sway bar

[[CRA23]]

ive got a real jdm R and the lca's and exactly the same as the aus ones.

The sway bar diff is the 98spec jdm ones are 1mm thicker in diameter

hey dude thanks for the info, so an ausspec sway bar will fit on the jdm lcas yer??, and also are the jdm shocks and springs any good? i heard they are very stiff, how low does it sit?

cheers mate

JDM '96 suspension with 22mm rear sway bar = AUDM ITR

JDM '98 springs slightly harder + 23mm rear sway bar + different rear upper arms

All ITR lca's are the same, JDM '98 had wider track due to wider wheels offset.

So JDM 98+ rear sway bar is 1mm thicker than AUDM rear sway bars...?

Would a JDM 98+ sway bar fit on to a AUDM ITR?

Yes and yes, just get the right d-bushes to match, bolts straight in...

Thanks champ!

[rmalov]

what about the vtir front sway bar is it the same as the type r front bar??
and will the jap spec lacs and suspension with the sway bar fit on the vtir?

JDM '96 & AUDM ITR front sway bar is 24mm = VTi-R
JDM '98 ITR is 25mm front

Yes they will fit but you need LCA + ITR suspension used together, not ITR suspension with VTi-R LCA or vice versa.

EDIT: Oh yeah forgot to mention, in order to fit ITR sway bar to VTi-R you will need either Beaks or ASR subframe reinforcement kit to avoid tearing the subframe.

its important to remember... if your going to put a itr rear sway bar on a vtir... to put a aftermarket rear lower brace... this makes your rear subframe stronger...

the reason is if you put a thicker than standard sway bar on the rear you might tear the subframe when you go up the driveway...

itr already come with a rear lower brace but the vtir didnt...

hope this helps
