Type R Club of America

Hello I'm still looking for a nice set no rust please

still looking...

Further to the set I quoted and described in our recent PM's, they were purchased by a friend at a JDM importer/source. He wasn't familiar with the visual difference(s) between USDM & JDM, but he saw them being removed from 5 lug suspensions.
Does anyone know how to determine the difference between USDM and JDM shock/spring assemblies? I've seen differing references to spring color coding significance, and I have a Rr spring off a GSR that has the same color code - Blue & green - as my Rr "JDM" ITR spring. Furthermore, the GSR is 0.421" thick and the ITR is 0.461" thick, thus 2 clearly different springs can have the same color codes! BTW the fronts measure 0.472". Does anyone know, or have access to: 1)The PN's on JDM, and/or, USDM ITR shocks? 2) Likewise, anyone know specs on spring rates, ride heights, and whether the shock settings are different? Thanks much!

Steve at H motors doesn't have any? Did you find an answer on that weird colored set on your ht thread?

TKS, but tried that, with result of more conflicting info (maybe I was following wrong links?). While this forum seems to be virtually free of BS, I can't say same for the other forums. (E.g. Per my last post: If spring color codes indicate make, model, and year [as purported on another forum], how can 2 integra Rr springs measuring different coil thicknesses, have identical color codes? BTW - I haven't taken the ITR spring off the shock, so I haven't compared free length yet, but like the GSR spring, it has 11 coils). I'm expecting input from at least one of 3 people I know who have JDM ITR's. Of them, one posts here regularly, and even if he doesn't have stock suspension, I'm certain at least one of the others does. In meantime, if anyone can provide accurate input, or a link to same, I'd be grateful. TKS

A few years ago, I pulled the part numbers for each and documented the variances. I can do that again.

If people are still looking for a set, please PM me. I'm shuffling some stuff around.

That would be great! I hope it's not too much trouble, and tks!

Lol, well in this case, google may not be your friend.

No, not too friendler usey! Seems Google often routes one to forums with dubious posts
