I recently bought a 1997 Acura Integra and decided to do a Type R 5 bolt conversion.
I currently have the 4 Spindles with disks and brakes, Calipers and brake cables. What I would like to know is, since it's a Type R 5 bolt conversion, do I need Type R suspension? I'm looking to buy a coilover set and and I was also curious what everyone recommends.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance.

you will have to get a suspension for a type r setup.... the type r setup is different then all the other integras...

^ No, it's not. The only difference is the rear lower control arms and rear shocks. You can still use the non-R rear LCAs and shocks as everything else is the same, spec wise.

knox - if you are using your stock rear lower control arms you do not need to order Type-R spec suspension. If you DO have the ITR rear LCAs and plan to use them, then you WILL need to order a Type-R suspension for the rears.

Read this thread, just ignore the Koni references:

engsr - thank you so much for the above mentioned information.

Since I don't have the rear type r set up, is it worth getting? If not, can anyone suggest what is a good coilover kit?

Thanks in advance =)

It's just a control arm. I highly doubt you will notice any considerable performance differences between the two. I would say it's not worth it.

"Which coilovers to get" or "Which coilovers are good" are subjective questions - everyone will tell you brand X is the best and to get it. You'd have to research it, figure out what's best for you and your budget, ask for personal experiences, etc.

Some say the ITR ones are sturdier, but like Bryan said, you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference. I'm a fan of Buddy Club Racing Spec suspension and have heard good things about PIC, but that's prolly too much suspension for most people. Koni yellows with a Ground Control coilovers provide generally the best overall performance and ride quality. BC's and PICs are for the more hardcore.

Anyone heard anything about the Type II Function & Form Coilovers?
Thanks for all the great help thus far =) =)
