USDM ITR and a CTR both use 32mm axles, the JDM ITR uses 36mm. You will want to find the CTR or USDM ITR parts.

- Wed Nov 12, 2008 2:27 pm #78364 A complete swap from an importer usually runs between 1500-1600 depending on the condition of the rims and tires. Stay away from shady transactions as autocrime divisions are specifically trained to look for ITR suspensions on non-ITR vehicles. If they pull you over and you don't have paperwork for the swap you'll find your car in the impound.

I dont see how they can do that. None of it has a VIN or any other ID type tag. How can they prove you stole it or it is stolen? Just becuase they dont have a receipt or anything on them doesnt mean its stolen. Lots of personal transactions dont include paperwork. Hell, I just made two trades in two days and no paperwork was swapped or given.

- Thu Nov 13, 2008 2:27 pm #78468 I'm not sure how autocrime in Houston on IL functions, but in NY they don't need a reason. If you don't have a receipt from an importer OR a bill of sale from someone who sold you the suspension from their ITR and the title from that car or at least a copy they will take your car and you probably won't get it back. It's not innocent until proven guilty with this, it's show me how you procured it or we're going to assume its stolen.

I have an LS swap in my hatch and I have an envelope in the glove box with the signed title that the engine came from and the same for the car that the tranny came from.
