They'll fit. But yes, I remember hearing that itr springs raise the car 1/2" or so. Might be kinda funny looking. ITR rates are perfect for daily driver/fun car springs. Linear front rate (195lbs I think?) and progressive (145-195) rear. Pretty

I have complete GSR suspension on my 5th gen and I've considered putting Gravedigger logos on the side.

Spoons? Do the ITR's raise the ride height from stock?

I don't want a really harsh ride and I don't want to lower more than an inch...

I bit of harshness is expected, I just don't want it to be really stiff.
