I was just curious if there was already a list of other hondas that the itr suspension would fit on. I know the civics require the itr lca's.

I'm tempted to throw the old suspension on my '89 accord if it'll fit It would sure beat the 213,000 mile stock suspension that's on there now...

Any thoughts?

 

that would be one kick ass 89 accord. i have no idea if they would fit

 

I would consider it an "Accord Type R" {R= Rust}

 

I do know that the rear will fit on a CRX because the 88's came that way..

 

Hmmmmm - interesting.

 

I've seen DC2 ITR suspensions moved onto CRX's, EF Civics, EG Civics, EK Civics, EH Civics...but no Accords.

I'm not even sure that's a great idea. Look at your Accord suspension carefully and then look at the ITR suspension carefully. Isn't the Accord suspension designed for a heavier car?

We have a '94 Accord race car that nobody's using at the moment. (Although Warren might start since he trashed his ITR, probably for the last time, totalled at Beaverun.)

That iteration of the Accord has really surprised me how well it handles. Like the Prelude of the same year, it's very stable and virtually unflappable. I know you can put Prelude disc brakes on the rear, and the 5 bolt suspension from the later Preludes so that you can standardise your wheels...but I really think the ITR suspension is probably too light for an Accord, even if it will fit.

 

Can i ask why??? If you have a parts car why an Accord? I know quite a few people who would give up their right arm for a itr suspension.. I know i would love to have it on the race car as well.

 

Good question...

Answer = 'cause I can. I've got the beater I drive to work every day & I don't feel like buying a new suspension for it. However my R stock suspension with ~113,000 miles is still WAY better then the stock accord suspension with ~215,000 miles.

If it's just my labor, I'd do it immediately. I had a feeling it wasn't just getting the LCA's though...

 

Actually, the '89 accord is much smaller then the 94 model. I don't know exact weight, but I'm guessing 2800 lbs.

EDIT - Add weight info:
" 1986-1989


Accord took a big jump up-market with the introduction of the 1986 version. Bigger and better was the theme, with an increase of nearly 6 inches in the wheelbase and 3 inches in overall length. Weight for an LX Sedan increased nearly 200 pounds; from 2,341 lbs. for a 1985 to 2,529 lbs. for the new 1986...Catering to those who prefer a formal coupe body style with a trunk, an Accord Coupe joined the hatchback and sedan for 1988. As with the hatchback, the new notchback two-door was available in either base DX or loaded LXi trim. Very minor tweaks to the sedan's taillights and bumpers were the lone visual changes for the '88 Accord. Functionally, a bump in horsepower for the LXi engine (from 110 to 120 hp) improved the performance of the top Accords. By now Honda's reputation for building extremely well-built, reliable and long-lasting cars was common knowledge, and sales of over 360,000 units for 1988 confirmed the public's affection for the Accord.

In accord with Accord tradition, Honda brought out an SE-i version of the Accord to mark the last year of a generation, in this case 1989. Chock-a-block with luxury features, some highlights of this special Accord included plush leather seats, a high-performance Bose stereo/cassette sound system and remote stereo controls located on the steering wheel. Also setting the SE-i apart from ordinary Accords were 14-inch alloy wheels, four-wheel disc brakes and bronze-tinted glass. The other Accords were unchanged for 1989."

 

No doubt about it. In 1989 Honda could do no wrong.
