    Default TYPE R VS GSR ? please view and respond

    i got a 98 gsr with 4 lug. im switching over 2 a type r 5 lug. the thing is i got a set of omni power coilovers 4 the gsr suspension. in the rear the lower control arms are different from the type r. my question is which is a better lower control arm and can u put the gsr lower control arm on the type r 5lug spindle? i have look at booth side by side and the way it bolts up is the same. if so it would keep me from buying a new set of coilovers.

    For the rear, yes. switch them over if you want. they are interchangeable. just use a different mounting style for the bottom of the strut.
