Default ITR springs

I did a quick search, but didn't find what I was looking for, and I am assuming that this is a pretty easy/basic question for most of you, so I thought I would just post it up.

Anyways, how easy is it to put ITR springs/struts on a 99 GS? Are there any special/wierd things that need to be done, or is it pretty straight forward? This would give between a .5 and .75 drop, correct? And the ride would be pretty similar to stock (slightly stiffer)?

Thanks guys.

EDIT: I have a sedan by the way.........don't think that matters, but I wanted to mention it just in case.

the process is easy enough.. but you will also need the rear LCAs from a itr as well.

Are they easy to get? About how much should I expect to pay for them?

$100 seems to be the average price for the springs alone. I'm not sure how much the shocks go for.

Sorry, I wasn't clear........I ment how much are the ITR LCA's that would be needed for this setup to fit properly?

Also, I think I read somewhere that the LCA's from a 1988 CRX worked for someone.......can anyone confirm/deny this?

im not positive about the crx lcas.. even tho i think i have heard of people doing this. i havent done it myself.

the itr lcas which will def. work can be found on car-parts.com, for about 100-150 for BOTH.

you do not need ITR LCA's if you're just using ITR springs. now if you were to want shocks for an ITR, then you would need the ITR LCAs.

It would make sense to match the ITR springs with the ITR struts, correct? Like I said, I have a 99 GS, and I am sure that the OEM struts could probably handle the ITR springs, but I figured it would make sense to replace them both (springs and struts)........should I not worry about the struts? This is a 100% daily driver by the way - I am just looking for a very slight drop and a bit of a more firm ride.
