How does independent rebound adjustment help a DC2 on corner entry?

Rear rebound controls how quickly the back of the car lightens as weight moves forward under braking. The Nitron DC2 Integra Type R NTR-R3 adjusts rebound separately from compression, so you can make the rear unload progressively for fast circuits or more readily for tight ones. You can do that without changing how the car handles curbs or body roll.

Where are the reservoirs mounted on the Nitron Integra Type R NTR-R3?

The Nitron Integra Type R NTR-R3 uses hose-mounted reservoirs at both ends, each connected to its damper by a hose. Nitron’s Bi-Axis fittings let each hose leave the damper at the right angle, so routing past bodywork and suspension stays clean. Plan the reservoir locations before installation so the compression adjusters are easy to reach between sessions.

Does the Nitron DC2 Integra Type R NTR-R3 fit both Acura and Honda models?

Yes. The Nitron DC2 Integra Type R NTR-R3 fits the DC2 sold as both the Acura and Honda Integra Type R. It bolts into the factory double wishbone mounting points front and rear and keeps the OEM-type rear layout, so no changes to the arms or chassis are needed.

Should a DC2 owner choose the Nitron NTR-R3 or the Nitron NTR-R1?

If the DC2 is mainly a track, time-attack or race car, the Nitron NTR-R3 is the better fit. It adds independent rebound, low-speed compression and high-speed compression, plus remote reservoirs for consistent damping over long sessions. The Nitron NTR-R1 uses one combined adjuster and no reservoirs, which suits road driving and occasional track days.

Can the Nitron DC2 Integra Type R NTR-R3 be rebuilt and revalved?

Yes. Every Nitron DC2 Integra Type R NTR-R3 damper is fully serviceable and rebuildable, including revalving and spring changes. Track and race DC2 owners often have their dampers refreshed between seasons, and revalving is common when moving to slicks, adding aero or changing series.

Nitron NTR-R3 Coilover Kit for DC2 Acura Integra Type R / Honda Integra Type R

On a DC2, the fastest drivers make their time between the brake pedal and the apex. They trail the brakes into the corner and let the rear unload just enough to point the nose. How quickly that happens depends mostly on rebound damping. The Nitron DC2 Integra Type R NTR-R3 coilover kit gives you independent control of rebound, along with separate low-speed and high-speed compression, at every corner. Setting rear rebound separately lets you decide how quickly the back of the car lightens as weight moves forward. You can make it slow and progressive for a fast circuit, or more eager for tight, technical tracks. Compression is still handled on its own. Low-speed controls pitch and roll, and high-speed handles curbs and bumps, so adjusting the car’s rotation doesn’t cost you control elsewhere. Hose-mounted reservoirs front and rear keep the compression adjusters within reach. The Nitron Integra Type R NTR-R3 fits both the Acura and Honda versions of the car, and with the OEM rear layout it bolts into the factory double wishbone mounts at both ends.

Specialized Bi-Axis Hose Fittings

With reservoirs at both ends, the DC2 has four hoses that each need a clean route. They have to clear bodywork, brake lines and the moving parts of the double wishbone suspension. Nitron’s exclusive Bi-Axis fittings pivot on two planes where each hose leaves the damper. That lets every hose on the Nitron Integra Type R NTR-R3 point toward its reservoir from the start instead of being bent tightly to reach it. Installation is tidier at the front and rear, and the hoses stay clear through full suspension travel and steering lock.

Unique Technology

The Nitron NTR-R3 has won races and set lap records across international motorsport. It is built around a large-diameter piston and an ultra-strong piston rod. The bigger piston moves more oil through the valving for each millimeter of travel, so every click of adjustment makes a clear, repeatable change. That precision is what lets you fine-tune corner entry on a DC2 instead of guessing at it. The hose-mounted reservoirs add oil volume away from the damper body, which keeps damping consistent as temperatures rise through a long session. The independent high- and low-speed compression adjusters on each reservoir mean the Nitron DC2 Integra Type R NTR-R3 can be refined one handling trait at a time, with each change staying separate from the others.
- Basic Damper Design:
  1. End Eye / Top Mount
  2. Damper Piston & Shim Stack
  3. Shaft / Rod
  4. Floating / Separator Piston
  5. Suspension Oil
  6. Compressed Nitrogen Gas

Bespoke Engineering

Each Nitron DC2 Integra Type R NTR-R3 kit is hand-built once it has been ordered. Springs and valving are specified for the car’s purpose, whether that’s a road-registered Acura doing regular track days, a time-attack Honda on R-compound tires or a dedicated race car on slicks. Hard-anodized components and titanium hardware keep weight down and resist corrosion, which is good protection for a chassis of this age that may spend its weekends at wet circuits. The dampers are designed to be maintained over many seasons. Every Nitron NTR-R3 unit can be fully serviced and rebuilt, and it can be revalved for new tires, aero or series rules as the car develops.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
