Icon3 CRX Springs on 92-95 civic

Had some CRX springs (Eibach Pros) from a trade and was wondering how the ride with CRX springs in a 92-95 civic chassis is?

I do realize that the CRX springs are 1" shorter in length compared to 92-95 civics. How is the ride? This setup comprises of KYB AGX (OEM tophats) and OEM bushings.

Thanks

cant give a answer about the ride, but the rear struts/shocks will not work the ef chassis (all 88-91) have a different rear mounting setup on the bottom of the strut

Yep, I've owned a 88 CRX and had to deal with that when purchasing shocks. Hmm thanks for the reminder and insight

In the reverse situation, I'm guessing the spring rate will be lower in the EG which is bad news for my shocks. However, since I do have them - I'm wondering if its worth test driving with. Currently I am on eibach Sportlines for an EG and they are alright.

Thanks again - anyone else with ride experience with this particular combo?

I have some info and opinions for you as I have done this. Ride quality, I love it, but its a little on the softer side so my Kyb-Gr2 blown within a few months. Now I have tokico Illuminas and I think my setup is perfect for daily driving. It will make your eg lower than whats on the crx. The brand of my spring is Sprint don't know if you ever heard of it. Wells heres how it look on the crx and eg.





Hope this help clear out some things.
