Default Suspension Info.

so i just bought my boy Srr's CR-V and I was trying to find out some more info on dropping the CR-V and i'm getting a little confused. It's dropped right now on some civic neuspeed's out back and some ebay coils up front. I like the drop on it right now, it's daily driven in New England so there's potholes everywhere and when the snow comes i want to be able to raise it back up alittle.


I see there's a k-sport/d2 coilover set-up available for the CR-V but i always hear mixed feelings on these brands. What are my coilover options in terms of made specifically for the CR-V and others cars that will fit without modification?

^^lots of good discussion.... as for a one piece coilovers, there are really few brands
available out there, most of the time youll really have to mod it to fit when you try to use
other coilovers for other honda/acura models...

Thats a lot of info in there, it's kinda of all over the place though. I was looking for more of this will fit/work, this won't.

I may have to read through it again when i get home so i can at least see the pics aswell.

i could be wrong, but the K-Sports seem to be the only "plug and play" option.

Im runnin ksports on my crv. They are definitely plug and play but I also had to get an ingalls front and rear camber kit. They ride 10x's better than stock but I do sometimes wish they were a bit stiffer.. I looked for a LONG time and these were the best i could find. Holler if you find something better.

BWR here, had to trim the rear mounts. no biggie, ingalls rear/ SPC front camber kit. And I would agree with Hironakasan, its still a bit soft for my taste. I would go with K-sport, or Groundcontrol/koni. (600lb/500lb) from what i've read here from others.
