nope. the only other parts that will work are parts from an 86-89 integra, which are the same as the civic, and rear shocks for an integra type r have been known to work.

lowering the front is pretty easy. all you have to do is turn the t-bar adjusters and you're fine. you'll run out of shock travel quickly though unless you do something to shorten the shock shafts. upgrademotoring has stiffer torsien bars. you'd probably want 24mm for the street.

shocks are available. heel toe auto may still have a set of teins midevil pros available, but they are expensive. koni discontinued shocks. tokico should still be available along with KYB

springs are plenty available from tokico, ground control and the like.

Come on over to www.redpepperracing.com for more information about the 1st Gen CRX and its 3rd Gen Civic brother.

Also check out the www.japaneseclassiccarshow.com on Sunday September 12, lots of Redpepper members will be showing their CRXs there.

^^these are the only ways to do it without being halfassed too. also, if you lower the back with coilovers or springs (if you can find them), you might want to get an adjustable panhard bar to keep the rear axle straight.

External sway bars are one of the best upgrades on these cars.

Besides a B-series swap, the Teins are the best modification you can do to one of these cars.

I personally run an 88 Integra with a turbo charged B18C5 and the Teins...as well as other goodies. I'll be at JCCS agin this year....my 87 Teg was totalled when i was hit by a drunk driver running from the cops back in Feb., but I was able to swap everythign to a new chassis.
