I have it on OME springs and bilstein shocks with 3” strut spacers. The rides kinda of stiff and I was wondering if anyone would have a solid solution for me. I changed my tie rods and rear trailing arm bushings because they were bad and I thought that was the problem but it still proceeds and I also looked at bushings in my rear upper and lower and front upper and lower control arms and everything looks good but I’m not sure if I need to upgrade certain things or what to make the ride smooth again.

Ive heard from more than one person that the OME springs make the ride stiff as hell. Might not be anyway around that if you decide to keep them on. Also, not trying to dog on your setup in anyway, but are those OME providing lift, as well as the 3" strut spacers? 3" lift on a crv is already kind of maxing out the tolerances as it is, any more than that, you might be putting a lot of strain on your suspension. You can expect early component failure often. Are the Bilsteins extended travel shocks? Just some things you might want to consider when it comes to how your ride handles.
So I finally installed my new wheels and tires. I also got 4 led cube lights for the front and back, just have to get them wired. I think I am gonna end up getting a 1.25 inch lift spacer for the rear since I noticed it rubs slightly under load. Does anyone have recommendations? What else would I need for alignment? I ended up getting hub centric rings, but now i cant insert the hub cover that came with the wheels...

You're going to need rear adjustable camber arms and up front specialty camber bolts. I got my camber arms on eBay for $64 and the bolts on Amazon for $15. Installation is pretty easy.
Alrighty boys, question.
So I hope I'm not the only one with this issue, but sunroof open+ roof rack= lots of wind and noisee.
i was thinking about getting a sunroof wind deflector, do y'all think that would cut the wind being blown into the cabin and reduce the turbulence?
AEROGENICS 1in spacers for sale.
Used for little less than a year. Have the nuts for them also just have to find them
200 shipped to your front door or OBO
So I finally got around to installing my 1" lift up front. Had the front end suspension apart to replace control arms, end links, ball joints, and outer tie rod ends, so I figured why not. Now I'm getting a rubber to metal squeal whenever I turn, from the right strut. That and the rears have been creaky whenever I go over bumps, since I installed them months ago. Anyone else experience this? All the struts still seem to be in good working condition. Is there a simple remedy? Something I did wrong perhaps? I'm gonna have the front end apart again soon to do the bearings since I still can't seem to get rid of the highway shake at 55-80mph, so if I can fix it then, I'd like to.

Mine does this as well. But it is from a rubber insulator / spacer I for some reason thought would be a good idea to place on top of the lift spacer. One of these days I'll pull the rear struts and take it out. I also have a shake on the highway. Can't seem to get rid of it. I have balanced wheels, it has brand new tires I have even checked each one for belt separation, wheel centric rings, done multiple steering component checks, even alignment a few times. (I'm a Journeyman mechanic, and have a shop) I also have the shake on acceleration, so I am thinking I might change out the CV axles running out of things to replace.

I feel the exact same way, the frustration is real. At this point I'm replacing the bearings cause I can hear a slight hum on the highway. Found a good deal on some Monroe struts too since they're not preloaded so might as well, the struts on there now look original and the car is over 150k miles. I'm really hoping one of the two fixes the issue. I'm not thinking mine is a CV, cause I don't get the clunks on turns or shakes on accel/decel. Just in the specific highway speed range. Tires are fairly new, don't notice any oddities in their shape. Balanced wheels. I've rotated them multiple times. Hubcentric spacers. I get an alignment everytime I do any kind of work down there. The shop I take it to is starting to feel bad for me lol. Feels like I'm throwing money at a fire hoping it will extinguish, and I'd really like to get it fixed so I can go back to actually modding it. Summer is coming soon, and I'm dying to take it to the mountains.
Those that have exterior lights on there CRV. Where and how are you running the wires into the cabin? I wanted to put rock lights in the wheel wells and spot lights but cant seem to figure out how to run them into the cabin for a switch?
My 98’ I bought for $525.00 and I’m slowly trying to fix little problems and make it a little better .
I have it on 15x7 Black Rhino Boxers with 215/75 BF Goodrich Ko2’s . Just recently put Aerogenics 1.5” lift spacers in the rear . Thinking now I need to bring the front up a little.

I failed to find any "easy" way to pull cables into the cabin except for drilling through the torpedo wall, which I was not very keen on, so I pulled the cables behind the wheel arch and through the side plate in the doorway.
Been running like this for 1½ years now without any problems

That's the easiest way I found to run the cables for my light bar and everything as well. I haven't had any problems since the wires don't get pinched.
