I'm sorry this may seem like a real dumb question but I purchased an Apexi N1 suspension and when I bought them I was told the lower control arms in the rear were from an 88 CRX. He also proceeded to tell me that those LCA's are the same that are on the type r. My Sol had the traditional fork style in the rear. We bolted them up and everything was cool till I blew one of them. I went to replace the suspension with Tokico blues and realized now that I had CRX rears with EG front forks and that I would have to mix and match parts in order to get me back on the road. BTW, he also mentioned that these same coilovers were meant for the R not a CRX, he just used the LCAs from the CRX, cause they are the same. Is this true?

Now i've found myself looking for front CRX forks in order to get the rest of the Tokico shocks to fit in. I've sent the N1's out to get rebuilt from Apexi. The CRX LCA look a lot like the Type r ones and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on this for me. I thank you in advnce for your help.

And sould I have just bought Tokico's blues for an R instead of changing my suspension to that of a crx? If the two LCAs are indeed the same, would'nt I have been able to just do the R setup?

 

yes the 88 crx rear lca are the same as the type r. (99% at least, i dont think the crx have holes for the abs line that the type r has) but other then that the same.

 

So it was pretty dumb of me to change out my front forks for those of the EF when all I could've done is just by an aftermarket suspension for an R? I know this is a dumb post but it's winter out here in Chicago and I want to take care of my suspension before we get some heavy snow fall. Thanks man.

Sounds right to me...



Here's the ITR front / rear coilovers I just got... look familiiar? Need any measurements of anything?

 

Whats up Chris? Thanks for chiming in.
The proble, was since I had removed my N1s to send back to Apexi to get rebuilt I needed something to get me back on the road, they had CRX shocks in stock so I grabbed em, problem was the front ones were too small to fit in my front forks, so now that I had already purchased the shocks for the CRX they suggested that I get the CRX front forks for the front in order for the Tokicos to fit. When in reality all I should've done is gotten some Integra R ones? Please correct me if i'm wrong.
BTW, i'll be selling the N1's for $900 when I get em back from Apexi.

 

I believe only the rear LCAs are the interchangable...front LCAs are different. I think people are confused which ones you're referring to.... (it is my understanding you're trying to find info on the FRONT LCAs)

 

Okay here I go to clear it up a bit. Can I put an aftermarket Type R suspension with the 88 CRX rear LCAs and the stock EG front forks?

 

yes the eg front forks are the same as the type r front forks.
and
yes the 88 crx rear lca's are the same as the type r rear lca's
