Default crx suspension

I have a 89 crx hf with a b16 and mucho addons. I want to beef up my suspension now to take on some twisties and was wondering if anybody knows any good places that sell some bad *** lca for rexes. Also sway bars.

My suspension is as follows: Spoon strut bars front and rear, vision camber kit (front), skunk2 springs with tokico shocks (suck), and si rear disc conversion.

Thanks ahead of time.

Just out of curiosity, what's wrong with the current control arm that you need a new one? Or do you just want the bling?

LCA's aren't gonna do much for handling. The biggest thing you can do is get a better sway bar. Get some koni yellows too.

Nothing wrong with the arms. Just want new ones to feel sure bout the car. Koni yellows? Would that be better than getting the Tein basic damper setup?

What about swaybars. You guys using any? Do you feel any difference?

The vision camber kit will only dial in negative camber

changing out the lca's is not necessary for better handling.

Get some better shocks, a better sway bar, and some sticky tires.

if you really feel energetic do an Energy suspension bushing kit. Auto zone for that.

Also, consider asking the same questions in the suspension forum.

Get some uprated Springs to handle the extra B16 weight

The Progress kit comes to mind

GREAT kit for HYBRIDs

Also Rims/Tires and alignment go a LONG way in terms of handling over ANY other mod

Ask the people in the RR / AUTOX board

Koni Yellows are definitely better shocks then the Tein Basic/Super Street setups. If you want track ready suspension, I would go with full one body coilovers such as Omnipower, H&R, Tein (Higher class ones, not the basic or super street) or some similar one.

Im rocking Koni Yellow Sports with GC's all around. They are bit stiff for daily driving but keep the car on the road. Sway bars and strut bars should give you the cornering you want.

For Daily driving, I would just stick with the Tein Super Streets (Get the pillowball mounts too) or get some lowering springs and some KYB AGX or similar shocks.
