The lowering springs are for the rear only. The front uses a torsion bar suspension setup. OPM Motorsports sells (or at least they used to) aftermarket torsion bars in various thicknesses to help stiffen the front end for lowering, or you can lower it with the stock torsion bars in there (not really recommended, as it cuts down on the front suspension's amount of travel under compression - i.e., bumps and dips).

For all your 1st-generation CRX needs, check out RedPepperRacing. They're the old-school CRX gurus, and can point you in the right direction for whatever performance parts are still out there. They ARE hard to find, but with patience, you can usually turn up whatever you need.

By the way, the PaceSetter headers and exhaust are not generally well-regarded. They're cheap, but they're... well, CHEAP. In every meaning of the word.

Mike

Well, if you are ghetto what you do is take an EF intake and cut like 5 inches of the TB end. Fits like a glove. We did it to my friend's 87 Si hatch.
