Default Lowering springs on a crx

Hi everyone , i tried to search around but did not get a good detail on the type of lowering springs available for a 90 crx dx.

can i know if anyone can help me out to answer the following questions for the brand and manufacturer below

1.) spring rate?
2.) how many inches drop?
3.) best to use with which shock absorbers? (illumina or agx?)


for
1.) tein s-tech
2.) H&R ( whats the difference the black and red ones?)
3.) RSR
4.) what other available options?

mainly want to use performance wise for track/autocross weekend car , and lowered for slightly cosmetic purposes

and do i need a camber kit after i lower the car? or i can send it for alignment without extra parts so that the car wheels wont look like /--\ ( negative camber)

thanks a lot

Tein has spring rates and ride height listed for the S-Tech on their web site.

I'd use Koni Sport dampers.

You won't need a camber kit - you want the negative camber. You will need an alignment to set the toe straight though, so you won't wear tires unevenly.

I used tenzo springs and gr-2 shocks, but don't make the same mistake I did. Im gonna get tein coil-overs in the next few months.

the tenzo r springs claimed like a 2.5 in drop, but Im not so sure I got more than an inch lower than stock.

I would take a look at Tokico Illuminas. They are a little cheaper than the Konis, and have lifetime warranty. I don't know anyone who has been disappointed with them, but I'm sure people on here will post up about that. I'm planning on getting the Illuminas and a set of Neuspeed Race springs for AutoX in a few weeks. You can get the whole setup for about $500 if you look around. If you don't want to **** blood/lose fillings, consider the Neuspeed sport springs instead of race, they don't drop quite as much, and they are the same price.
