Im going to buy some shocks that are used, but there for a 1990 CRX will they fit my 1988. I know they are interchangable between Civic and Crx but what of the different years. When I looked up the websites it says 89-91 and seperate for 88 thats why I asked

 

The 88 rear is different, the front should be the same.

 

How different are the rear, Could I just get the 89-90 Control arm and use those or what other parts will I need to put these in

 

Yeah all you need are the rear LCA's to run 89-91 struts

[QUOTE=Maxpower350]How different are the rear,

Well the 88 was offered with eye-socket lower control arm mounting points for the struts, and the 89-91 are the fork-type mounting points. Yes you could swap the LCM, but the front from the 88-91 are the same. Hope that helps.

 

^^ yeah, and it's really easy to swap them too, that's what I did with my 88 crx
