how do i lower the front of my crx?
I need help on lowering the front of my 85' crx. It has shock absorbers in the front with no coil overs. so i need advise on what to do. By the way i lowered the back about 3 inches. Thanks.

your car has torsion bars in the front. at the bottom there's a nut you can adjust to lower your ride height. this was one of the 1st mods i did to my AG4 hatch and the nuts were welded afterwards.

If i adjusted that nut how low can i get it to go? Because i want to get the front to be about as low as the back, which is about 3inches.

it's been 5 years since i've owned that car. i doubt you'll get a 3" drop in the front but i could be wrong.

you will get maybe an inch at the most with the adjusting nut - in order to get more you will need to reposition the splines on the torsion bar in the torque tube - you say you lowered the rear 3" - whenever you lower the rear, the axle moves closer to the driver's side - to correctly reposition the rear axle to the center of the car, you will need an adjustable Panhard bar
