If you can, find some 89-91 Si LCA's. I have to do the same thing with my 88 CRX. I have the LCA's but I need to replace the bushings before I install them. I have some Koni Sp3&sp4 neuspeed spec'd Yellows with GC coilover adapters. It's a nice setup but I won't be able to attach them until my summer school is over. BTW, you have to get the Si LCA's. The dx and hf do not have the holes for your stock sway bar so if you use the other ones, you will have to go aftermarket like a Suspension technique kit which will run around $200+. HTH

If you don't want to go through all that trouble, just get the rear shocks for a Type-R, they are same as an 88 CRX. I got Bilsteins on my 88.

That's right. 88 CRX has same rear suspension as ITR. I thought about changing over to full ITR suspension & 5 lug but not sure.

I have some Tokico struts that fit the 88 crx. They are adjustable. Make me a offer.
