Well, a bunch of things affect the ride height - not only the suspension, but also the tire sizes, which you didn't state. (It's possible for a 13" tire to make your car higher or lower than a 17" tire, depending on the full tire sizes, including treadwidth and aspect ratio so that the sidewall height can be calculated.) So tell us the tire sizes of your '88 CRX with 17" tires and your '89 CRX with 13" tires, so we can rule that in or out.

I don't know if there are ride height differences between the '89 Si and the '88 DX (the '88 and '89 were identical, but I don't know about any difference between the two models).

I also don't know anything about ride height differences in the suspensions you mention; you might try asking in the CRX forum or in the suspension forum.

Maybe someone else here can give you a lead on the wheels you're looking for. Personally, I think 17" rims are too big for a CRX, since they require larger tires that slow down your acceleration and throw off your speedometer/odometer, but that's up to you.

One more thing. Stickied at the top of this forum is a topic called

Forum Rules and FAQ - READ BEFORE POSTING

It says:

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Forum Rules and FAQ - READ BEFORE POSTING &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">
<FONT SIZE="4">Rules</FONT>

4. When starting a topic, make the title specific enough that people scanning the list of forum topics will know what's inside. "Need help" or "have a question" are not specific enough. We will rename threads in ways that you might not like. If you violate this rule, we will call you a clueless tool who didn't bother reading the FAQ topic stickied at the top of this forum.
</TD></TR></TABLE>

Which is why it's been changed from "need help". You clueless tool.
