Welcome!

You need to go to http://www.redpepperracing.com for the answer to all your questions. Read the FAQ section and then post specific questions. There is a lively 1st Gen CRX/3rd Gen Civic (basically the same car under the sheetmetal) community here in SoCal.

to lower the front there are two bolts in the tortion bar and when you loosen them they will lower the front its pretty easy did it to mine as for swaps it can be done. I have a b16 in mine but it did run me a good amount of money. I went through hasport for alot of my parts that i needed. i hope this info kinda helps

about an inch. then you can take the tubes off and re-index the bars to however low you'd like.
