Default Want to lower my CR-V

I would like to lower my 2000 CR-V 2.0 front and 2.5 rear. really not sure where to start. Also need help finding places to shop would like to get new intake and new headers for it. Could I use alternate parts from different Honda's? Really appreciate the advise thanks.

good luck. I am awaiting delivery of my 08 mdx and I have contacted ALL major companies reguarding lowering kit. And in their own words "it not on the list" meaning they dont plan on making anything for it in the near future. I am in the process of putting together an air bag setup for it cuz I refuse to be more than a couple inces off tha ground.

As far as bolt ons go....same I contacted all major manufacturers of bolt ons like AEM, Borla, etc...and same thing its not on their list to r&d. So long story short, you will probably be hard pressed to find parts for it in the near future. Good luck tho.

I have a short ram intake on mine for a 92-00 civic. and i am about 99% sure that an Integra LS header will work
I think that Sprint made drop springs for the 1g CRV.

K-sport has released a full coilover setup for 1G CRVs That would be the best way to do it, but Skunk2 also makes coilover sleeves that go over the stock shocks.



You can just get an intake made for CRVs on ebay for cheap and then get a K&N filter for it. That's what we did on ours...and we got some good silicone couplers.

For headers you can use anything made for a B18 nonVTEC engine. Our B20s have basically the same head. So shop for Integra LS B18 nonVTEC headers and you should be good (I am not 100% sure if there are oil pan clearance issues though).

There is a huge amount of parts made for B-series engines, so there is really a ton of potential.

I hope you are reffering to a front wheel drive only CRV correct?
