Default CRX Front lip and Crx Lowering

Ive never lowered any of my hondas and ive decided i want to lower my 90 crx si, Any ideas on how i can go about that?
Also, the stock front lip for the crx seems that its only about an inch lip, ive seen some other pictures of lips that are about 4-5 inches, did those come stock as well?

You must be a real newbie for asking those questions. Buy LOWERING springs to LOWER the car. As for the lips, the stock OEM is only about 1 inch. What you see on other picts are aftermarket lips. If you need more info, do the SEARCH.

Sorry i didnt explain thoroughly, i meant what would be the best way to go about it as in type of springs and whatnot, i dont want a cruddy ride, although i know its not going to be perfect. I just want to feel as less bumps as possible lol

What is the purpose of the car? daily driver, track ****, a little of both? And as far as springs go, "I just want to feel as less bumps as possible" this normally means soft.

What's your budget? I am sure in the FAQ section you will find different answers. But get Neuspeed Sport or H&R sport coils for decent ride and lowered. May want some aftermarket shocks (again search in the FAQ section)

My springs will lower your car perfect, and you will have the smoothest ride, you wont feel any bumps.
This is a really good spring.

I'm not exactly sure what your looking to find out but this is my J's racing replica lip (polyurethane).

If this is going on a daily, I would highly recommend a poly lip and not fiberglass or carbon.

I beg to differ on the Tein S techs.... pretty firm spring, normally an agressive drop to where you need a camber kit... bought a set for my accord and yeah total waste of money IMO. Seems like your more concerned about selling your springs than helping somebody out.

i'd go for something else. Like Eibach prokits.

more expensive but less hassel. IF IT WERE ME i'd just get konis / GC's.

I have the USDM front end so what all modifications will i have to do, if any. On the site it says it will fit but when i have searched around it says i may need to trim out some. Either way thank you for the link.

No way, this spring is very freindly and was a nice ride.
Its a great drop, but you will not need a camber kit.
If he wants a lowered ride with quality feel, not all bumpy, but smooth for cheap, these are good for that.

With out shelling 300-600$ for a real stiff ride.
I am trying to help him out, if he wants a lowered looking with with smooth handling, these were perfect for me.
