im guessing if it did fit a crx then the website would say it fits a crx. i think i remember seeing one modified to fit an ef but that was a long time ago.

It doesn't matter if it fits or not. It's totally useless on an ED chassis.

Subframe braces only make a difference when the swaybar is mounted to the subframe. '88-'91 Civics and CRXs that have swaybars, have them mounted to unibody below the trunk/hatch.

If you don't have an ED chassis then why are you posting in this section?

EDIT: I see that you have a wagon..

Our brace will fit a 88-91 CRX/Civic although we did not plan on it from the get go (it was really designed for the EG/DC chassis). Several of our customers have installed them (check on B20VTEC.com) and installed aftermarket sway bars on the subframe brace (like in a later Civic/Integra model).

A few holes (4 total) need to be drilled on the subframe to attach the backplate of the subframe brace and the rest is bolt on.

Almost any OEM or aftermarket subframe mounted sway bar will work with our brace. The OEM 92-95 Civic or 94-01 Integra (including the ITR) sway bars will fit.

Our brace comes with multiple mounting holes that accomodate brackets of different sizes. We do know that all the common brands of sway bars do work with our brace (ST, Progress, ASR, and several others... and if you can't find a bracket that fits our brace, you can get the universal sway bar brackets from us or directly from Energy Suspension.
