Icon2 PRELUDE - EIBACH PROKIT**# 4008.140

Anyone know off hand if 3rd Gen Prelude springs will fit on a CRX?. I'm thinking the only difference would be the drop.

Eibach Part # for CRX is 4007.140. Prelude is 4008.140


Thanks

Different part numbers mean different spring rates and dimensions. why not just buy the correct spring for the car?

The prelude had a b20 engine, which was several hundred pounds heavier than the D-series, so i am sure their spring rates are higher than the crx's rates.. my money is on "if they fit, they will be so stiff you won't have teeth left after the first drive". maybe that's what you are looking for though.

the prelude b20 was NOT several hundred more

Id **** myself if it was more then 50 pounds over

Ive had to change a few. a CRV b20 is heavier, and certainly not even 100 pounds heavier

b-series engines on average are about 100lbs heavier than a sohc d-series.

You nailed it!. I called Ebach today. Fit is a maybe and the spring rate is double what the correct kit is.

Thanks everyone.
