IDK about you but doing 80mph on the highway last thing I want to be thinking is "wonder if that was $70 well spent"

I went with the Progress CSII deal in the HT marketplace.

http://hondamarketplace.com/showthread.php?t=2692801

They're out of stock, but I'd wait for them.

You have to reuse your stock top hats.










That's as low as they'll go, with no interior, so I'll probably have to raise it a bit once it has all the weight in it.

I got mine for way cheaper from some local dude that totalled his CRX before getting a chance to install them...

Even with the Skunk2 struts... bouncy as hell. I have stance, but, I miss my comfort.
