Default 1999 CR-V lowering concerns

Hey, I've got a 1999 CR-V that I want to lower. It's the 4wd model as well. I've heard that models that are 4wd can't be lowered due to blocks or some kind of bump stop on the suspension. I wanted to know if this is true or someone is bullshitting? Thanks for any help!!

They can be lowered just fine. Sometimes you'll have to bash in the pinch weld to save your tires but that's about it. Watch your rear camber though.

Berz out.

Thanks. I'm planning on getting camber kits as well.

Also your control arms will get stuck sometimes depending how low. People have done some grinding to make it work. Or just get ingals or truhart control arms.
