Hello Honda Tech. Im new to the Honda CRV but not the automotive world. I have a 2009 2WD LX model. it has over 240K miles on it and im getting ready to do a suspension overhaul. I wanted to lower it a little bit but need some input/help. I have googled and searched some forums but haven't found a good build thread that detailed lowering the vehicle. found some godspeed and k sport coil overs and H&R springs. I don't need coilovers as this is a daily and not a performance build but cant find lowered struts. and I don't want to blow the struts and have to change them frequently. but the coils I have found are on the lower end of the quality spectrum. if the forum could point me to a set of decent quality coil overs or lowered struts that would help. I had searched the forum for threads covering the suspension work. about grinding the upper control arms up front. but does anyone have input on correcting the camber at all four corners and possibly front uppers that wouldn't need to be ground down.

 

i heard that camber correction on crv's are a pain...

 

On my 07 CRV LX 4WD daily driver. I went with:

H&R springs
Oem struts
Urethane bumpstops
Rear camber arms
55" (sidewall) tires
Alignment

Bilstein sells aftermarket struts. I haven't tried them yet. For me the oem are ok for now. Btw I have 316km and counting lol.

Say what?? Gonna assume that’s a typo lol

Did you have any camber problems up front after lowering? Or was it within spec?

​​​​​​No camber issues, but you should get an alignment.
