Default gsr suspension into a crx??

I picked up a 90crx si a few weeks ago, everything is in good condition except the suspension. Bushings are gone, struts&springs are still stock, whole front end is messed up. Something is bent pretty bad coz it pulls like u wont believe.

Im thinking instead of spending cash to get all the parts replaced or fixed, I'll pick up a complete gsr suspension for cheaper. I found a nice deal for a complete 99 gsr suspension (350cdn) I mean complete with everything except bolts and nuts.

So my question is should I go with the gsr? and also if I do it my car would sit pretty high right? so can I swap in lets just say H&R springs made for crx?

I expect that the stock GSR springs for the heavier Integra will make the CRX sit tall. if you are talking about using OE stock GSR shocks, they are certainly nothing special inside so there would be little advatage. The rear shcoks will be a direct bolt on to your CRX. The front shcoks are pretty close in length to the CRX shocks but they will not fit into your CRX froont bottom wishbones therefore you will need to transfer the wishbones front the GSR. I don't know the difference off hand between spring perch locations on the front between the two cars. The biggest thing is that you may have crap shoot on what ride height you get.

Are you sure you really want to spend that much money on used parts that are neither anything special nor made for your car? For not much more you could get some new adjustable KONI reds or non-adjustable tokico blues for your CRX and put a decent lowering spring with them.
