I cant find Kyb Agx for the rear of my 88. Am I just blind or is this reality?

They have some for the fornt end, but what about the rear?
Can I use Agx type R shocks, is there such a thing?

maybe if you change your trailing arms to 91s?

i have an 88 so im interested as well

 

the 88 ef was a bastard year ... they had shitty rear suspemsion. They changed it out in 89. Your going to have alittle trouble finding performance shocks for the rear.

 

Nobody has EVER been SO wrong!

The 88 ef si was the BEST year not the bastard year... after all the ITR rear suspension was based on the setup of the 88 si. (passive rear steering I believe it's called).

What if you got the shocks for the ITR rear? would that work on the 88 rear?

 

koni makes shocks for the 88 crx, but they are 500 bux
or if u were to get tiens
all crx's in japan have the eyeball style shocks
just 89+ is different
*shrug*

 

Hahaha, werd!
KYB does not make an eye mount AGX, they only have the GR-2's. So there is no app for an ITR either. Even if there were it would be a little taller than the CRX, and not ideal on a lowered car. If you can afford the koni's, they are definitely the way to go. True you can change the rear to the newer 89-91 setup, but you would need the arms and the linkage for the rear sway bar (if Si). tokico makes shocks for the 88 also that are <U>decent</U>.

 

siR's all have the eye shocks (as do all jdm crx's) so anyone who makes shocks for the siR will fit your car

 

uh...all my suspensions from jap land only bolts on to the 88 ef lca's. so yeah...to reverse your statement, 88 rear lca's are da bomb!

Jeff-

 

now is a good time to upgrade to discs if you dont have any already, just use some DA rears, and use some shocks for the DA.

 

So no AGX, ill look into the konis then...

thanks everyone!

 

The 88 LCA are the shitniz yO!

(Im using the account of my bro btw, my car is NOT stock)

You can swap 89-91 lca's into your 88 and use 89-91 shocks.

 

get type r rear's...same thing..
and u can brag to all your friends.."yeah i got rear type r kyb's"

 

i swapped my 88 lca's for 89 lca's last week...89-91 lca is a better piece. the 88 is a piece of sheet metal. the 89-91's are cast.

so your saying the itr suspension is shitty also, cuz it has the same rear suspension as 88. from my own experience 88 are better on corners than 89-91 models (both stock)

 

Guys, check the link in my sig. for a hookup on 88 CRX/Civic Koni adjustable shocks. You won't be dissapointed in the price

Anyhow, Honda changed the rear suspension for all 89+ US CRX/Civics because people kept spinning the cars. The 89+ style made that harder to do. Good for grandma, bad for the rest of us.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHhahahahahahaha!!!!!!! Grandma in an 88 CRX, "Wheeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!"

 

i had an 88 with tokiko 5-ways, it crashed. i bought a 91 si and when i swapped the parts over i had to swap the lower control arm. obviously the car handles much better now, porbably more because of the shocks/springs but some beleive also because of the lower control arm.
