YES!.. they make them for the CRX and they come stock with radius rods too.
i think prelude radius rods are adjustable? (I think some Accord ones are too? - but what do i know, i'm a crx guy)

Here's what some CRX owners do:

A cheap and easy fix is to substitue your stock soft RR bushings with a harder material (or big washers if you crazy enough). If the radius rods are adjustable then thats a bonus because you don't have to worry about the caster being off - just get an alignment.

Kinda gehto but it works good on my buddys race car.

upgraded engine/tranny mounts will help with the wheel hop. Also stiffer springs and shocks cut it down. You can upgrade your bushing to Polyurethanes or delrin if you only plan on going to the track...

Replacing the bushing with a stack of washers is the same as using rod ends (just as stiff). Kind of a half *** way to do it though - but probably a 'test' to try out some time @ the track.

If you know someone with a lathe get them to spin you up some bushing with a harder material(can't think of any off the top of my head right now). I used some unused energy suspension control arm bushings before i made my own Z10 style setup.
