Sorry for such the newb question but what free length spring should I run on the rear of a 87 CRX?

I read the FAQ and some posts and they all seem to point to something in the 6"-8" range.

This will be for a track only CRX on shortened Koni shocks.

 

I ran a coil-over set up with 6 inch tall springs on the rear of my 1st gen SCCA GT-4 CRX. I had to fabricate an upper spring perch out of some aluminum plate with a hole in the middle of it to go where the original rear spring seated. I didn't see any other way to do it, and it worked out well.

 

I run 6 inch 600lb ERS springs in the rear. I am using Tokico adjustables. I am exactly in the middle of the adjustment range of my OPM coilover sleeves.

 

Thanks for the replies. Time to go spring shopping.

 

Hey, hold up on the shopping. I'll give you a call later. I may have more parts to donate to the project (just need to measure the length).

Just make sure you buy Eibach

 

I am using 8 inch, but I have a slightly different setup than most...



Also, i'm not using the tender spring anymore, and I have removed the lower spring perch as it should be, I don't know why I left it on there in the first place. The spring is 2.25", btw.

 

Thanks for the visual RPR. BTW I like your web site, very hard to find GOOD 1st gen CRX info out there.
