Front and back ?

I need to buy a setup just seeing what best to use.

You know, CRX with an R, as opposed to CRX without an R, which would be a CX, which would be a Civic but not a CRX.

Sorry, couldnt resist.

As for the original question:

You are telling us that you have a swap. So, that will alter the rates somewhat based on the weight of the engine versus a CRX with the 1.6 D16a6 Si motor. If you have the eqiuvalent of the stock one and are new to SCCA or NASA road racing consider either Skunk 2 or Ground Control sleeves and 500 front/400 rear. We use Koni "yellow" shocks with a variation of these spring rates and the car is fine with the stock motor. I must note that if you plan to street drive the car-it will be stiff compared to the stock rates and shocks.

I noticed in you pictures the mention of a 5 lug conversion. This setup will not be legal for SCCA Improved Touring. What happens with autocross is another matter. Also, you mention a supercharger-for sanctioned roadracing there are no classes that I know of that permit this as an ADD-ON device. This is just a heads up. If you plan to do HPDE events-that is an entirely different deal.
