Heres a pic of my old crx with H&R Race springs:


The ride was pretty stiff, but not horrible. I'd highly suggest buying performance struts with these spring...if not, then youre in for a bouncy ride.

Overall, they performed extremely well. Zero body roll...

Jorge, if you see this and have a problem w/ me posting pics, let me know and I'll pull it.

If you are lowering your car ALWAYS replace the shocks as well. STock shocks DO NOT belong on lowered cars.

Try Tokico or KYB AGX to go with your springs.

for 17's on a crx. You won't like them and they won't fit worth a damn under a 2.25 drop.... well they actually might if you have 450lb springs with revalve shocks so your car doesn't ever move up and down!

Remember.. big wheels are heavier which actually (on a dyno) reduces horsepower. Also, bigger wheels makes your little brakes look even smaller.

I'd love to see someone in a huge Escalade rollin' 22's with 19" disks!
