Default About to upgrade some of my suspension, need to check something.

just wanted to check and make sure, algthough im almost positive what the answer is, but just to double check. im about to buy some koni yellows and h&r race springs for my 88 crx hf. because of the swap i just installed the complete spindle from an 88 crx si for the fronts. will this conflict with anything if i order everything for the 88 crx hf?

Im gonna do something similar but haven't decided what all yet. There are a number of other bushings that should be replaced, including I think lower control arms. At least on a later model HF (don't know if yours qualifies) the total cost of bushings is around 320 to 350 (the ES ones plus the honda/greddy extras).

Issues are the difficulties of replacing some of the bushings. You need an 80 ton press or have a friend or a machine shop that has one.

I changed mine with a 12 ton press. They were a little stubborn but i got it done.
