Not unless you switch the rear lcas the front pitch arms, adn I'm not sure of the strut mounts. I'm not totally positive either I'm pretty much assumming.

Your pic isn't working... but my understanding is:

Springs yes, shocks no

Even if you made them fit, I would not recommend it for the sake of your ride.

What makes it not worth trying? I got a set of Tein Flex from my 98 Civc and I was going to try. Right now it feels similar to riding in a boat when I'm in my CRX.

Is do to the fact the Civic weighs around 25-2600?
and the
CRX weighs 2200 or less?

What doesn't match up?
