Correct me if I'm wrong, but the 88 CRX was one of the rare cars that came stateside with the JDM rear lower control arms. I'm pretty sure that if you have 88 CRX rear LCAs, you can run JDM suspension in the rear. The lower mounting point is different compared to the other years and models of the EF generation.

Contact Tokico They should be able to tell you. But yes the 88s are a different LCAs. They have the Eye at the base of the shock not the fork that is on the 89-91
