Default help me choose the right suspension setup.....

I am ready to buy the Tein RA setup. I know I have to switch the rear lower control arms to 88 CRX (or ITR) units. Where does that leave me for rear sway bar options? I was looking into progress suspension sway bars, but they have a side note that says you must change the rear LCA's to 92-95 civic LCA's, if you have an 88 CRX!! Also I was looking at the sperical bearings from progress, they also have a side note to change to 92-95 civic LCA's if you have an 88 CRX!
I need to know what rear sway bar will be compatible with the Tein RA suspension on a 90 HB?

Also: Will I need a front and rear camber kits with the Tein RA suspension? It has the upper pillow mounts inculded, so will that take care of all my camber adjustment issues?

Thanks homies!!

Just wondering why you're wanting to go thought all this trouble?

TEIN HA's will work just fine. A lot cheaper too.......$600+ cheaper.

I agree with the other guy. The HA will handle nicely and you will have more money to spend on other parts. You probably don't have to change out the lower control arm if you get HA's either. Pillow mounts for civics don't have camber correction so if you drop your car alot it will be better to get a camber kit for front and back.

Tein no longer offers the HA.

I want a suspension that I can "grow" into..not one that I am going to "max out" the first time I hit the track with it. I want something stiff, adjustable, lightweight, quality, rebuildable.....that is what led me to Tein...I am still open to suggestions....I have about $1500 to spend today!
