does anyone have an 88 and what do you guys use? just springs or what?

The '88 CRX rear LCAs are the same as an ITR. Suspension kits should be available for the '88.

Another option would be to swap in the the LCAs from a '89-'91 and then you'll have other options available.

What do you plan on doing with the car? That will make the biggest impact on any recommendations anyone can make.

well im wanna put a full suspension kit on it and poly bushings and **** blah blah. how much is an ITR suspension swap (F&R) i like that idea with the discs and all. its gonna be race prepped basically as i hope to someday make this strictly a track car only.

for now its just street but id like to be trackable as well. something along these lines :

i'm using itr rear lca's on my ef hatch.

you can order an 88 crx si specific coilover kit from most reputable manufacturers though - and they will bolt right up. :)

in many cases, the itr and crx si have the same p/n's for the rear suspension components for this exact reason. :)

oh yeah, and I'd recommend off the shelf koni yellows (adjustables) and ground control coil over sleeves. pick you rates and you're good to go. :)

Ken's car is a bit different from normal EFs. :eek:

All the CRX stuff from year to year interchanges, and so does the DA stuff. I am pretty sure the ITR stuff bolts up too.
