the answer
i got an 88 crx si i just did tein ss drop springs with tokico blue strut.
sweet ride and it lowers like 2".
i have a b16 all motor swap and it launches hard with this setup
i got all the setup for under 800.00 and i installed it my self,i work at a shop thow.
very easy to do and good ride.

tell ya what i have a set of teg srings(arospeed) and a set of ground controls. i cant tell a diff in them way they ride. so if your keeping ur stock struts go for a little cheaper set and then buy a good set of coilovers.

Dude, do research!
YES they will fit your car. No they donot "bolt in".
You compress the stock spring/strut assembly (with a spring compressor).
Remove the nut at the top, relieve the pressure from the spring, and slip the coilovers over the strut, and put it all back together.
You are going to kick yourself in the @ss if you just buy coilovers and keep your stock struts.
They wont increase the ride quality or handling unless you match them with a good strut.
But.. if you want to be like every other highschool kid out there, and screw up bushings and throw the geometry of your suspension (good handling) out the window, then go ahead.
