ok if u have been reading if u have 88 they wont fit unless u change ur lower control arms, if u have 89-91 they will fit. 88 is the only year they are diff, they go inside of the arm not over the arm. so if u get those off ebay and get some lcas off a 89 or 91 they will work un less they are for 88 spec..... nuff said. and coil overs will work without or with stock struts

I don't think anybody mentioned this. If your going to lower your car, the first thing you will need is a camber kit(at least on the front end), unless you want to buy new tires every 5k miles. When i bought my crx, it had lowering springs on it, without a camber kit. The front tires wore out on the inside edge in no time. I simply ordered some new stock springs, whick raised it back up and put the tires back at the correct camber, instead of getting a camber kit. I did'nt like the lowered back jarring ride. It did handle better, but i'm not into autocrossing or racing.

The LCA's are different, I forgot, my bad.

All the cars I have had, I changed out the LCA to the box'd style.

Just go pull some off of a car at the junkyard, and box weld them, makes them stronger and not flex. Makes a HUGE difference. Tightens up the rear a lot.

You have gotten a ton of good advice on here, what have you decided?

Full coilovers, or sleeves, and struts?
