I looking to get a new suspension for my 88 crx.. i want a drop around 2" maybe.?. what would be a good setup that wouldnt cost too much.

 

ghetto or good

 

change ur lcas and then u will have a few more options for shocks.

 

How much $ you got?

I have H&R full coilovers, they are really nice for the street, and I autocross on the weekends.

 

how much?

 

any other good suspension setups?

 

There are a few dealers on ebay that sell Tokico, KYB, and Koni (Koni = $$$) shocks and matching (meaning the spring rate matches the shortened spring) spring sets (1.25" drop front, 1.00" rear; less affect on the camber; 2" drop all around would probably require adjustable camber kits front and rear to keep tire from wearing on the inside edges) for $350 to $500 depending on if you want performance non-adjustable or adjustable shocks.

I ordered from Motorsports Direct, Las Vegas, NV: good service, straight forward transaction. Tokico HP Blues, kept the stock springs.

Other things to look at:
-rear trailing arm bushings (good chance they're trashed on your car)
-adding or changing sway bars
-adding bars on the top of your strut towers (front and rear)

 

First thing is first, ask yourself this:
How much do you want to lower the car (no maybe's), and what are you going to use it for?

My H&R's were 3 months old, got them from a guy for 500$, he had them on a daily driver EF 4 door. was selling the car and wanted to make some cash.

I had to swap out the rear LCA because they were no the fork type, no biggy.

I would recomend swapin yours out as well, it gives you more of a choice as far as aftermarket suspension.

I had Neuspeed/koni adjustables on my 94 Civic, they were nice as well.

If you are not looking for a full coilover set, I would piece it together, and get adjustable shocks (NOT KYB), koni or Tikico IMO are the best bet. and depending on what you want the car to do, get lowering springs, or coilovers.

I had a koni/neuspeed adjustable ride height and dampening shocks, with the omnipower coilover sleeve kit.

Worked great on my EG coupe.

Also, as ChrisS said:
-rear trailing arm bushings (good chance they're trashed on your car)

I would replace these, mine are messed up rm autocross, and im going all poly for my bushings :-)

 

so if i go to omni power and get thier coil-over sleeve kit or nany other sleeve kit wat all else will i have to get to use them???? i am new to the suspension world...??..

 

well if u go omni and they are for the 88 crx only then ya they work. if they arnt all you need is lower control arms off of a 89-91 crx civic or tegs. and others work also i cant remember right now but alot of others work. they look diff but will bolt right in.
