im running springs. If you run coilovers you might blow your struts. The spring rate is horribly high. I would recommend springs. On the forsale section there a set of suspenion teq. and a set of something else for 80 bucks. Cant go wrong with that......

I dont have them but I spoke with D2 racing and they have a part# for our cars now. They are 36 way adj preload and compression and you can preload the spring as well as adj hight. Legend Master is running a set het is where I got the idea. Oh and if they are too stiff they also do custom spring rates all the way down to 200 lbs. Lbs is rated different on a coilover so 200 would be very very light.

hows a 84-87 crx one work? they dont have front springs and the rears have a eye not a fork, unless you mean "adjustable coilover sleve" which in my opinion are a waste of money when you can have a shortened koni and spring
D2 has 3 diff. one's that you can choose from www.speedagency.com
COILOVERS. not springs. well maybe springs. That list is for COILOVERS ONLY i forgot to mention. Prolly springs also

but is that with our top mount off the stock one's
I would stay with new struts and drop springs. I hear Coilover Can blow ur struts out and the ride is to stiff for my likeing.
dam so let me get this straight.. all of those years and modles will fit my 89 lxi? perfectly? just slap em in?
cuz if so, that clearified ALOT of my searching.lol.
