Dec 5, 2009 update on BanzaiBeast's 1990 Honda CRX Si

Struts

update image

The front of the car needed much attention after it came home. The shocks were adequate for every day driving but the springs were worn out sport versions that sagged so low it would scrape going in the driveway.

The rear struts were simple, they came off the Integra and bolted right onto the CRX. The front is a different story - I had to buy some different shocks. The new Koni SPS3 sport shocks are designed 20 mm shorter than the regular Koni Sports. Since this car will live at a lowere ride height these will be perfect. The Ground Control coil over kit from the Acura will work properly.

Using a set of Skunk2Racing top hats allows the replacement of entire strut units instead of having to tear the old ones apart for the new suspension.

Some of the other bits include the Energy Suspension bushings and ball joint boots.
