{threadjack in progress...} The TEIN's are worth every penny and more. I received an Email from a guy explaining that the TEIN's were only for the USDM 88 CRX/Civic...but they work on the 88-91 JDM CRX and Civics...the US market calimed they did not like the lower Rear Control Arms design on the 88, so the 89 modles went to the fork design....something to do with the mushyness of the bushing...it made the 88 habdle like a RWD car, with a lot of oversteer, normal people didn't like it, but later racers found they can rotate the car quiker for the autocrosses...so it became a highly saught after part...

After readding that, I looked into it a little, and what do you know...he is correct....

So know I see these shocks sitting here and I almost had the urge to go out and buy an 88 CRX, and run with them...but I am not a sec gen CRX guy....and I have enough cars already. But I did study them and tryed to think of a way to fab them to my 1st gen CRX...so I could kick some major ass this year in autocross...but I found out that I would litterally have to scrap the existing subframe and weld a lot of new stuff to it....and I don't have the time to do that at this time...so they went up for sale. And also the 88 CRX lowwer RCA's can be simplely swapped on to the 89-91's

The wife found them in Japan on her visit, and she bought them at a good price, then she took them to a performance shop, and had them checked. They checked good, and had no leakdown pressure or loss of oil/gas. But if they did, they are fully rebuildable...then she lugged them home and packed them, and she is not a big person, and they are a lot heaveier than she though. And then she lugged them to the post office and shipped them. And she did not take a taxi/train/car/bike...she didn't have any...SOOoooo....this information in mind... makes it worth the little money that she is asking for.

Lowballers are starting to annoy me....
