Don't buy cheap springs!! They suck, and so do the tokicos, we've blown like 4 sets up. Go with the KYB AGXs and get either Ground Control (Eibach) or a full coil like Eibach or H&R. The extra $100 or so is worth it. If you get the ES hyperflex kit, make sure you get the black kit, it won't squeak like the red can.
A descent roll cage for a street car isn't necessary, but mine helped stiffness a lot, it'll cost a lot though, look for a fit one like an autopower cage, something bolt it, they work great for street apps. To really feel better response get strut braces (at leaset front) and sway bars (suspension techniques work great). If you want better response for cheaper, do your bushings and the sway bars, it'll make the biggest difference, do it all, and you'll be driving a go-cart.

- I have skunk 2 coilovers, and tokiko struts on the CRX and the struts hold the wheels to the ground but that bitch bounces like a ****! I would go with a little better strut if I had to do it all over again.
a roll cage will stiffin the hell out of your car.
- a good DIY thing you can do, and cheap, and it works. just weld a decent peice of tubing across the strut towers in your trunk. I will post a picture later of what I am talking about. it will help out alot! even on stock suspension.
- who had the DIY roll cage for 300-? is there a web site for that?
- also, revs29k, so you still wanna sell that head?
- and yes, I would do it all at the same time, if you can afford it.
