I can believe it...they're overpriced ------' junk. Was kinda hard for me to get mine mixed up though, the fronts were tagged 400lbs and the rears were tagged 350. With a d-series still up front it hit bumps like it had hydraulics, at least with a b-series now it softened up a little. The back still bounces pretty bad though...nothing like cutting through a tight curve at 65-70mph and running over a little bump and have the ass end of the car break loose :l

I have h&r springs, and stock struts and lower shock forks from a 91 teg on my 90 crx. about 1/2 to 3/4 lower than stock because of the longer teg forks, but it handels like it was 2 1/2 lower like h&r said it would be. Its a pretty stiff ride, but not to bouncy.I also have the larger stock front teg swaybar on my crx to. HYBRID BOYYYYYYYY

Get rid of that teg front bar and at least drop down to a dx bar. HF would be optimal for the front. I ran DA bars both front and back in my hatch when I put it back on the road and I had to dial my shocks down to the softest settings just to get some body roll through a corner. Even then it wanted to skip through the turns like a stone across the water. Popped in my old dx bar and left the rear DA bar, turned the shocks back up a bit and now she sails right on through the twisties. :) If I ever get motivated enough I'll make a write-up on how to put a DA rear sway bar on a dx chassis with no mount welding and using factory bolt holes. ;)

IM still running the stock rear Si swaybar, So I havent had my car skip through a single turn yet. My cars weakest link now is my 195/60-14 ze-512, mabey if I had better tires it would go to the point of skipping. But untill then my car dose great.

If you're happy with it that's all that counts. :) I just wasn't a big fan of the understeer I got with that big of a front bar. I'm more of an oversteer person, although people who are used to the understeer will usually wipe out faster when trying to drive a car with alot of oversteer. You kinda hit a fine line limit with oversteer, but add in a little mid-apex braking and the car just snaps right through. :D As soon as I can find a decent set of 15" wheels I want to hit the auto-x tracks and try and beat my 38sec. 1/2 mile time.

If you can get them for a good deal then I would recomend them, But I would also get some better struts so you dont blow out the stock ones.
