I just wanted to know the price range for the Illuminas for a '90 CRX and how well they perform with a drop of about 2" or 2 1/2". Is the ride less harsh then if you dropped the car with your stock shocks?

I picked them up for 330 with free shipping when I had mine. I had them on my civic and they were awesome. And I was dropped 2 1/2 on skunk2 springs as well. Don't hesitate to buy them. You can't beat them for the price. They rock!

I got mine with some H&R sports which is like 1.5 to 1.75 in drop and I love em, I love the adjustable dampening feature. You can soften em up for daily driving and tighten up for the track.

To do it right Koni sports should be used with anything more than 1.75" of lowering. Why? because Illuminas are stock lenght, meaning there is very little suspension travel. Without proper travel your car won't ride as it should. Also the reduced travel with high spring rates means the life of the strut will be reduced.
