i have a 91 crx si, stock engine and tranny. My axels are shit. my freind has an 89 DX hatch that he is swapping a b16 into his car. He says i can have his axels since he dont need them anymore.. Will they fit in my car with no problems. Also, i am going to be hopefully swapping a b16 into my car in the next few months,hopefully. i also need new springs, struts, brakes, i know i need alot of stuff. i dont want to lower my car much but want sportier springs. I know the b16 weighs more so i want a good set of springs that i can use now but wont have to change later. I am going with tokico blue struts.
For the brakes, i figured an integra master. if there is a better replacement that needs very mods,please let me know. For rotors..... any ideas...please.

as long as its a dx and not a std the axles should work fine.
For the springs, you'll want something with a higher spring rate to handle the extra weight of the motor, and since you don't want to drop it, i'd go with a set of eibachs.

what if it is an std? what tranny would it have. I think it had a 4 speed.

also, if i did go with springs that were a higher rate and stayed with a d16 for awhile, would there be any driveability issues. would it handke shitty.

Just make sure you do your homework on the engine. Other than that it seems like you will be fine :)

std = standard. and if you have a 4 speed thats what it is. which means you can't use dx or si axles.
as for the springs, if you have a higher spring rate with the stock motor in it, its gonna feel kinda bouncy.

also check out the H&R OE springs very mild drop (like .75") and H&R are one of the best spring MFG out there.
