Headlights:
I've got a set of the black-housing projectors with blue-ion lense (ordered from www.autodynamic.com). They were for a 90-91 CRX, and they fit right into my 90 hatch. However, they do not match up to the corner lenses... All I had to do to those was grind out a large portion of the corner lense mounting bracket with my dremel tool... It's soft plastic so it's really easy, but on the regular headlights, there's a little tab that sticks off of the mounting bracket that goes into a slot on the corner lenses... It's different on the projectors and doesn't reach the corner lenses... No big deal though, lenses mount fine without it.
The other way around this is to swap the mounting brackets from your old headlights to the new ones, that way the corner lenses will fit without modification, but that's kindof a pain and not really necessary.
The projector headlights are AWESOME, but one problem I ran into is that they extend farther into the engine bay than the stock ones, and I had to push my Intake around to get the passenger side light in properly. Not really a big deal, but they extend over the hole to the air-box resonator, which would make it really hard to install a cold-air intake...
Suspension:
I've also got the Eibach ground-control pro kit, and it doesn't require a camber kit, so If you take it to a shop to have someone put them on, don't let 'em talk you into paying for one.
Anyways, I hope that helps... I'll find a pic of the projectors and post it in a few minutes...
Edit: Oh yeah... I almost forgot, you have to take off you're front bumper to put the headlights in...
PEACE

That kinda sucks man, I have a dx 1990 3dr civic and I modified a ls cold air intake on to my car because I plan on doing an ls engine swap later(intake needs almost no modifying). Anyways I guess I won't be able to have projector lense headlights and my ram air. If I can does anyone know what I have to do?

got no problem with my projectors.
just four screws (2 on top,one side & one below), then my corners fit good.
But I had problems with my CAI, but I got it done & my bulbs fit alright with my intake :)

So, what'd you have to do to get your CAI to fit? Did you enlarge the hole to where the resonator box used to be? Or was it just a tight fit to get the charge pipe in there?

may sound weird, but instead of the bulbs end facing downward, i play with them & place the ends side ways. Hope this helps.:)
