ahhh.. I see your point now, i can totally see sleeves getting bound up on your shock at just the wrong moment during hard driving rather than a threaded body which is muy expensive. i am in the market for a crx and i plan to a-cross and drive hard on the street, i was thinking of skunks or GC's but now i am thinking of just a good lowered setup, can you recommend a good $600 or so price range setup, i care nothing of ride quality i just want stiff, good handling suspension.

i was thinking of h&r race springs, kyb non adj, and ingalls camber kit,

what do you think?

The KYB non adjustables are the only part I dont like there, too much compression on those shocks, you'll be flopping around, unless you throw 20+ mm bars front and rear, If you go KYB go AGX.
Ingalls is great and so are the H&Rs.
think about it

When I ugrade to new shocks and springs, is it necissary to get a camber kit? If so, how much to these cost? Would it also be a good idea to get a poly bushing kit?
Thanks for the help guys.

Well, I recommend a camber kit front and rear any time you go with a drop, that invloves sport suspension. The reason being is that, you want adjustability, one of the nice things about the double wishbone setups is you can really mess with the camber. I have posted ranges you should follow for it on this board and on my site.

From experience you cant tweak the suspensions alignment without a camber kit.

You want negative camber, evne if it is a little, and actually it is allowed and within factory spec, this will also allow you to run cheaper tires if you cant afford the best. More neagtive camber means less work on the side wall under heavy cornering loads. I could go on and on about that, but to answer your other question

Polyurethane bushings are up to you, why?
They are noisy and stiff, personally I think it is a waste unless you race.
Hard rubber bushings are a good alternative. I would recommend them especially for the motor mounts and sway bar(s)
You want a little flex. Urethane motor mounts, are a no no for someone who does not race (drag) the motor was designed to lift and move a bit, also provides more comfort for the driver, that is why the use soft rubber mounts. Now Hard rubber is the middle ground and you dont need to lube it up like urethane. Your choice though.
