Still waiting on the front shocks but I had the rear shocks and springs installed last week and the rear is definitely less droopy now. I tried to do it myself but couldn't break the lower bolts loose and ended up throwing in the towel and taking it to a shop. They had to cut the bolts loose with a torch so I feel like I made the right decision leaving it to a pro. I used the Husky springs and kept the junkyard ones as a backup, no issues with the fit AFAIK.

I got the springs off that 85 Civic but I ordered the Husky springs from RockAuto too. My springs are a bit rusty so I'd just as soon replace them with better ones as long as I'm messing around back there. I also got the KYB rear struts and mounts & bellows from them and the Energy polyurethane bushing kit. I ordered the front struts & mounts from Heeltoe since Rock only had the left one. We'll see what happens...

They should be 4 1/2 diameter and I would be surprised if the were more than 250lb rated. Not seeing spring rates. Civic hatch and CRX shared the same springs and shocks in the rear.
Ah, good to know. One of the yards here got an 85 Civic so I'm going to see what it has on Tues.

Thanks, guys. A search for the spring part number on RockAuto didn't return anything but this is the listing for the springs they have for 1.5L 87 Civics: "https://www.rockauto...il spring,7512" I'm hesitant because none of them specify CRX but do you think any of these cross over? RockAuto doesn't seem to have an option to differentiate between the CRX and other Civics of those years.
I don't generally carry much freight or even a passenger but my car has 285k miles and I've used it to move stuff a few times, and brought 100 lbs of cat litter home from Costco when it was my daily driver, haha...
