I got a 85 CRX Si and I want to put better suspension on it preferably coilovers, I found a set for the rear but not for the front. Would I be able to put civic coils on my car?

You have a little bit of reading to do.  These cars have torsion bar front suspension setups, which means there's no spring (coil).  For an off the shelf kit, you're pretty much stuck with Teins (http://www.heeltoeau...89-integra.html) with thicker torsion bars (http://www.heeltoeauto.com/medieval-pro-upgrade-motoring-torsion-bar-sets-1984-87-civic-crx-1986-89-integra-24-27.5-29-31-mm.html) and an adjustable panhard bar (http://www.heeltoeauto.com/cheddas-auto-fully-adjustable-street-panhard-bar-84-87-civic-crx-86-89-integra.html)

Thank you I heard of the front with no spring but I was unsure about that plus I haven't really touched anything but the engine.

That last link of Niccer's should state "adjustable panhard bar", not "adjustable torsion bar". But, he covered it all well, just a simple opps.
