XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Honda CIVIC EF CRX TWIN CAM (Rear FORK) 1989-1991

The EF-generation CRX is a featherweight on torsion bars up front and an independent rear that was already sharp from the factory – which is exactly why fitting modern coilovers transforms the car so dramatically. The XYZ Racing Street Advanced coilover for the Honda Civic EF CRX Twin Cam (Rr Fork) 1989-1991 swaps that 35-year-old damper geometry for a height-adjustable, damping-tuneable platform that lets the chassis show what it can actually do.

This is XYZ’s road-and-track flagship – the kit they refined first and the one most owners of an EF chassis end up running. For a sub-1,000kg hatch with twin-cam revs and a willing front end, it’s the spec that matches the car’s character without turning a useable daily into a stripped-out cup car.

What this coilover does for your 1989-1991 Honda Civic EF CRX

Lower the CRX onto a properly valved coilover and the first thing you feel is the steering weighting up over centre – the original rubber-bushed strut tops were always the limiting factor on turn-in response. The 720-position damping adjuster lets you run a softer rebound setting for B-road compliance, then wind in compression for circuit work without touching the spring. Body roll drops noticeably, which matters on a short-wheelbase car that previously relied on outright grip to hide its weight transfer. The rear end stays settled under trail-braking instead of pogo-ing on broken surfaces, and the front no longer crashes through its limited bump travel on motorway expansion joints. Ride height is fully adjustable, so the stance can be set for the wheel and tyre combination already on the car rather than dictated by a fixed-drop spring.

About the Street Advanced coilover

The Street Advanced is XYZ Racing’s most-fitted kit, developed over years by the factory’s professional team and proven in international race competition before being released as a road product. Each damper carries 720 individual damping settings on a single click-detent adjuster, covering everything from supple weekend cruising through committed track-day work. Construction is a fully threaded body for ride-height adjustment independent of damper travel, with pillowball top mounts where the chassis allows. It is positioned as the do-everything spec – the kit XYZ themselves recommend for a car that needs to commute on Monday and corner on Sunday. For drivers who want one suspension setup that genuinely handles both jobs, this is the platform the rest of the XYZ range is built around.

Fitment for the Honda Civic EF CRX TWIN CAM (Rr Fork) 1989-1991

This kit is fitted specifically to the HN13-coded Honda CRX twin-cam with the rear fork-style lower arm, built 1989 to 1991. The fork-rear suspension layout is distinct from the later double-wishbone EG cars, so confirm the chassis code on the VIN plate before ordering – it must match HN13.
