Honda CIVIC EF CRX SINGLE CAM (Rr FORK) 1989-1991 — Coilovers

The EF-generation Civic and CRX were among the first compact Hondas to run double-wishbone geometry at all four corners, and that fork-mounted rear knuckle is exactly what makes the platform respond so sharply to a proper coilover. Factory ride height and soft damping mask what the chassis can really do. A set of XYZ Racing coilovers for the Honda Civic EF CRX Single CAM (Rr Fork) 1989-1991 hands back control over corner balance, camber gain and body movement that the SOHC car never had from the showroom floor.

This is a family listing covering the full XYZ Racing range for the HN12 chassis, from fast-road damping through to circuit and stage-rally builds. Pick the spec that matches how you drive: weekend B-roads, grassroots time attack, or keeping a 35-year-old momentum car planted when it matters.

What this coilover does for your 1989-1991 Honda CIVIC EF CRX SINGLE CAM (Rr FORK)

Because the EF is light – comfortably under a tonne – it reacts hard to spring-rate and damping changes a heavier car would barely register. Dropping the centre of gravity tightens turn-in and removes the soft initial lean the standard car relies on. Independent height adjustment lets you set corner weights and recover real negative camber on the double-wishbone rear, so the inside tyre stays loaded through the apex. On the single-cam cars, where you carry speed rather than lean on power, a flatter and more predictable platform is worth more than most bolt-ons. Adjustable damping firms things up for track sessions and softens off again for broken UK tarmac, all without touching the ride height you have set.

About the coilover range

XYZ Racing coilovers are full-bodied units with threaded lower mounts, giving ride-height and spring-preload adjustment independently of one another, paired with adjustable damping across the range. Each kit is built around the actual strut and fork dimensions of the EF chassis rather than a universal fitment, so stroke and spring rates are matched to the car’s light kerb weight. The family spans eight specifications – Super Sport and Street Advanced for fast road, Top Sport and Circuit Master for track, Racing Spec for competition, Drift Spec, and Tarmac Rally plus Gravel Rally for stage use – each with its own rate and damping target. The hardware is built to be serviceable and rebuildable, which counts for a lot on a chassis this old, where you want parts you can refresh rather than bin.

Fitment for the Honda CIVIC EF CRX SINGLE CAM (Rr FORK) (1989-1991)

This kit is listed for the HN12 Honda Civic and CRX running the single-cam engine and the fork-type rear suspension, covering model years 1989 to 1991. Confirm your car uses the rear fork knuckle rather than a later multi-link arrangement before ordering, as that is the defining fitment detail for these coilovers.
