Hi All,

I am looking at purchasing an 07/08 CRV and had a few questions.


1) How easy is it to lower the CRV and is it very costly compared to a sedan? (Doesnt need to be under the guards but sort of like the last pic maybe?)

2) Can u purchase Aero / Mugen Kits in Aus not from Honda and if only from Honda whats a realistic price on a kit?


I have seen a few pics on here and really like the look of them Lowered with some nice wheels..what size do u think the wheels are in the following pics?

Im looking to trade in my XR6 Turbo as 20l/100km with 98RON is a joke and a little more boot space would be nice.

I know the CRV wont push me back in my seat but im more looking for a nice ride with decent Fuel economy...Around 10l/100km be nice.

Thanks :P

i am pretty sure that they use the air suspension,

if you want cheap buy lower spring + use stock suspension, it wont go that low (the mag go in the wheel arc). But few months later your stock suspension definetly will be fak if you drive too much on bumpy road since i had experienced with this.
