My 99 HRG 4" lifted CRV RD1

Some info on my 4" HRG lifted CRV EX.

[@tongchang6198]

About time someone did a video on HRG lower subframes drop kit. Very good info makes me want to lift my crv again. Keep the videos coming.

[@crv_tom]

Thanks man I plan to.👍👍👍

[@nurburgflip1188]

I just completed the Mojave Trail with a all stock 99 with street Michelins. My biggest issue was the exhaust and rear subframe catching rocks. I got real good at driving on the edge to keep from hanging up. It even climbed that rutted up section on the other side of Fort Piute with no problems. Thanks for the ideas on the lift.

[@crv_tom]

Awesome man sounds like it was a good time!

[@joshdane5657]

I got gsp axles In my b20b EF sedan they do work great for the price love the crv man u did a great job on it

The comment about napa axels is very true. Napa has the best axels.

[@jg2wheels]

I'm doing a 1" front lift and 1.5" rear on my 99. Do you think I will need the Truhart camber arms for the rear, and will the regular Truhart front control arms work, or will I need their lifted arms?

[@chayneyshuck5503]

What size tires is that? Nevermind I found it in the comments lol my bad.

[@SeanRademeyer]

Great looking CR-V 👌🏻 Just want to make sure I’m understanding the purpose here; the lift kit raises the whole car higher off the ground (so you gain ground clearance), but then the subframe drop lowers the underside of the car again, which results in your body being higher off the ground, so your approach, departure and break over angles are better, but you didn’t really gain any ground clearance now?

[@crv_tom]

Basically what's happening is you lifting the body up (4in in my kit) but you need to drop the subframe down or back down a little so that the axles aligned and the steering rack with no issues you're only dropping that down a inch and a half the CR-V already comes with pretty decent ground clearance so it's not too big of a worry but you're allowing the body Thule Tire also creating more flex room for the wheel at least as much as these suspensions can do

[@SeanRademeyer]

@@crv_tom So am I correct in saying then that, if you only lift the body by 2.5" (and not 4" like in your case), you don't have to drop the subframe again?

[@crv_tom]

Yep you would be good to go there anything about 3in you will want to do a subframe drop although for 2 and 1/2 you were still going to want to do a trailing arm spacer

[@SeanRademeyer]

@@crv_tom Awesome! Thanks for the info!

[@darothc]

You also can run bigger tires, which give you more ground clearance.

[@josemanuelfontanezdelvalle7863]

Why didn’t you go with NAPA axles all around? Also, why didn’t you go with HRG full kit? I do agree HRG does look better while HRG minimal components does look more OEM. The bling also comes with a price tag tho 😂

[@josemanuelfontanezdelvalle7863]

Whoah I also notice the fuel line, did you do an oem spec upgrade? Looks good!

[@davidramos8001]

very nice sweat looking ride

[@nini-nf4iv]

Hello, please whats brand is the grill guard/bull bar on the front bumber please

[@crv_tom]

At this time it was the Black Horse Bull Bar they make them for the rd1.

[@leeblair1894]

I was wonder why you wrapped the exhaust manifold? Do you have headers?

[@crv_tom]

To reduce the heat in the engine bay, yes, it was in 1320 Toda style aftermarket header.

[@Justnvrfld99]

Is it possible to get a list of parts that goes with the HRG Lift

[@crv_tom]

All the parts that come with the kit are listed on the website at hrgengineering.com

[@coreykemp1200]

Great CRV, but had a few questions about the HRG site. I’m new to modifying cars, and the subframe drop kit only comes for the 97-01 CRV, as well as the lift kit being for the Element. Do all the parts still work properly in a 2004 CRV or would I need to look elsewhere? If so, where do you recommend?

[@crv_tom]

I'm not sure what's going on with his website I did see some things were kind of messed up I think hes working on fixing knows but yes if he offers a kit for that make and model it will work just make sure it's for your make and model you won't be able to use other kits without modifying them.

[@arnaldorivera7031]

Any suggestions on a head? I want a lil more power pick up. Nonetheless you have inspired me to lift my Crv about 2 weeks ago. I used truhart “lift” coilovers. But decided that I should prob get a refurbished head to make sure this car will last me a lil while I am going to dump large amounts of money into it. I heard this my CRV ex has a b20 engine and you can find vtech heads for the suckers. I know that the v tech kicks in at higher rpms so I am not sure if it is worth it (only on the highway, I guess, i don’t have a led foot around town)

[@arnaldorivera7031]

Anyway I’m not sure where to start and was having the community would have an idea.

[@crv_tom]

Definitely look for a B16 or a B18 GSR head they would be very nice upgrade for the CR-V just make sure you get the kit and everything you need and it would be a nice swap and you would need the righty see you preferably one with hondata s-300 so that way you could tune it a little bit you would be happy in the long run if you did that trust me

Can you do my 2008 CRV? Lift, wheel spacers, engine drop, axles and all? I am afraid I do not know anything about autos and engines.. Are u based here in the Pacific North West?

[@crv_tom]

I would look around and talk to your local shops I am in the Midwest so I wouldn't be of any help but I'm sure you can find somebody if that's the route you want to take and have someone do it.

[@aroonmohip448]

can you link the napa axcels please..

[@crv_tom]

You can either look up napa.com or go to your local NAPA Auto Parts store if you have one

[@dewaynetincher1430]

Good advice

[@dewaynetincher1430]

Also make sure your bushings and ball joints ect. Are all good I bought new shocks at rock auto for my crv for 9 bucks a peace they are doing wonderful for the price cant complain

[@crv_tom]

Yes sir always do that! All of the basic maintenance and suspension maintenance have been done on my vehicles by me before I mod them.

[@joevo3]

Very handsome car... Can the driveshaft handle the stress.

[@crv_tom]

Still running the stock driveshaft with no issues that almost 200,000 miles in my 99, however the driveshaft finally did go around 240,000 in my 2000 so I just replaced it and was good to go But as far as my 99 nope still oem drive shaft.

Are you asking about the MSD blaster coil 2?

So it's a stronger coil and with bigger plug wires and hotter plugs it helps with better spark and the low end and all the way through there's some info if you search that will tell you even more about it! Hope that helps a little 👍👍👍

[@jimmytran7097]

Why you go with the regular truhart upper control arm in stead of the lifted version? Benefits and cons?

[@crv_tom]

Nope they are great but they were not available when I started this been doing it for over five years they just started making them last year.

[@crv_tom]

In fact when I made this video they weren't even out yet.

[@jimmytran7097]

Okay I was trying to figure out what to get i got the same lift space you have need to get subframe spacers got the acceleration wobble. Did you have to relocate your rear brake lines? They are just dangling and I can't find any extended aftermarket ones

[@crv_tom]

No I did not relocate them you can drill and move them up a little but I just let them dangle because they really have given me no problems and are still within the range of flex

It aligns all of the drive train and the axles and the motor so that everything lines up as if it was stock while still being able to lift the vehicle

On the rear differential I mean

[@crv_tom]

Yeah it's a common problem mine does it every now and then but it still hooks and still works pretty decent I don't plan on upgrading until it finally breaks I haven't had it fail on me yet.

[@crv_tom]

But when it does come time to upgrade I would definitely recommend the viscous coupler and a custom driveshaft and a element differential or eliminate the dual pump set up in the stock death and do the HRG clutch disk and that would definitely be a sick set up
