Hey everyone I just recently got a 96 Orthia and started doing some work to it. The information on these chassis is limited from what I've seen and I figured I'd share what I've learned so far.

I based all my stock parts searches on 96 models
Ball Joints - Civic
Brake Rotors - Civic
Front Axles - Integra

Coilovers:
I started with a set of Gecko Racing G-Streets for a 97-02 CRV. The reason was because of the rear lower mount type. (Eye type) The rears were a little tall so I worked with Gecko to get new lower tubes on the rear.
The eye mount is 40mm wide with a 10mm hole.

Beyond basic maintenance and coils, I threw on some wheels and now we have a decent start.
Here are a couple pics of when I first got her from the port and yesterday at the grocery store

I'll add more info to this post as I get discover more info. If you have any info on cross-referenced parts, please post it up.

Never heard of that before, looks like it was a Japan only model. Looks to be in really good shape!

Replaced the lift gate shocks today. I cut the originals off the top mounting bracket so that I could reuse the ball mount.

Strong Arm #4573 from Advanced Auto seems to be the winner for universal units.
