The Civic Si kit from Energy Suspension is the one. The 1st gen V's were heavily based upon the Civic.

so this would be the one for the 97 crv ?

I "believe" so. Call Energy Suspension to make double sure. I have seen all kinds of people report that it is correct... but... you would want to make sure.

I ordered this bushing kit from a retailer, energysuspensionparts.com. I left a note in the comments of the order that I was buying it for a '99 Cr-V, asking that they get in touch with me if the kit was not compatible. They wrote me that the kit would not be suitable, and that they did not sell anything that would work for the Cr-V. I canceled the order.

I am surprised either way. If the kit is actually not compatible, that surprises me because I thought the Civic and Cr-V frames and suspensions were similar in model years '97-'01. If the kit is compatible, I'm surprised that the retailer wouldn't know that it is just for the sake of widening their market.

Who knows the answer to the mystery, does energy suspension's civic si bushing kit work for the Cr-V or not?

Without out looking at every single item i can tell you for starters the trailing arm bushings and front sway bar links are different between the CRV and CRV. The front sway bar bushings are the same...but most of the other parts in the kit are likely to be different as well. The CRV and Civic may use simalar platforms...but that doesn;t always equate to the parts being the same.
