the spring rates can be seen below as far as helping you out a bit.
SI spring rates:
Front 200 lbs. / inch
Rear 230 lbs. / inch
This means that the DX, LX, and EX Coupe rates are approximately:
Front 170~175 lbs. / inch
Rear 200 ~ 205 lbs. / inch
This is taking into account the Si front rates are listed by Honda as being 17-18% stiffer and the rears are 14-15% stiffer than regular Coupes.
And obviously there is the ability to swap out the SI sway bars as well which are much thicker.
again - nice writeup.

Thanks Webby. Do you know if there is a relative ride height drop going from the EX to Si springs?
I also wanted to point out that the EX is lighter by a small margin vs the Si, so the stiffer spring rate in the Si's isn't a completely linear % increase when used on the EX.
