Non-Si coupe people using Si suspension....

mcinnism · 09-02-2007, 12:58 PM

I'm probably going to put the front and rear springs and shocks from a Civic Si onto my LX coupe.

I'm wondering if other people who have done this have had troubles with the spring rates (especially the front). Obviously the Si suspension was designed for a larger and heavier engine, and I'm thinking that the difference with the smaller engine may cause the suspension to be out of balance.

Any input? Also, is the Si suspension lower than the regular suspension?

Thanks for the help.

The suspension should bolt right up. The suspension set up is the same. I think the hight should be the same or a little lower. But not that it's really noticeable.

C'mon... this has been discussed before. Search for it! You'll be raising your car if you simply bolt on the stock Si suspension. Unless the springs, dampers and front struts are shorter in length. Which I don't think so.
