Strut Tower Braces Applications
Just like to know guys, does any of the strut braces, front & rear fits between all variants of civic and rsx? ie, eg. would the ones that are for rsx fits civic coupe or si? or would the ones for sedan fits the si? thanks 
Yes, it's an Acura EL

ES (sedan) and EM (coupe) essentially share a suspension so anything that fits the coupe will fit the sedan and vice versa.
DC5 (RSX), EP3 (Si), EM, and ES can all use the same rear upper strut bar, as well as rear sway. I'm not entirely sure if DC5 and EP3 front uppers are interchangable with the EM/ES. The bolt pattern at the top of the strut towers is the same for all four, but I don't know if the RSX/Si strut towers are spaced differently.

Rep Power: 412 Some will fit some won't. I know the spoon DC5/EP3 one will fit an EM/ES. The rear strut bars may or may not fit also because of the hatch style in the DC5/EP3. It is a guessing game until someone tries. The DC5 and EP3 would have better matching strut bars and so would the ES and the EM.
Do you have the 5 door hatch VTi in Australia? I think it would be more comprable to the EP3 here in terms of layout. Do you have the civic type R in australia? Might want to take some measurements.

Rep Power: 412 They all share the same chassis, so some of the parts from the DC5/EP3 will fit the EM/ES. But it is trial and error.
