Difference between coupe and SI suspension

alright guys, I know this has probably been covered, but I can't find anything. I have 01 dx/lx coupe coilovers on my EP3 (sucks, don't ask). My question is, aside form the ABS retainer bracket missing, what is different about them.

1. Is the only difference spring rates and shock rates?

2. Are the struts the same but just different springs?

3. If I were to get springs for the car and use stock struts would I buy EP3 specefic springs or should I get some for an 01 dx/lx?

4. Also, for the Eibach Sportlines (1.4 I think) are camber kits needed for front/back?

Thanks a lot.

1) probably a difference in springs
2) I dunno and it really doesn't matter. Lowering on OEM shocks is still a bad idea.
3) The springs rates and heights will be different because of engines and the layout of the car. Full coils will work but any progressive spring will not.
4) Camber kits are recommended for any drop. You can live without them, but start saving for tires.

Read the FAQ once more too.
