Difference between EP3 and ES1 tein SS? INSTALLED EP3 KIT!!!
is there any difference between these two sets w/o uppermounts?
My local dealer says there isn´t...WTF?
Are spring rates and lenght the same in both kits?
I know that EP3 is Si and ES1... is 4d sedan.
Thing is that they have EP3 SS kit in stock and ES1 kit they dont.
Does it fit with my OE uppermounts from -01 sedan

It should fit with the upper mounts. You have to check the mount holes to see that they are 14mm and make sure the tie rod arm hole is the same size. Call tein and ask.

Rep Power: 0 So,i installed Super street kit today , took me and my friend 4hours to fit.
Only thing that i dont like is that EP3 front springs are 1" longer than ES/EM springs EP3:225mm ES/EM:200mm... So i cant go very low on the front
At rear i can go another inch at least lower. Front i ride lowest setting and i have 1 finger gap...for next summer i´m plannig to get new front springs from tein...maybe 175-180mm and same rate as now. then i´m low with SS.
However ride feels great and handling in sweet as it can be.
My dampers are set to 4 of 16...I´m going to test stiffer settings tomorrow.
