Question Will Si suspension parts fit Civic?

I have a friend with an '02 Civic Si, and I have an '01 Civic coupe EX. I'm interested in buying some of his stock parts from him when he upgrades. My question is, will these parts from an Si fit in my EX coupe?

rear sway bar
springs
struts

Of coures, its the same chassis. why would you think that Si suspensions parts would be an upgrade?


we dont know what their spring rates are, we dont konw what the shocks are valved for, they could be the same exact thing for all we know, or practically the same.

Personally I wouldnt do it. there are plenty of inexpensive suspension parts out there that would be much better the stock (SI or not).

Driving the Si feels a lot tighter than the EX, that's why. I'm not a car person, so forgive my obvious ignorance but thanks for the insight.

Dimensionally the Si springs are not the same. Its gonna throw **** off and the car WILL look goofy as hell. Si springs are longer in the front, so they'll lift the front end up. Should make for an amusing look, but certainly not cool or useful.
