questions on sedans

currently im driving a Coupe...

my gf and i recently just has a baby... so coupe is a no more for me... my back is hurting getting in and out the back with the car seat...

anyways my question is, on the sedan, EX model (or whatever is the highest 4dr civic model) would i be able to use some of my suspension setup...

i have H&R springs, DC Front Strut Bar, DC Lower Rear Tie, 19mm RSX Rear Sway...

i drive a 2002 Si (U.S. is Ex)... im not looking for '04+ coz i can use my cf hood... what about an '03 would i be able to use all my parts?

Thanx

if the H&R springs were designed for a coupe, then you will get a saggy rear if you put it on to the sedan. it's possible to put them in, yes, but it will just look funny with the nose pointed up. everything else you listed will fit a-okay.

if you got an 03, same thing. just make sure about the springs.

I can't answer many of your questions, but I *CAN* confirm the saggy rear... my teins leave much to be desired :-/

But I can say that a clean sedan looks way better than a clean coupe. Sedans have just as much power, more room, same great milage... you'll be pleased.

Even my "saggy" rear isn't really saggy, it's only lower than the front. Enjoy!

i thought that the 03 LX and EX had a rear sway bar installed from the factory. it was a new thing.

i could be wrong thouhg. please check the suspension forum

any of the DX/VP models do NOT have rear sway bars but not sure if they do or do not have endlinks. 02 and up LX models have rear sway bars.
