Si hatch suspension work with coupe/sedan?

Is it interchangable with the coupe/sedan? I discovered the full coilovers I want are only being made for the new Si hatch. It's been verified that the front struts will fit on our cars but the springs?

I believe si spring work fine for our civic, cuz last month i had asked Comptech. This is what they said!, right now I am waiting Comptech spring for my 2k2 coupe......

Unfortunately, we don't plan on making any performance parts for the 2001 up
Civic coupe/sedan models due to minimal gains we've found with the regular
bolt on parts. As far as suspension goes, the springs we have coming out for
the new Civic SI should work fine for your model. That will probably be the
only thing that will work. Other than that, that's about it from us. The
springs will probably be available before Christmas. Thanks.

When you are talking about springs, they would be more probable that they will fit. When you get to struts and stuff like that, RSX parts have a better chance of fitting a Si more than a coupe or sedan. Remember, we do not have rear discs and those two cars do.

So what does that mean? Find and crashed RSX or Si and do a rear brake conversion!

Hmm... are there any differences in the rear disc brakes from the Coupe and the Type S? Heh... more money to spend (not even sure if it's worth it). I dunno! How exactly does a rear disc brake conversion go? Like how do you install it is what I'm asking.

Oh, and have you even thought about the # of lugs on an RSX? It's 5, not 4. I'm unsure about the lugs on a new Si.

Hwoody77 can only hope to improve
RSXes are 5 lug and the base RSX has smaller rotors then the Type S. So it is worth the extra money[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG].

you're gonna have to get the hubs from a rsx along with the brakes, because of the 5 lug.

That would be retarted. Why have 4-lugs in the front and 5-lugs in the back? [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

The new Si has 4-lugged wheels and rear disc brakes. That would be the car we should be going after if people will buy them and crash them.

We can always buy them from Honda and you know how much that is going to cost.
