'98 HX VS '99 Si suspension?
So, do these things exist? '99 Si coupe? Not sure if I've seen one, but it has some intersting bits that I'd bring many wrenches to Pull-A-Part for my '98 HX coupe...
In my quest for stiffer/sportier suspension, I find lowered springs/ride height... or packages that may be too sporty for everyday use (my objective: firm it up, reduce body roll, stock ride height, CHEAP heehee).
My questions is: What are my odds of finding used, and does anyone know of the quality / handling aspects of this car?
From: http://www.superstreetonline.com/roadtests/3113/
"The suspension has been tweaked via special Honda Progressive Valve (HPV) struts, stiffer springs (25 percent up front, 33 percent in the rear, compared to the Civic EX), a 26mm stabilizer bar in the front (4mm larger than the EX), and a 13mm bar in the rear. Vented discs (10.7-inch front, 9.4-inch rear) reside at the corners, as do standard 15-inch alloy wheels and 195/55R15 tires. "
Thanks,

Re: '98 HX VS '99 Si suspension? (QuickHX)
So your askin if they made a 99 SI? Yes they made one. Suspension differences? Im not sure... I would think that the SI would be a littel stiffer....so you could prolly pick it up cheap.(The used Suspension)
