civic si & civic ex suspension
I'm talkin about the newer models... 96-00 ex and 99-00 si... i heard they use the same suspension, (shocks, springs) and are basically the same, but that the si has a front strut bar, rear strut and rear tie bar? Then, someone says that si has a sportier/stiffer shock/spring setup than the ex... does anyone here know? thanks!

The Si has the bars you were mentioning and has slightly stiffer springs and shocks I believe as well. It doesn't take much aftermarket wise to make your car handle better than a stock Si though.

As far as I know the SI uses both stiffer shocks and springs than the EX.

My 22mm Comptech sway/tie bar works amazing. I can't pick much of a better mod. Now i need better seats. SI seats suck the dillz.
