Easy way to find out your chassis code, look at the 4th 5th and 6th characters of your VIN, this is the chassis code. For example my 93 coupes vin goes something like 1HGEJ112... So I have an EJ1, usually shortened to EJ in most cases. Though yours is a 98 its still considered an EJ (EJ8 to be exact) eventhough the chassis is totally different. There actually wasn't any 1996-2000 civic sold in the US that is actually classified as an EK, 99-00 SI is an EM1. The EK is the same generation though, its just that chassis classification was only used abroad (Japan, UK, possibly Canada).

No problem, looks nice too, enjoy. In general though, EG refers to the 1992-95 civics (though technically the 4dr is the only EG) and EK refers to 96-00. Again in general, s no flaming from the picky people out there..

</TD></TR></TABLE>I'm running stock 01 Civic EX 15" steelies so I'm not a good source for rims. I probably have a good $800-$900 more to drop in my suspension before I even consider wheels. Sorry I can't help there. But adding to the rotating mass (adding a wheel heavier than stock) will deminish performance. Just a side note..

And sorry I have heard of ej8squad, but only in someones sig on here.
