Default EM1(Civic Si) = EK? Suspension and all?

I've searched, but I can't find a definitive answer.

Does suspension for an EK (coupe of hatch) fit the EM1 (Civic Si)? Do I need to look for peticular coilover kits made specifically for EM1's?

Any another major difference between the EK and EM1 I need to beaware of? Not just suspension, but any other attributes that would interupt the upgrading process.....

Thanx in advance!

Just so you know, there is no EK coupe. Any 6g coupe, the world over, is an EJ.

the front end (hood/bumper/fenders) and ECU (OBD2a vs. OBD2b) between 96-98 and 99-00 Civics are different

Other than the engine and brakes a 99 EX is the same as a 99 Si. 99% positive

Well I don't believe 96-00 EX's came with rear disc brakes. The Si did however.

OK....Good to know. Back to the original question, with a twist.

Do I still have to run EM1 specific suspension as opposed to EK/EJ? If not.....Do EK/EJ share suspension? As in.....Would I need to look for specific EJ suspension becuase the 2000 Si is a coupe?

Sorry, for what may seem obviouse to you, in the car world I'm from.....coupe's and hatches of similiar chassis have different rear suspension.

If you're asking about the shocks/springs/control arms between the 3 chassis, yes they are all interchangable.
