Default New to the EK world!

I just picked up an EK and am parting out my old CRX. I am curious about what suspension and brake components are interchangeable. What if anything is interchangeable? Thanks guys!!!!

Also! If anyone knows the compression ratio of a stock b20 with a b16 head bolted down might be I would appreciate it.

Thanks again!

well pretty much any brakes or suspension from all civic integra platforms and people even use kits form larger honda and acuras, for compression use a compresion calculator
this is for brakes https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/how-put-x-brakes-your-96-00-ek-civic-revised-upgrade-chart-1513752/
this is for compression http://www.c-speedracing.com/howto/c...c/compcalc.php

It also has better cams that don't fall on their face like the ones found on the b20b

Better intake manifold design too
