Okay, I'm looking to buy a set of H&R sports (lower 1.75 front and 1.50 rear) from a fellow H-T member for a good deal. I have a 1997 1.6EL (EX sedan) and the springs he's selling are for a 99-00 Si. I know they will fit, but will the difference in spring rates be enough to notice in height/stiffness?

 

IF there is a difference i doubt you will notice

 

Will the difference be really obvious in height? or just stiffness?

 

i think its only 50 lbs difference in the front due to different weeight of engines but not 100% so if you get those springs and it actually drops that far it will be closer to even

 

Has anyone ever attempted this before? I need to know if the change in ride height will be even be noticable over stock...

 

same ****. doesn't matter if it's an SI or not. H&R has the same part numbers for both.

1999 Honda Civic Si
Stage=Sport Spring
Chassis / Drivetrain=2/4 door, Typ MA
Approx. Front Lowering=1.75
Approx. Rear Lowering=1.5
Part Number=51865-2

Obviously they're not EXACTLY the same, otherwise they would have the EXACT same part number, not the "-2" at the end of the Si springs part number.

 

I just wanted to find out if anyone has used 99-00 Si lowering springs on a 96-00 before... and if they had pics of the results.

 

im using 98LX springs on my Si..Progress springs=2'' drop on LX..on my Si, its more like 2.25 almost
