Default DC5 suspension/brakes swappable onto 01+ Civic (non-si)?

Just curious.

I know that the 02-03 (4-lug) Si rear discs are swappable onto 01+ Civics, but I was curious if the 5-lug from an RSX-S or DC5 ITR (front and rear) would be swappable onto this same chasis?

I've never had much interest in the 01+ Civic chasis because of the weak *** motor, but I've begun to think that the coupe might be a sweet *** ride with some ITR wheels and a k20.... ph34r.gif


P.S. Also, would it be wrong to refer to the afore mentioned chasis as an EM2?


Also, just for reference since I never post in this forum. I'm a hardcore DC2/EG enthusiast and since I own a DC2 ITR, I've never really ventured into this forum. I just like to keep my knowledge up to date.

i think the type r suspension is a little wider than the type s. i know there is someone here with the itr suspension and he can answer your question better than i.

hopefully he'll see this so he can help you.

edit: and yes, the 01+ coupe is the em2, the sedan is "ES" and some number

brakes will fit, but u need the RSX abs sensors

most suspension parts from a dc5/ep3 will fit onto an em2/es1 chassis, which parts exactly do you want to know?

Yes, the S and R suspension are a bolt on affair. The R is wider, and you'll need a higher offset, when choosing wheels.



Here's my setup : MF10's, Mugen Rotors, DC5-R hubs/knuckles/Aluminum A arms, sway's, tie rod ends
