Default Si parts on an EM2?

hey guys. sorry for the noob question -- i searched bit didn't find anything quite applicable -- but I'm wondering, do 01+ si hatch parts (specifically suspension bits) fit on an 01+ civic coupe?

i have just purchased an '04 civic ex coupe, and i'm fairly happy with it, but it's got more body roll than i'd like. unfortunately, suspension options on the EM2 appear to be fairly limited... koni yellows and ground controls are alright enough for dampers, but i can't seem to find any decent swaybars. the car understeers more than i'd like, some of which i can dial out with tire pressure, but i just can't find a decent selection of swaybars (or camber plates, for that matter).

my question: will Si parts fit on the civic coupe, or is it feasible to adapt them? the si seems to have a good selection of parts i'd like.

alternately: are there any good sources of parts for the EM2? it seems to be largely overlooked in favor of its obviously quicker cousin, but perhaps I'm simply not looking in the right places.

thanks!

for rear swaybars you can pick up some dc5 19mm or some dc5r 22mm rears. neuspeed makes a 22mm with a bracket.

i personally have the 19mm on stock endlinks and it works fine for me.

as for si parts, i know you can take the rear discs and they bolt right up to replace the silly looking drums.

but as pon55 said, 7thgen has some alot of info. search through it

Everything but the front sway bar as far as I'm aware.
You can't use drop springs because they aren't the right length, but coilovers pop right in. Just make sure for an 01 EM2 you use 02 EP3 coilovers with 14mm crash bolt holes.
I had a set of EP3 coils on the car, bolted right on. I have Si discs right now, RSX alignment arms, ITR camber plates, and an RSX swaybar... all that crap crosses over. The front swaybar won't clear the catalytic converter on the EX, but fits the LX/DX/VP, but theres not much point, the stock swaybars (15.9 or 25.4mm) and the aftermarket selection that are made for the car is more than enough to choose from without forcing parts that don't go.
