Default EP1 vs. EP3 Suspension - little help please :)

Hi there!

So I bought a 2002 EP1 from a Honda Dealer in Norway. Yes, it's an EP Civic with a small 1.4l non-vtec engine, thus making it pretty cheap.

What I need to find out, is if I can use coilovers/suspension parts from the EP3 / EP3R. Can you, by looking at these pics, tell me if thats possible?

Front


Rear


I am guessing that the chassis will not be sufficiently different to prevent you from swapping the parts.

I think I answered this in your other thread, but suspension should be identical. Lowering springs made for the EP3 will work, but might not lower properly due to the different weight of the 1.4L motor.

Complete coilovers should work perfectly, however.

Just saw the pics in the other thread. Very interesting.
