what's the difference between 99-00 Civic Si stock suspension and 99-00 Civic EX stock suspension (both springs and struts)?

 

I'm pretty sure they are the same

 

the Si has slightly firmer front and rear spring rates. shocks i think are the same

 

Thanks for fast responses.... H-T rocks!!

 

The Si will have larger sway bars also. 13mm up front, 26 mm out back if I recall correctly.

13mm back, 26mm front

 

the EX doesnt even come with a rear sway bar. I know mine didnt. I dont think the EX came with a front sway bar either....but it does come with all the factory holes for easy Si &gt; EX suspension upgrade.

 

EX comes w/ a 23 or 24mm front sway. no rear sway. the front sway mounting points and parts are different than the Si

 

I don't think he was talking about the swaybars at all. Just the springs and shocks.

 

Spring rates for the ex are 165f/80r and the si are 200f/99r. Shocks are the same.

---The ex has a 22mm front , no rear sway bars. Not counting the ex with abs, that has a 13mm rear. The si, as previously stated, has a 26mm front and a 13mm rear. IIRC the si has different front lcas that you need in order to use the si front bar

Everything he said, plus the Si's front damper forks are wider to fit the larger "stamped steel" style LCA.

If you want an Si front bar on your EX, you will need the complete lower suspension (sway-bar, end-links, bushings, LCAs, damper forks)...
