Default suspension question?

This is a stupid question , but I wasn't not sure so anyway.......

Does the DC5 use the same suspension platform as the EM2?

The reason I ask is, because I currently own a 02 civic EX and planning on buying a RSX in the near future.

I have the Tein Basic coilovers on as of now, and thinking of swaping it over to the RSX.

Let me know please.

So you can't used any of the suspension except the rear sway right.

Just sell your basics, use the money to buy coilovers for the RSX.

You could probably use the front sway, too -- I can't remember for sure. Thinner front will give the car more oversteer.
