Default 94-97 are v6 suspension parts compatible with 2.2s?

front shock from the v6? sway bars from the v6? i know the front spindle assem. is from the sticky?.....looking to stiffen up the car a bit. feels like a fat bitch coming from a 4 dr integra to this.


also i have skunk2 coilovers, they suck huh? they feel real soft...would a v6 shock help this or i need aftermarket shocks? i have kyb gr2s(a week old) in the back and they fell spongy....

had accords but first time modding one....opinions please.

What's up floridian!!!
Dawg... what happens is that.... the 4I engine is lighter than the V6 one. Not only that, but the front of the car is different between the v6 and I4, so I would guess front suspension isn't really compatible. Further more, the shocks and springs for the I 4 accords are made and meant to support a certain amount of weight.
As an example, my coil overs from dropzone are rated for 500lbs each on the front, and 400lbs each on the back.
So, even if only slight differences are found among the two, there are differences without a doubt, because engines and weight are different.

while the parts are physically interchangeable the V6 springs have to compensate for that iron block V6 that gets put in those accords.........if you install the V6 springs into an I4 accord the front end will end up being higher...and of you install I4 springs into a V6 your car is gonna be rubbing in short order......
