Default I need help!!!

I need to know if Ep3's share the same suspension as the DC5's. Anyone know???? There are so many more options out there for DC5s

Not all of it. Enough is different to make it a hassle. For instance, the wheels are a different offsets on both the '02-'03 Si, '04-'05 Si, and the RSX.

Plus the moment arms are different on the rear suspension so aftermarket swaybars are NOT interchangeable. I learned that one the hard way. I've got a pair of destroyed endlinks to prove it.

The springs aren't interchangeable. The struts aren't, the tie-rod ends are different, and the brakes are different on both the '02-'03 Si, '04-'05 Si, and the RSX. In fact the only things that are interchangeable are aftermarket rear tie bars. Maybe aftermarket front tie frames are interchangeable but you might want to do you research on that first.

Well that sucks but thanks for the help. I guess i'll just ether go with HKS or Apex. I really want to get TODAS but i think they would be to harsh for a daily driver.
