what do mean by suspension? if you mean spring/struts, then just order the ones for your car.

My guess is, he's asking for what's interchangable between other model and his car.

The 97 Si sol has the same suspension as the VTEC sol. That said if you want to upgrade the 92-95 civic will be what you want.

You can get EG coilovers but keep in mind that the Sol is heavier and that means that you won't have the correct spring rates, which means that your car will be a little lower than a civic with the same components.

Nothing to worry about , people do this all the time. Make sure you get an alignment and set your toe to 0

Um...well del Sol parts are pretty much specific for the car. The only thing other than engines/suspension that will swap is a civic front lip. The suspension is that of an EG as stated above.

You can swap brakes as well but that may be more trouble than its worth.

Do not get EK suspension. The rear shocks are different.

exactly.. the fork at the bottom of the rear shock is smaller and will not fit your lcas

eg and integra can go on an ek (washer spacer) but not the other way around...

what about integras? will the suspension fit?

if so then i believe it will...

as for rear shocks only

integra compatable with eg and visa versa...

ek can use integra and eg, but not the opposite

you can use integra components. from 94-01.
you can use civic components. from 92-95

you can even use type r as long as you change out the rear control arm and strut.
