Default Civic as a track/autocross car, what to look for?

I've tried searching, but havnt found much that is helpfull.
I'd like to know what to look for in a 92-up civic.
I think an EX would be the way to go with a stronger motor,
but is a DX that much slower/worse?
Is there any real differences between coupes and sedans?
Did any come with a rear sway bar, and how easy is it to add one?
What are the suspension differences between the 92-95 and 96 up?
How about motor differences?

I would plan to run the car in FSP or STS.
Plans for the car would be Koni's, stiff springs, exhaust, rear sway, Kosi 15's with Azeni 205/50/15's.
Possibly an autopower bolt in 4pt and harnesses

Thanks!

If you're looking to run STS, what he said. 90-91 are heavier becasue they have more impact protecton.

I know an earlier SI is the weapon of choice, but I live in New England. They have pretty much all rusted away by now.
A later car is more available to me.

I'm not looking to win nats, I just need something more fun than my Subaru 1.8L awd impreza
