so it wont fit?

 

Did you not read through that link I provided?

 

it said its differnt but the same dude didnt even know why the 97 and 98 had 195 and 99+ had 200(the uped the compersion ratio) hadd 200 hp so hes not all know i get that its differnt and u helped out a great bit but i well it work ?

 

no compression ratio stayed the same.. u have been misinformed i believe..

 

haha no a head honda mech. told me they changed sumthing with the heads that bumped up the comprtion ratio (i bealive he said 10-1 but dont quote me on that im not for sure the number but i know it got bumped up) but seriously i could care less about 5 hp haha im just trying to see if base struts will work on SH so far its one dude saying no is there any body else that has tryed?

 

okay i read in to that link u sent and it explains perfectly

"There are actually quite a few differences between the base and the Type SH suspension, The springs are not the same. The type SH springs are a little taller. The struts are different as well, the base where the spring is perched sits lower on the Type SH, hence the taller spring. It results in a little firmer spring rate than the base. Lets not forget to mention the front knuckles are different, the raius rods, the front trailing arms, and the roll bars are a couple of millimeters thicker than the base front and rear. In the rear the springs and struts are different on the SH, it has the same condition as the front where the perch that the spring sits on is slightly lower than the base model, and the spring is slightly taller than the base model, It is not as big of a difference between the SH and Base rears as the fronts are though, the rear trailing arms are a little thicker as well but not much. The only problems with aftermarket struts would be modifying the dust gaurds on the struts with stock springs, however if you go aftermarket springs and struts that are replaced in tandem you will not run into any issues.."
