Default ep3 / em2 compatible parts

Hey guys.

I drive an ep3, my buddy just got an em2.

I have/have access to a lot of stock ep3 parts, such as seats/trim/steering wheel/etc...

What are common ep parts being used in em2's these days?
I'm not that familiar with the em2 peeps....
Thanks in advance!

in terms of USDM OEM Honda parts from an ep3 i don't think springs would be used but the rest of the parts is about right.

Probably the best things to get off EP3 stock wise.

it is not a perfect fit, you need a custom bezel and rewiring has to be done... unless your friend doesn't mind the gaps

You need to repin the harness. The plugs fit the ep3 cluster.

im not completely sure about the rear, but the front will work if the EM2 is either a DX or LX. EX wont clear the cat. rear might be bolt on.

EP3 aftermarket suspension fits on the em2/es1/es2

I have ep3 buddy club coilovers on my car.

No I don't have the diagram. I'm going to ask my friend at honda to print one off when i find the time to change my cluster to the EP3 type R.
