Are there any suspension differences between the 4 door and 2 door si or are they same?
I have a 4 door SI shell and now looking for a donor car for the suspension components. Can I pickup a 2 door SI and have everything bolt up or do I need to specifically look at 4 doors?

Okay, I just spent some time snooping through the parts catalog to compare '06-08 Civic Si 2dr and Si 4dr. With exception of the springs, dampers, and front sway bar (including FSB bushings), the entire suspensions are exactly the same.
This includes all of the control arms, end links, brackets, knuckles, bushings, ball joints, bump stops, upper damper mounts, the rear sway bar, and the front subframe.
I'm convinced that the springs and front sway bar are compatible as well, and only different in specification rather than fitment. Not sure on the dampers.

That is incorrect on both counts.
'06+ Civic coupe and sedan both have McPherson struts up front and a double wishbone-emulating multilink rear suspension.
