is there any diffrence between the 2 sets of springs/ struts? like spring rates?

any key thing that is visable that you can tell that they are which set of springs? like a marking?

 

anyone know?

 

anyone?

 

if you want your car to feel stiffer but want the stock feel to your car, i would recommend a stock DC2 Suspension

 

The EM1 springs are actually a tiny bit (negligible) stiffer than GSR springs.

This could have been found out by searching for .005 seconds on google.

96-00 EX - 165F/80R (P/P)
99-00 Si (EM1) - 201F/99.8R (P/P)
97, 00-01 ITR - 250F/250R (L/P)
GS-R - 200F/95R (P/P)
CTR - 240/240 (L/P)

 

There are also other differences between the 2 cars suspension wise.

The EM1 has a front STB.

The EM1 has the CTR front arm/swaybar setup. 26mm swaybar with tubular steel arms and ball jointed links.

The EM1's shock forks are wider at the bottom. However, the shocks themselves fit into any other 92-95 civic fork.

The EM1 comes with a rear bar (13mm).


The shocks are internally different between the two cars also, IIRC. The EM1's shock valving is "stiffer".

 

what about appreance? i am looking to just buy a stock set of springs and the guy selling them says they are civic si ones but is there a way i can determine this?

 

They may have a part number on them. Not really sure. They look about the same as the EX ones.

 

I could go look at mine in my garage if you want.

 

well i guess just let me know, i dont really think there would be an apperance diffrence.
