Hello u guys
I´m from Brazil and i have a JDM EK4 97´ w/ B16a2
I need to replace my Ek4´s struts and coils springs, but those parts are freaking expensive here!
As u guys already know, the US Market never been sold any EK4 JDM.
I was thinking about order the full strut assy from the 99/00 Si USDM (i don´t want any aftermarket or sports suspension kit. Just new and OEM)
What u guys could say about that? Does anyone knows about the difference between those suspensions? I means spring rate, shocks stiffness, Ride height after the instalation? I don´t want a softer car or drive a monster truck (lol)
Thank you Guys

They may different, but they will fit.
Honestly, you may be better off geting a simple set of koni Str-t's. I know you don't want aftermarket, but OEM shocks will be stupid expensive.

Only thing i can tell you about the oem em1 springs and struts is that they are 20% stiffer than lower models, and yes....they should fit in your car without an issue.
As 98civdx mentioned, oem parts can be pricey
