Default USDM Si 99/00 X JDM Ek4 9x - Suspensions specs difference?

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

Maybe I over reacted, your looking at $100 a peice, not that bad. However, you could do Koni sports for not much more.
