Default are 00 stock Si springs lower & better than stock 00 LX ones?

I'm thinking of putting stock Si springs on my 00 LX because I don't think they'll void my warranty since they're stock on another car. Are they a step up from my LX stock springs? Will they lower the car at all? Handle better?

Thanks for the info.

pretty much same thing....not worth the trouble, time, or even money...just go with ITR springs if you want to lower it slightly and want a little better handling

They're slightly stiffer... not sure how much. I don't think they lower the car. If they do, it's not enough to notice.

You can find them cheap... if you want a minor upgrade and no loss of ground clearance, they're decent. Otherwise, something like ITR springs would make a much bigger difference.

Si springs will actually raise your car in the front.

Just buy aftermarket.

Edit: To demonstrate, here is a shot of some Si springs on a DX coupe.
