Are the springs the same on these two cars? like if you got some lowering springs for an Si would they work on a new Civic LX? thanks

 

I'm sure the spring rates are different.

 

so youre sayin that you CANT use the Si springs for the LX??

 

well going that direction you probably could use Si springs. I apologize, I thought you meant using EM2 springs on a EP3 (which you could also do, however I am seeing the ill effects of that).

 

thanks man... its not for me, my friend wanted to know so i was just gonna tell him... i guess i should tell him not to

EM2 Tein S-tech's are even softer than stock EP3 spring rates I'm guessing?

Ewwww, that's horrible. I now feel your pain even more. I had no idea they were that much softer. Downgrade

 

the springs will work on the Em2 chassis. The rate on the teins are probably due to the obesity of the Ep3..So i think puttin the ep3 springs on a coupe would be a stiffer ride

Spring rate is more complex than just the car's weight. Your car is no lightweight either.

2,579 vs. 2,744

 

thanks guys... sounds too complicated... ill just tell him not to do it

 

lol. i've been using the tanabe df210's meant for the em2 for 8 months. getting bouncy. that's another example why you should think twice about using a part meant for anither car. my o2 cents. leason learned. although for $120 brand new, who could pass that up?

 

The lengths are different by enough that the drop won't be even. But if you're asking if they'll fit, then yeah, they'll fit. It just doesn't look right.
&lt;---- Learning the lesson right now... EP3 JICs in an EM2, D17 doesn't weigh as much as a K20, front springs too stiff. Oh well, its fixable for pretty cheap.
