Default eg4 vs. eg6

isnt an eg4 a sedan?? eg6 is a hatch so they might have different spring rates for different model trim cars.. most coilovers sold for a particular car will work w/ any trim level...

EG4 is the VTi hatch. EG6 is the SiR. Not sure why they would separate the coilovers though, unless the EG4 is using different control arms. The only difference I know in the two suspensions is that the VTi is missing a rear anti-sway bar.

It is more then likely the rear lower control arm. The EG6 has a Type R type while the EG4 has a regular usdm civic si arm. Hope this helps

All jdm civic's have the itr style lca's. Same for jdm delsols. The only difference is the ones that dont come equipped with rear sway bars do not have a nut welded where the swaybar endlink would bolt up, there is just the hole.

If there is any differences in suspension it would probably be because eg6's come with heavier dohc vtec motors while eg4's have shoc vtec. That would be my best guess.
