Default ef suspension

is there any suspensions that can be swapped onto a ef hatchback. what would be the benefits. i know you can use the bigger fron strut forks from a later civic in order to get a thicker, stronger, strut. is it worth it. i have a dx and gonna put si rear disk brakes and suspension on the hatch with the sway bar. just seeing if there is anything that would be worth doin before i do the rear conv. or should i just do the conversion and rebuild the stock suspension and get some decent shocks/struts? it just seems like theres more options for cars newer than the ef's

theres really no benefit of doing anything suspension wise from another car.

ben has a nice discussion on the difference of shock forks on his page.
http://www.ef-honda.com/ben/EFhybridsus.php

i have a set of EG forks, dont know what to do with them yet. i can accomplish lowering the shock in the fork by other means anyway.

the rear disc brake swap doesnt do anytihng for improved braking. just for looks and maintenence.

you can use the front knuckle for a larger brake rotor. its best to use civic 4dr EX knuckles tho, since the integra knuckles are slightly taller, but will still fit.

the front swaybar in a DA integra is bigger and does fit perfectly. but not something i would use for extra handling performance. the rear however, is actually smaller than the Si.

so really, no theres not much benefit of swapping parts around.
