Ok i want to go all out JDM...well almost. I want to know if theres any difference between the american crx si suspension and the sir suspension? I'm all for speed ..i want to enter my car with just plain jdm look just to see how far i get. So i want to get the sir suspension just to get more points. I don't know if the judge will notice?

Front suspension: IMO, forget it. The SiR runs different crossmembers, different (balljointed) swaybar, different control arms and mounting points all designed around different suspension geometry due to the longer and thicker driveshafts and extra size/weight of the B16A. Wishbones will mate up ok as they use the standard mounting points - but the SiR has a redesigned lower engine bay and mounting points. It'd be a lot of effort and money for very little return. Everything mounts in slightly different spots from my comparisons between the SiR and an Aussie GL which is the same as a USDM Si in dimensions.

The rear uses the JDM CRX disks, arms and stabiliser bar, but slightly different mounting points and bushes as well. It could be done a lot easier than the front, but might involve either mixing and matching the parts or a little fabrication.

I go through this every time I've tried to find parts to replace on the SiR - even the control arm mounts and bushes on the front are different - I'm getting special polyeurothane ones made up as the off the shelf ones dont fit :/

yeah, what he said.


:D
