Curious, it seems that some manufacturers list different items for the Si and non Si cars. K-sport lists the same coil over kit though for both. Eibach lists different springs for both the Si and non Si.
I checked the body service manual and from what I can tell, it seems that they share the same mounting points, so possibly the Si cars get a bit heavier spring, or possibly a different installed height, or both. ( where the lower spring mount is located on the factory strut )
I would like to purchase the Si HFP kit for my LX sedan, as I don't want a lot of drop, but would like to increase the spring rate as well as a better damper. I have looked into the Koni inserts for the front, and the rear shocks to go with them. If I bought the HFP kit, would anyone here be interested in the bare dampers. ( I just want the springs )
Why I would like to stick to close to the factory height: A gap between the tire and fender doesn't bother me, and messing up the roll centers and bump steer aren't on my short list. Of course, an alignment is going to be needed one way or the other.
