Hey, just wondering what difference will there be if I used SiR sport springs by H&R on my DX hatch?

I know H&R makes sport springs for the SiR and 96-00 civics. Are they any different?

They would be slightly stiffer because the SIR is a heavier car. I have SIR H&R Sports on my car and I didn't see any difference from the previous "regular" Sports I first had.

I know neuspeed has specific springs fo specific applications, Best way to find out for sure, is give H&R a call Im sure the have a toll free #, Thats what i did i called neuspeed.

from what i've heard they are the SAME SPRINGS. i believe the part #s are 51865 for 96-00 civics and 51865-2 for the civic SiR.

apparently it was a marketing ploy (aka "scam") by H&R for shops to stock more of the same springs.

Thats what i thought to, the shop wanted to sell me the 92 springs form my 00 civic , they said thye where identical bla blah b,,,, so i called neuspeed and the said the spring rates are different and the size of the springs is also different, thats why the different part #.
