Being as they're the same car near enough do they use the same suspension setup? Its just someone told me these will fit but i cant see it myself?

GAZ coilovers work...........Brother has them fitted to his Rover 45 and they are very good!

If you are interested give EMS Ltd a call since they are the ones who sorted it all out ;)

Yea they do look abit dodgy. It just got me thinking as Civic coilovers seam to be a damn site cheaper than ZS ones.

The suspension set up on some of the Civics are interchangeable with the Rover 45/ZS. But there is no point in using a standard Civic set up. In fact quite a few Civics are running the ZS set up as it is far superior to the Honda's original.

Exactly that.The OE ZS is better than allot of Civics,as is the OE ZS 180 brake system
