Is there any difference between the two? And are the springs, shocks, wheels and cat-back interchangeable?

The coupe's have slightly lighter and stiffer chassis because of the notch-back design. Everything, springs, shocks, wheels, exhausts, interior panels, front seats (maybe even rear), just about everything is the same.

Thanx, was wondering if I played with my coupe if I can transfer all my parts to a hatch but since the coupe has a slightly stiffer frame then I wouldn't need to. I'll just keep my coupe.

in pictures or far away the stock coupe looks kind of odd because of the long rear deck. but close up the coupe's curves can't be beat. its like when I first went to look at my car and test drive it, I just fell in love I guess.

There aren't any 'coupe' Integras. They're either hatchback or sedan. With integras, there will be larger differences because of size. The sedans are considerably longer than the hatch's, but I believe the positions of all of the parts should still work.

I know that, what I was saying was how come the hatch is what they use instead of the sedan which is more like a coupe, if a coupe in the Celicas case has a stiffer frame.

A sedan has 2 more doors than a coupe... so it probably would not be a stiffer chassi than a hatch.

Personally i like the look of the lb better, and i have a coupe. Pretty much the only reason i like it more tho is because they can get the gt-4 post... and that looks hella sweet imho.
