Not especially. They make parts for all trims. Also DX and LX are closely related, so many of the parts for one would fit the other.

Any part that works on a 2 door or hatch will work on a 4 door other than doors, rear bumper, rear deck lid, and all the interior in the back. They make great sleepers and make it tons easier to get people in and out of. I had my 98 sedan boosted and going low 14's/high 13's in the 1/4 mile at full weight with a turbo setup that costed me like $900 to put together.

they're heaveier, but modable-wise, you'll be able to find parts for it just about as easily as a coupe, and like Marty said, they're sleepers cuz nobodies expecting serious power getting pumped out of a Sedan theres a few boosted Sedans here on HCF i know, and its a litlte differnt from the typical modified Coupe, so i say hit it up and modifiy that bitch!

actually the dx/lx sedans are lighter than the hx/ex coupes. mine weighed in at 2308lbs at the track with 1/2 a tank of fuel and no driver.

well by the time you add moon roofs, power windows, longer doors(more so longer door glass) and stuff like that the weight adds up. Most ex/hx coupes weigh in at around 2450 or so lbs and the hatchs are around sedan weight if not a tad bit less.

They are, I said they are a tad bit less weight than the sedans, me and my freind could and did on a number of times outright pick up the rear end of my hatch to move it. But my hatch is stripped of everything but the engine/trans, dash, and front seats . I'd say it is around 1900 or so lbs may be wrong though.
