That said, look under the car for a rear anti-sway bar. VTEC models are only 94-97. Look under the hood for a strut tower bar. Look under the front for a VTEC Performace Bar. 93-95 Si's have the fat five spoke alluminum wheels with satin finish. 94-95 VTEC models have the painted silver, thin, 5 spoke wheels with polished lip. 96 and 97 Si's AND VTEC's both have the thin spoke wheel that the 94-95 VTEC's have and also the VTEC suspension with rear swaybar etc. VTEC models have bigger brakes than the Si.
Redline on 94-95 = 8250. 96-97 = 8000
Sorry to correct you, but the "fat spoke" wheels were actually on the 93 Si's and the 94 Si's and VTEC's, and were discontinued at the end of the 94 model year. The "thin spoke" wheels replaced them and were on nearly all of the 95-97 Si's and VTEC's, as long as optional rims were not opted for in their place. The S's always had the steelies and wheel covers; again, as long as optional rims were not opted for in their place. Put simply, the Si's have always shared wheel types with the VTEC's...the fat spokes in 93 (minus the VTEC) and 94, and the thin spokes from 95 to 97.
