DX I think, check the specs as it matches the best I believe, What springs you ordering ?

Should be ok, make sure it's the right engine (R18A) not K20 and double and triple check with the seller first. I don't know first hand

What exhaust are u considering?

Yep after more research, I can (safely) say that FA1 is the equivalent US model to our FD1. The specs are pretty much the same, ie. runs on the same engine R18A, 4-door sedan. I've seen a guy on 8th Generation Civic forum switched the trunk, tailights, headlight, bumpers to make his FA1 look like our FD1.

And their models are DX / LX / EX sedan 4 door
