2000 sir suspension and brakes on 97 hatch

I found a complete brake and suspension setup off of a 2000 sir for 350$ will this be a straight bolt on?
Will the suspension components improve the ride quality?
(I just want disks for the rear) thanks in adv.

From: Where my car is.
The springs will be stiffer and are a direct replacement. The ride height should be about the same. Front disc setup should be a direct replacement (although the smallest rim size you'll be able to run is 14". 13" rims are too small to fit over EM1 (99-00 SiR) front brakes.) The rear discs, I can't remember if you have to swap the rear trailing arms as well. If you have them, then you're good to go, just use the SiR trailing arms/assembly.

Good luck and enjoy the upgrade.

If you're swapping trailing arms, check the rear trailing arm bushings. If they look worn, change them. They make a big difference.
