EE8 is the VT code.

As for differences, if he were to get the full kit for a 91 USDM Si he will need to piece together extra bushings.

Namely:

Complete Master Bushing Set 16.18102

Plus required bushes for VT

Strut rod kit from Integra: 16.7104
Transmission shifter stabilizer set for 84-87 CRX 16.1101
Lower control arm pivot busing for Integra: 16.3109 (Note: here I think 16.3104 will work but not postive on this as i dont have a vt and cant verify it, if it does it is included in the main kit so wont need 16.3109)

I'd also recommend getting the following which arent included in the kit.

16.5110 18mm Front sway bar
16.5112 15mm Rear sway bar
16.7106 Rear Trailing Arm Bush

Note:
16.3104 - 89-91 UKDM (Fork)rear lower control arm
16.3111 - 88 + JDM (loop&eye) rear lower control arm
16.3109 - Integra rear (This is used by some on crx uk!!)

He can buy the kit off billb on crx uk or go onto http://www.suspension.com/civic.htm and piece it together himself for slightly less, There is a uk kit on the site so maybe ask them what past buyers with VTs went for, they cant verify it themselves but perhaps customers have told them what works and that way he wont have bits left over. I have dealt with them in the past and they are very helpful with quick shipping.

Depends where hes from really though, if hes uk id say go for billb. He will have bits left over from the main kit if he does it himself.

I dont have a vt so never really needed to look into it, all that concerned me when fitting the kit was the rear lower contol arms for my JDM Si.

Well, you don't have a CRX any more (I think?) so that's some excuse at least.
