dude, the suspension is pretty much identical. the springs /are/
identical. the shocks are theoretically valved slightly different, but
not so you'll ever notice. the front sway bars are identical, and the
rear sway bar on the si is "mild".

the dx has a "sporting feel" too.

the si is more powerful, but not rippingly so. the dx is still a great
power to weight ratio and when set up right, corners like it's on rails.
put identical wheels/tires on both and you're hard pressed to tell the
difference. brakes on both vehicles are identical.
