My 98 EX that I had could not take corners nearly as well as my newly acquired 00 Si does. Several factors.
00 Si vs 98 EX
1. 15" Rims vs 14" Steel "things"
2. KUMHO vs Goodyear Aquatread 3 (I LOVE THESE KUMHOs)
3. Stock front(26mm) & rear(13mm) swaybar vs stock front(22mm) swaybar
4. Stock strut tower brace vs nothing
If I compared it to my EX with the addons (Eibach Sportlines & front & rear strut tower braces), I would say that the Si "grips" better. The tires make or break the traction.

Actually the main factor you left out between the Si and EX, stock is the Civic Si has stiffer shocks and more aggressive spring rates.
