HFP gives you about 3/4" to an 1" drop and there is a hella performance difference. I love my HFP. The drop and stiffness is perfect for me. I run Brembo Gran Turismo in the front which require me to a 7mm spacer with the front wheels to fit. Any lower a drop and I would rub. As for handling, I think it is great, much improved from OEM (specially with larger sway bars), and not so stiff that it kills your back and butt at 10 minutes.

Thats my opinion

for a DD and and if your looking for comfort and no adjustability, then HFP is the best option especually if you utilze your factory warranty.

Go to collegehillshonda.com They have great pricing

I have this on my Sedan and love it. Lowers the ride by about an inch and the ride is great.
I also dod not have to address the camber issue. Great deal at Collegehillshonda.com.

Can't go wrong w/ the HFP suspension. If you don't like the drop, you can always swap out the springs and sell it.

i am days away from throwing 18s on my fg2 coupe, so i suppose the 1-inch drop would be right up my alley. But how does HFP suspension compare with an Eibach anti-sway (basically just a front and rear sway bar) kit?

^ Front and Rear Sway bars are only for less body roll. I say get the HFP suspension and a Progress RSB, you'll feel the different rightaway!

besides a drop, what does this give me that a front and rear sway bar can't? The si's ride itself is plenty stiff, yet still comfortable, for the amount of driving that i do (50,000 miles in two years)

It provides less roll, stiffer spring and dampening, and slightly lower, versus the sways where all they do is reduce body roll.

Not that uncomfrtable. I drive 25,000 miles a year and have yet to regret installing them.
They are compareable to the stock ride that my son's Evo had. Handaling is greatly impoved without having to replace the alrady good sway bars.
