I was about to buy Eibach Sportlines and HP's for the old ep3, about $600. I just saw some guys at ephatch selling brand new HFP suspension setup for $400. I was wondering what the drop was with the HFP and from anyone running this setup what they think about it, especially if anyone has comparison between HFP and the Eibach/HP setup.

Thanks

I installed my HFP suspension last weekend and I love it. The car actually feels more confident at freeway speeds and it completely eliminates that overly top heavy feel that creates the SUV like drive of a stock EP.

It's a little stiffer than stock; but it won't wreck your spine like many aftermarket suspensions might. I can't really give a fair comparison for the HP/Eibach setup; but for what it's worth I had a KYB/Prokit combination on my old EK at the softest setting and the HFP is about the same, maybe just a tiny bit softer.

The drop is ~1"; but honestly most people with a DD EP won't find the need to go below 1.5" and at that point your *best* options are the Mugen SS/~1.3" ($1100) or HFP/~1" ($400 - 500).

Here's a pic I took after installing the HFP to give you a general idea of the drop:

I agree, I dont want the slam the car. I dont want the ride to be too rough, because this is a DD. I also didnt want to spend over $1000 for the Mugen, so I thought the Eibach/HP would be a good setup, but some guys say it handles great, but its a little harsh. Plus the HFP sounds like a really good deal at $400.

Thanks for the feedback.

 

Anyone else love it or hate it? Anymore pics from anyone?

Thanks

Hey noob, why are you jacking my stread??? Check out ebay, Honda dealers are selling direct there, for really good prices or look in the class. section.

 

give the prokit & hp's a thought as well. not as low as the sportlines, but slightly lower than the HFP. i just purchased mine and have yet to put it on.

I thought about that setup also, but its like $600+ and the HFP is $400.

 

the eibach kit will give you around a 2 inch drop, while the HFP gives you around a 1 inch.

i would go for the HFP because the eibach neets new alignment and its stiffer and all this other crap, un less your serious and doing auto x every weekend and do professional competition etc...

HFP

im putting prokit springs on my accord, but thats only because honda doesnt offer HFP for my CG3 (02 accord) anymore
