Default 2006 Civic Si Suspension upgrades?

I test drove the new Si and I didnt like how the suspension felt. I dont really know how to describe it but does anyone know if companies like progress or eibach are making suspension kits for the new Si already? Because I plan on getting one as soon as its released in december and thats the first thing I want changed along side with new rims and tires.

Oh, and why would a rep from honda tell me that the car handles better with worn tires when I test drove the car? HAHA

Are you sure he didn't mean 'scrubbed in' and not 'worn', or possibly 'worn in' instead of 'worn out'?

It's going to be a few months before any of the quality gear is released for the car.

no because I asked if I could drive the si that had the new tires instead of the one they been driving for the past 2 days that had tires that were literally out of tred. I could tell the difference in handling from day 1 and day 2..

Hey vtecvoodoo...how hard was it to reach the front strut mounts. Seems like a PITA from pics floating around the internet.

Is eibach going to engineer a set for coupe and sedan? Some 7thgen sedan owners were kind of turned off to eibach because of the sag in the rear end for the 4 doors.
