It gives about a one inch drop from what I have seen. Perfect for daily driving, but not much more than that due to the OEM quality shocks.

Save up for coilovers .

Are you talking about suspension or about the lip kit?

I think the lip is FUGLY. Well at least the front is.

Seriously for the price i don't like it. Mine actually came with the kit so i wasn't gonna complain but i think for the price u can get a much better looking lips front and back and rims.

Although the wing is kick *** and well worth the money.

Ebay has some very competitive prices, check out Norm Reeves, http://stores.ebay.com/NormRee...QtZkm and College Hills Honda for brand new stuff http://stores.ebay.com/College...QtZkm. Of course there may be deals from private sellers also.

I have rear wing on mine, which is much better looking than stock and the suspension setup, which isnt quite as low as I would like it, but rides very well for a DD. As mentioned above I also dont care for the front lip, I think the way to go is the Type R USDM front lip.

For everything? If so, then that's pretty damned cheap, considering that when it was new, US Honda dealers were pricing the complete package at US$4k or so.

Personally, I like it. To be practical, I can also be sure that it'll fit correctly right out of the box and be painted the right color. AND it's urethane, which is loads more durable than fiberglass. I'm kinda considering just the body kit for my own EP, just to have some more visual fun with it.

sorry I'm so lazy to look up the currency exchange rate, how much US dollars is 2500 cad?? about 1800-1900, I'm guessing??...

It's acutally not a bad price especially if it's installed price..

Imo, If I had that $1800, I'd wait and save up a few hundreds more to get the complete JDM type R kit... ofcourse you won't get the suspension or the spoiler, but I'd personally take the JDM kit over HFP kit anyday... JDM &gt; HFP
