Default Getting 2dr EX in 1 week - questions about HFP kit, wheels, suspension, etc.

I found the HFP 17" wheels on http://www.hondapartsdeals.com
Is there such thing as 18" HFP wheels like this? If so, where can I get them from? If not, are there any wheels that are similiar but made by someone else?

I ordered the HFP kit (front,side and rear under spoiler). I was looking at pictures of other '07 civics on the internet, and now I'm confused as to what the HFP kit actually looks like. Is this the front under-spoiler of the HFP kit? http://www.hondapartsdeals.com...82462
Or is it this: http://www.hondapartsdeals.com...88918

Really confused

Suspension upgrades:
after choosing wheels/tires, I will probably want to drop the suspension 1" to 1.5"
What is a good choice for this? Is the HFP suspension worth it? Does it improve handling in addition to dropping it 1" (I hear it drops it about 1", correct me if I'm wrong).

Thanks!

They do make 18" HFP wheels. The lip kit is the front, sides and rear. It really adds to the look of the car. I have the HFP suspension and for the price it is worth it. It is almost an inch drop and best thing it is under warranty by Honda. I would recommend http://www.collegehillshonda.com. They are cheaper and they are great to answer questions after the sale.

there is a different lip kit for the sedan and coupe. http://www.hondapartsdeals.com...88918 is the one for the coupe.

.... why do the dealerships charge 2,000$ extra for the 18'' HFP rims when they only cost 900 even on a direct seller site...

I see more and more why they call them stealerships

sorry to dig up such an old thread, but I have pretty much the same question, and would like some more feedback.

I don't necessarily want a huge drop as my civic is my daily driver/commuter, so obviously comfort is still important. However, I DO want a better handling car. So would the HFP kit provide that little extra sharpness to the car, tied with something like a progress rear swaybar? ( Or what would your recommendation be to replace the very very small 11mm rear bar in my coupe. )

thanks in advance!
