Are you that TALL. Lets see some pics with the camera closer to the windshield level. The drop looks good

what size are those wheels and do you live in a tent in the forest? had to ask because it looks like you're always parked at a park.

I installed the Eibach pro-kit springs about 9 months ago, and just yesterday I put the HFP shocks and struts on with the Eibachs. (My cousin put the springs on his black fg).

Handling seems , ride is more stiff (which I love) but the Girlfriend whines about it

overall I think the HFP shocks and struts with the Eibachs works out really well!

I wonder if the hfp suspension would work well with say a set of eibach sportlines i def want a lower drop then the pro kit but i think the hfp set is designed to work with just a 1'' drop anyone ?

I would like to do the HFP thing it seems to be the logical solution to lowering but I have had some problems with my susension the dealer just installed new shocks at 6000miles but that damm creaking and poping sound is still present. I was told that the stock shocks are junk so i am wondering if i will run in to the same problem with the hfp! or shouldI go all out with the tein set up and camber kits??? but the Hfp looks good!!!

Will I think you would be just fine, I have a couple friends with sportlines on honda OEM struts (shitty macpherson) and they have held up alright. Highly Recommend the pro-kit though, sportlines just feel a little sloppy IMO.

I just got my Si last week and I wanted to have the HFP suspension installed when I got it, but my dealer said that the kit hadn't come out for the Si sedan yet. Did you get yours from your dealer?

collegehillshonda.com

your dealer need to catch up with the rest

p.s order from college hills and install it yourself pretty straight forward...

Did you use Si coupe suspension or is the kit for the sedan finally out? I have been waiting, but if it's fine w/ the coupe setup, I will buy that.

I have not heard of many (if any) others having creaking and popping with stock suspension. I have the HFP suspension and the only creak I get is when I go down the steap curb from my driveway. Otherwise it's quiet and awesome for handling.

Before you go out and get Tein suspension, search the forum. You will find several people have had some pretty big problems with Tein products. At least the products for this car.
