Does anybody here have the hfp suspension on their car i would like some feedback.

 

Yeah I have it on my 08 sedan Along with the Eibach sway bar kit. I like it alot. It is a little stiffer but does not jar your bones and create rattles which I've heard on cars that have rock hard suspensions. Still leaves a little wheel gap between the fenders. But stiffer isn't always better for road holding abilities.
I measured the a part of the frame before and after the installation to see how much lower it was as I was getting alot of different responses from people ranging from 1/2" to 1 1/2" . the frame before was 6 3/4" and after it was 6" so that comes to 3/4" and I had the front and rear springs side by side. Looked like 3/4". I highly reccommend it unless you like your car slammed and uncomfortable and a rattle trap

 

^Did you make your measurements right after you installed them or did you wait until after they settled? I looking into this setup.

 

Yeah right after but I don't expect it to settle much if any.

 

does the car handle better on turns looking for suspension to autocross with

 

from what i've heard the hfp is a really good bang for the buck. some ppl just werent too happy with the ride quality but the performance aspect was a night and day difference

 

its about 600 bucks to pretty cheap should i go with a swasybar to

 

I have it on my FG2...it's a great product. Don't think you can beat it for the price

i cant wait to order mine!

 

where did you order your sway bar kit from?? The eibach kit??

 

I got the Eibach sway bar kit from TIRE RACK for $290 and the HFP setup from ebay from a honda dealer that sells at wholesale price over the internet for $599 plus shipping. It was new make sure it's for your chasis style though...I think coupe and sedan have different part numbers.

Disagree with the other guy though. It's genuine honda so I thought the emphasis was on ride quality. I don't autocross but I drive very hard at times, 9 and 10 10ths and I think it holds the road very well. But the car needs more rubber on the road to be super grippy I think

 

Oh yeah, the price quote I got from the local dealer was $815 and it was called the sports suspension kit. I had to check to see if I was really getting a good deal from the internet

Thanks.

 

ive had mine on for about 4k miles....a lot different than the stock lx suspension...drop is subtle, handling is a lot more crisp and tight. i think it was the best way for me to go. just need to get a sway now

 

My Si has about 250 miles on it, and I just installed the HFP suspension package yesterday.

I didn't have much experience with the stock suspension to compare the two, but the drop is noticeable to me. I think I had about 4 of my fingers before, and now I have 2. It should settle a little more over time.

I also installed the HFP sports muffler in the process.

 

hfp suspension ftl!!

 

^^ Depends on what you are looking for. If you want it totally slammed you may be right. If you want it slightly lowered with better handling, for a good price, it is ftw.

 

has anybody gone autocrossing with the suspension

I've done almost a full season, and it has worked very well..

 

I love my stock suspension on my Si--only thing I feel I really need are stickier tires
