Default Thinking of HFP suspension.

For those of you who have installed this package, are you happy with the results and did you have to address the rear camber after an alignment. I just had the
Tein S springs installed and am not that happy with the set-up.

Thanks,

I have the S-tech's on my 2008 civic si sedan and I love them, but everyone is different. I went for handling this time. I know this suggestion might not be that accurate cuz of different year cars, but I use to own a 2000 civic si and had H&R sport springs on it, and they were great. Ride quality was awesome, look was great and it handled well for a basic mod that is.
In my opinion, HFP only gives you a very mild upgrade. Look into the H&R sport springs or even Neuspeed "sport" springs (not the "race" spring too hard of a ride).
Different mod, but the springs are just like the HFP axleback exhaust. It gives you a decent sound but that is about it. You will not experience any significant power gains from it.

GL with your pick of suspension.

you know the hfp is a whole suspension right? like shocks and springs. so have u taken a ride in an 8th gen with stock springs then rode in it with the hfp suspension? well it handles a lot different! and in a good way. so idk if ur telling him tein s-techs with Stock shocks handles better than the hfp suspension? just wondering...

Thanks for the in-put. I believe I'm going with the HFP suspension. I have heard
alot of good stuff about the set-up and I beleive it will give me what I'm looking for. One additional plus is that I don't beleive I will have to worry about the rear
camber as compared to the Tein S which would of required correction.

Thanks,

HFP is AWESOME!

I've done everything with it on. I DD my car too... track, drag, auto-x, deals gap, done it all and have had everything out of it I could ask for. Esp for the minimal cost.

^ Sick setup. I'd give you a thumbs up and a beer but I don't know how yet.
