Default Alignment - Tein S to HFP

Just had a new alignment after going back to HFP suspension from Tein S springs and
OEM struts:

Front - normal

Camber - Rear - left - -1.6
right - -1.1
normal range 0.3 to -1.5

Toe - left - 0.15
right - -0.15 (right corrected to 0.15)
notmal range 0.05 to 0.25

I'm going to live with the slight increase in camber on the left rear.

Wait, your RR camber fell out of specs with the hfp? What was it with the Tein?

Yes, but I'm not worried about the small bit of extra camber on the rear left. The rest of the
specs are within normal limits. With the Tein S springs I believe the rear camber for both
sides was near -2.0 or greater. I would of had to address the camber and I like the HFP system much better.

I'm running HFP suspension but changed the coil springs out for TEIN H springs. It dropped my FA5 1 1/4" total in the rear and 1 1/8" total in the front. It rides relatively smooth but stiffer as well.

With the Tein H springs, did you have to correct the camber in the rear?

I would assume so. What is the difference in height between the S and H techs anyhow?

Yes I have photos. Check out my page on cardomain. My user name is "moch69" and I can be found in the 2009 Honda Civic category. My car is the first one on the 2009 Honda Civic list.

Forget the teins.....they ruined the ride quality for just 1/2" extra drop in ride height. The HFP suspension rides real well and lowers the car around 3/4" all the way around. Once it settles it will probably be about 1" total drop.

I know, I'm a fan of the HFP's and hope to pick a set sometime soon, one of the downsides to it is the weak drop that it gives.

Can't say enough about my HFP suspension. A big improvement!
