After reading your sig, I don't see why you don't like your FG as much if not more than your FA.

my FA was nice people always gave me gave me the thumbs up and loved the car, my FG eh just blah i did alot more mods to my FG and im just not happy with it, the blind spots **** me off the most. my FA felt like it could corner so much harder with only Sport Lines. The FG has a Pro Kit and 22mm rear sway which SHOULD feel better but doesn't Both cars had Falken 615s on it so it wasn't the tires. FA did have alot more wheel hop at the track tho... my FG is just ULGY iv decided my FA was just Sex on wheels But then again when the car had 8500$ worth the damage done to it while it was parked and i had to sell it

IF i could do it all over again i would of gotten another FA but they dealer didnt have any at the time and i wanted FBP or TW and they had a FBP FG and i drove home in it that night

The handling difference could be attributed to the extra 2 inches in wheelbase and slightly better weight distribution. But hey, you're still rolling in an Si and like you said, you're getting less attention from people which may inadvertently may be a good thing.

Yeah i think its just a mental thing, but when i drive my girls FG2 which has stock suspension and tires and then i drive mine it feels like its stuck to the road like glue but back on topic

GET SPORT LINES THEY ARE AMAZING :D

I just order my set of HFP's from collegehillshonda and they're having a clearance sale right now. Normally this site sells them for 612.xx with normal retail being 8xx.xx. I just ordered them for 450.xx before shipping. Good luck with you're decision on getting an FA.
