I can get the FPK suspension set up for 500.00, What do you guys think. I might get it but am not to big on the fact that it doesn't really drop the vehicle that much.

Let me know. Thanks guys...

Depends on what you are looking for.
If you want to really drop it or need adjustability
in your suspension, I'd say no, it's not worth
it (it's just not what you want).
If you're just looking to tighten up the suspension
some and retain OEM-quality (I think you work
for Honda/Acura, so you may get freebies on
warranty anyway), plus skirt any warranty
issues, I'd say that's a pretty good deal.

Or you can spend 650.00 and get Tein Basics.

The claimed drop on that suspension is 1". If you've seen it in person, it doesn't really seem like it's been dropped at all. I've never driven a car with it, so I can't comment on its performance. According to all of the reviews I've read here, at ClubRSX, and in various mags, the handling is much improved with that suspension--but you also can't discount the change in tires and how that affects the handling. Just my $.02.
