From the looks of things, the springs aren't much shorter than stock, therefore the struts and shocks probably aren't much stiffer then the OEM units (nor are the coils themselves very thick also indicating a much stiffer spring)...
I'm asking because I really want to know if these HFP units will serve as a good replacement for my LX shocks (I'd be unable to use the lowering springs due to SCCA Stock class restrictions) until Koni releases something.

Mario, the compression does seem to be a little stiffer than stock but probably not by much. I think that the kit does bring some improvement in handling with just little sacrifice in the ride quality, but I wouldn't consider it a competition kit. But then again, I've never ran in any competitions. Also, the kit does drop the car an inch, so I would think it would be technically considered a lowering kit, but, since it's a official Honda product, I don't know if it would fall within the rules. I hope that helps.
