First time posting but a long time troller. I have got an 07 White Si Sedan and I have noticed some things that did not look right. I'm talking about the stance of the car. I noticed that it looked lower in the rear so I took some measurements. Sure enough, it is 3/8-1/2" lower in the rear (at least the fender gap is 3/8-1/2" less in the rear than in the front). Now whether or not the car actually sits lower in the rear I do not know, but the stance would suggest that.
I have been thinking about the HFP suspension kit and have been buring up the search function on here, and cyberspace but with no real answer to my questions. So I thought I would post up and see what I got. Here you go:
1. Is the HFP suspension an equal drop? If it is, I would think that it would exagerate the lower rear "looking" stance since the body is closer to the tire?
2. On HFP kit, are the "spring rates" also different? I read were the "dampening" was, but nothing about the springs. I was tossing the idea around that if the HFP spring rate was the same as the stock springs, then I could change out the front setup, but just use the rear HFP strut for dampening and keep the stock spring for a better stance? Any suggestions about that theory (good or bad)?
I want a nice suspension, but I also do not want the car to look like a "tail dragger". that's all.
Thanks everyone.

its my turn "researching" HFP suspension and found out that japanparts.com also has HFP suspension for JDM civic.
1st question Sir, is your Si the 197bhp? if so, are you suggesting the HFP suspension is stiffer than your current Si ones?
Appreciate your help in this matter and as you can see i had posted this in 3 different threads too. Desperate to find out the answer.
Thanks.
