True. But for all intents and purposes, is that really feasible at an autocross or a track day? Especially up front... Labor intensive and it throws alignment settings off. Hell, I'm the only one crazy enough to change rear shocks at an event, but even I wouldn't pull them out between runs to make a change!!!

Also, Greg... The HFP shocks are NOT shortened compared to standard issue units. I verified this on the rears as I had compared my OEM LX units, the Si Sedan rears I run now and the HFP rears. That explains why most people are getting less than 1" of lowering out of them. One inch less shock travel isn't going to affect ride and handling that much.

AND... If you ALL want my $.02, IF I were doing one of the "pre-fab" setups RedShift offers, I'd choose the Pro-Kit over the Sportline. Though they lower the car more, the Sportlines are actually a little softer although they offer a greater drop... Not good for the life of any damper.
