Although these do come close.

Don't get the Tein SS.
HFP is great
Lowering springs really aren't going to improve performance.
Have heard of BC, but I don't think any reviews have been done. |
Hey folks. I just joined the forum after searching the net for good suspension info on the FG. Picked my car up this past december and am currently running the HFP suspension.
I previously had the SS-P on my em2, and while initially I was satisfied with its performance, I found that its staying power was a bit in question. Much like someone described previously, the coilover starts getting really loose and takes longer and longer to settle after hitting bumps. I put about 15,000 miles worth of driving on them (mixed highway, street, and auto cross) so I'm not sure I should be complaining about how long they lasted, but you can expect that you will need to commit funds to having them refreshed on a per year basis by Tein, and unless you have a spare suspension/techinical knowledge/cheap mechanic this could be more than some people are willing to do. I also never lowered the car more than 2" (cept right before I took the coils off), and when I did the handling was adversely affected.
With that said I really like the HFP suspension, although I can't tell how good the performance is with the MXM4s I'm stuck riding on (Man these tires are terrible). The suspension seems bouncy, but I'm hoping better grip will fix what I percieve as some twitchiness over undulating surfaces. Any thoughts folks?
Man there some really great info here. I've joined a few other forums, but the techinical info can be lacking at times.
