HFP Suspension Review
Ok, I went from stock to stock plus progress sway bar. The sway bar has always been the best bang for the buck on my older civics, so I always start with that. HOwever with the fg2... it did not make all that big a difference. I think the tail is sufficiently regid, that the sway bar does not have all that much work to do. If you disagree, I dare you to drive an ep3 before and after a sway, that is a WORLD of difference.
After the Progress, I finally got hfp suspension. Let me tell you, the other reports are not exagerations. The car rides rediculously well. It is harsher, and really, no different than say pro-kit and tokico on an older civic. The magis is in fact the lack of a drop. You can still take speed bumps at full speed, and yuo don;t have to crank the wheel like a retard everytime you come off of a driveway... its awesome
Install was a pita, although it is straight forward, the front trailing arm bolts are impossible to get to with a torque wrench. Unilike the ep3, the fronts are a piece of cake on this car, and the rears a pita. All in all I think it took me 45 minutes up front, and 45 for the left rear and by the time I did the right rear it was down to 35ish. Not too shabby.
