Just a heads up. No telling how long any damper, or EVEN coilover dampers at that will last.

Good info, but is it safe to say that assumption holds true even with the stock si suspension if you were to just put lowering springs on that set up. I thought that since the hfp kit has shorter struts and shocks that there would be a lower chance of blowing those parts up than using my factory setup since with the stock components technically the shocks and struts will have to sit lower all the time than if i used the hfp parts. Just a thought out loud I guess.
If anything I still have my stock set up in a box down stairs, I just felt there was less risk of damage due to running a shorter spring with the hfp kit, due to the shorter shocks.
