HFP kit + drop?
im lookin at gettin the civic with the Aero kit (on honda canada website this is what they call it ... i think its the same thing but w.e) anywaz i was just wondering if anyone has the hfp kit with the 2006 Honda Civic Eibach Sportline Kit Lowering Springs the 1.4" front and rear and if this would be too low.. and if it is than how about the other one (1.2" and 1") front and rear ... basically if i got the hfp kit would it be wise to do a drop or not.. p.s. im lookin to get the suspension kit from the 8th gen store thats y im being so specific
Thanks in ahead!

The kit shouldn't make too much trouble for you as far as groung clearance. The lip and design pieces don't go more than a quarter inch lower than stock. You'll be fine.
It's more an add-on bumper pieces, than a lip or facia kit.As far as how low it can go...I'm pretty sure you can go until it's sitting on the ground, as long as you get your camber fixed and your rubber liner's gone. |

I'm also in Canada and got the "Aero Kit" or HFP kit on my car. Since then I have put 19" rims on the car with a 1.6 drop in the front and 1.4 in the rear via H&R lowering springs.
The clearance is fine ..... but you still need to be careful. In my situation I have to be careful due to the low pro tires/rims, but in terms of the HFP kit with a drop shouldn't be a problem. Adam NBP Civic Si w/ HFP kit & fogs Mod List to date: - 19" TSW mondello hyper black rims/Exclaim UHP 225/35/19 tires - H&R Sport Springs 1.6 front/1.4 rear - PIAA Hyper white Lowbeam/Fog light - DC Sports Axle-Back Exaust - AEM SRI polished - 7% tint all around including sunroof/windshield strip - Crome/amber rear turn signal bulbs - 3 Audiobahn 12' subs in professional box - 1 Audiobahn 1000 watt RMS amp - 1 Farad cap |

I have the hfp kit and the sportlines it sits low but its a perfect drop you can hardly get a finger in front and back when settled. I scrape time to time though its hard to avoid it sometimes the ride is smooth as stock but very harsh when you hit bumps etc.
