HFP Suspension reviews?

[ricetastic]

The HFP kit is a good starter kit designed to improve the confidence of the average driver by eliminating body roll and providing better steering response. The stock struts are decent but the spings seem to allow for to much suspension movement and to me seem as though they are really soft. I would go with the HFP as a beginning mod to improve the feel of the vehicle. For real competition purposes the kit will not measure up to some top grade coilovers from Spoon, Koni, Skunk2 or Buddy Club etc etc. Most important aspect of suspension upgrades is to get some proper tires and a proper alignment. The actual performance of the vehicle will not be increased, it will just inspire more confidence due to having a better feel on the road. $400 for an install is good IMO, back when I had the mercedes they wanted $700ish to install my Bilstein coilovers.

i didn't just come in here bro i been here since page 2 and been reading all your posts....it began ok then got ugly...your decision making is very seesaw going back and forth with springs because you want the lower look but you also want hfp because you want the handling....i told you about hfp that you should get it eariler in this thread and you said i just want springs ect ect and now your gonna get hfp? what i'm saying is don't make a thread and bash people because they are telling you the facts of hfp....your now only getting it because you felt it in your friends car...not by everyones feedback on the hfp kit...i'm mean not thrash you but it's pretty annoying seeing people here try to help others with facts and then they get flamed...also if you do go back and read the whole thread you look like a douce bag with all the negative comments....sorry but good luck and yes post your pics and yes tell me that it is a 2 finger gap drop and its very subtle and clean looking...

really 400 just so it stay under warranty? I mean I can get it professionalty done and alligned for 200 but if the warranty is a really big deal i guess Honda should do it but these other guys really know what they are doing

seriously..anyways

[tsltd]

you guys should really just do the install yourself and save the 400 for something else...its really straight forward and simple...i didnt even get the hfp suspension for warranty.

[maximus20895]

^what do you mean?

[Endo07si]

^he saying he didnt just buy the hfp so it would have stayed under factory warranty; he bought it for the suspension itself...correct me if im wrong though

[tsltd]

when i get a chance i'll post some pics of the drop on a flat surface, should be settled by now...

[zippob09]

the HFP suspension is nice. I dont know if its really worth the money.....(mine was already installed when I bought the car.....actually didnt even realize it was on there untill i drove another EX and realized that my suspension was alot stiffer...

[tsltd]

^ how much did the dealer tac on for it already installed on your invoice?

[06RREX]

pics please!

[wrecked]

[njk2086]

this thread dead?

[Endo07si]

^^^??? no man! just getting started; waiting for some pics!

[insole23]

Here are mine about 2 weeks into the install. it has been about 2 months, the drop has settled in more. will post pics soon

[iomatic]

Who cares about the drop?


*ducks*

How does it do at the track? Cornering confidence? Lat.-gs? That's the real question.

Be glad you ducked. lol

[iomatic]

Yeah, I'm more concerned about performance on the track. I don't know what measure other than: take it to the track over a few days on stock suspension, and alternate between that and HFP on each run, both road and autocross, and drivers and cars, and see what times are improved; this gets us a more statistically accurate picture.

Though, I think a more realistic test is to just see how overall time averages improve. Anyone?
