. but hey, you will be driving to slow to get a speeding ticket.

If your running on stock tires I would definately get new ones. A tire is just as important as the suspension. You can have great suspension and crappy tires and still be sliding/squeeling around. The fatter the better, and Z rated or as close to it as you can afford, they get pretty expensive depending on your rims. Anyway just MHO. Im also looking at the HFP. Heard way too many good things about them

Please read this :)

Can anyone confirm what HFP sports suspension kit would fit an Australian Honda Civic? Its a 2008 VTI model 4 door sedan with a 1.8 litre engine and automatic transmission. Link of what it looks like is Honda - Showroom - Civic

Any help would be appreciated.

^ your prolly looking at the EX suspension not sure tho

foch3 · 06-24-2008, 11:32 PM

would that not be the JDM version? don't they have different mounting points or some such nonsense.

brado · 06-25-2008, 12:46 AM

does anyone know the spring rate for the HFP suspension?

Endo07si · 06-25-2008, 05:56 PM

Wow..I just got back from Honda's Parts department and so this is the deal...They want $610 for the HFP suspension(550 on collegehills) and then they want $400+ for installation and allignment...

I know places that will do it 200 but then again you guys all say it will be under warranty if I do it at honda...is it worth the money????

bossanova292 · 06-25-2008, 06:11 PM

i just called local dealer they want a lil over 1000 for installation and kit, its like 800 for the suspesnion, so ill get it on collegehillshonda for sure local dealer is a rip off

joe_23 · 06-25-2008, 08:41 PM

will this fit the sedan non-si? also is it worth it to get this for the non-si?

It's $612 on college hills prior to shipping. You could just buy it from your dealer and install it yourself.

print out the CHH instructions if the kit doesn't come with any. Front is pretty easy since its a direct replacement....the rear you gotta swap shocks and springs...

goodluck.

Love my hfp suspension!

06RREX · 06-26-2008, 10:49 AM

Mutant- could you post any pics?

chris luva luva · 06-26-2008, 10:55 AM

If I get this suspension, will it affect how it drives in the snow too drastically? This is my DD and I don't want to alter it too much.
