you said DD afterwards. I'm referring to your original post, which is false. and Ive been in a car with HFP coilovers and a car with a 2" drop. it may be a tad bit stiffer with HFP but good luck going through speed bumps and high inclined driveways/ramps.

im not starting a argument here but your getting too defensive when its plain and clear that you think it handles better than HFP.

You are saying that its better than hfp, because in your opinion its better for DD since its not too stiff, or are you saying that its going to handle better than full hfp kit, when you get those shocks?

ok lets end this argument , i spoke to soon out of excitement when i said handles like hfp but corners better, i meant it handles better DD from my exp of driving both hfp and my car and yes i do believe with koni's it would outperform hfp. and thank you for the compliments i guess thats all i wanted didnt need someone to rain on my parade and just ask a question then just assume what i mean

we'll just end it addy. he has a sick drop, and even though its difficult to say that koni's with a huge drop will outhandle HFP's.. its fine. theres more variables than suspension travel restriction.

looks good bro, i got neuspeed 2'' drop, all you need his hfppppp lip! hah aand IMO handling on a drop is way better, less body roll.. regardless of stock shocks or not.. you get better feel and lower center of gravity. sure, the look is there, but nonetheless your handling has a difference. if you don't appreciate the drop, drive a stock height si and then you'll realize the difference.
