yeah just stick your hand under the front wheel gap, and see how many coils are on the front if it has three then you have it, if you have four then nope

Take a tire off, count the coils like previously mentioned, or report back with a part number on the strut.

HFP brake kit uses stock calipers, but replaces rotors with slotted (there is a small amount of red on the kit IIRCC) and pads, but the HFP will not include red calipers.

HFP has these as brake kit.

Here's an ebay link on what the HFP brakes would look like. It's slotted and has painted brakes

you can buy it, the prices have dropped on the hfp suspension. or theres always lowering wit springs or a different set of coilovers
