From my understanding the HFP is tuned specifically for your car while the pro-s does not have adjustability other than the ride height, and when you change the ride height other things need to be adjusted. So for looks I'd say the pro-s is better, but for handling I think the hfp is a better choice. It's cheaper too.

id say Pro-S if for no other reason than height adjustability. . . but HFP would probably be the best all-rounder

HFP will handle and ride a lot better but only drops the car 1", the Pro-S will allow you to dump the car as low as you want at the expense of ride quality. Basically, ask yourself if you want handling or looks and make your decision from there.

Pro-S handles like ****. And thats being perfectly blunt. Driven both and I know how both handles.

i just went from pro-s to hfp.. i was running pro-s for a few month now. pro-s is a very stiff ride, i just couldn't take it anymore. just installed hfp yesterday and it rides so much better. i miss the drop, but i dont miss the ride quality
