Does anyone know how spring rates change with the HFP? Stockers are set for massive understeer at the limit.

BTW I'm in Murrieta if you wanna take a look at the SI suspension and hold it up to your car and what not just let me know..
Pm sent. I take it you have the stock Si suspension assembly dissembled?
And your car lowered on another set of springs?

Here's a pic of the drop you can expect:

Simply beautiful.

Do they have the same suspension kits for the 4 Door LX Civic 2007. I think this car drives fine if you don't use the steering wheel (straight line no turning), as soon as you turn it, it dives and feels mushy. Also bottoms easily. Especially with 4 people in the car. Like to improve these symptoms without suffering during the 120 mile commute daily.
