That being said, I plan to put the MT kit on my AT Sedan. For $480, this is a screaming deal. I figure at worse, I will get a little nose-down rake.
I can't see 65 pounds making too much difference, in the rake (a mm or so?)

Yeah, like everyone says, it's a subtle 1" drop. The ride quality is definitely more harsh on uneven roads. It's like bumpy in the parking lot (where it's uneven for me), and harsh on broken freeway. However, it is of course, butter smooth on smooth roads. In terms of cornering, it definitely corners better, and has put confidence in having the car take corners harder and faster.

However, always be safe! know your car's limit... don't want another wrecked civic out there.

Quick question for this post...Do you have to order a front and/or rear camber kit with the HFP Suspension for the LX? Every car that I've lowered has just been taking springs out and putting new ones on, no shocks, no struts. Luckily the camber kits ran $35 - $80 depending on the car. I saw the Skunk 2 kits for like $250, front or back.

I agree. It is definitely firmer than stock. I was told at last years Dragon meet that my car was absolutely flat in the corners. The ride is tolerable but there are some railroad tracks in town that my car absolutely hates now.

If you're looking for a mod to increase your handling performance, I highly recommend it. I like the subtle drop as well. I have no plans to get anything different...but something from Koni could change my mind down the road.
