Koni vs HFP

jpv027 · 03-05-2007, 09:39 PM

How big of difference is the handling between Koni Yellows, koni fsd, or the hfp? If I got the koni, I would probably go with eibach or progress springs. I want to upgrade my suspension on my daily driver, but was wondering if its worth the extra money and the wait for koni shocks and struts. Also whats the difference between the yellows and fsd, which will give a better ride, and which will have better handling? Thanks

I know, thats why said is the difference worth the wait or if i should just get hfp.

Konis will, without question, be a better track-oriented option. HFP is designed with daily driving in mind.

hey guys, sorry to go out of topic, but figured i'll just post here instead of making a new thread, what are the struts options now for the civic si coupe? it sucks they don't have our cars in japan (si coupe), mugen ss is available for the sedan :-( I had mugen ss on my rsx before, and man, i love it, they know their stuff. I would think the best choice right now is to wait for Koni's and a nice set of springs? Coilovers just don't do it for me, lots of potholes here in NYC, and they're not good for potholes.

Go with Megan coilovers ... thats what i had and they were awesome.

i had coilovers before, tein ss on my rsx, coiloves are great, but i daily drive my car and don't track the car at all. lots of porholes = bad for coilovers, so I changed them to Mugen ss and they were awesome, i think my option is shock/springs combo. thanks though.

Where can you get them cheap? And are they difficult to install?
Do you think they are okay on a daily driver? You are the second person to recommend them but here in Indiana we do have a lot of Potholes and even though I am careful I do sometimes hit some.

Thanks for your input.
