no creaks here...

my hfp suspension is very quiet... quieter than my stock suspension with sportline springs

Yeah my HFP suspension is quieter than my stock suspension.
If you want less body roll, you will achieve that with the HFP suspension. If you want a smoother ride you will not. Though I have noticed a smoother ride on the very well maintained roads. Better ride on smooth roads. On rougher ones a little worse than stock. Its cause of the stiffer dampers.

Well it appears the clunking sound maybe coming from the control arms. Ive brought it back to the installer and he suggested white lithium grease on all of the bolts bushings etc. I tried that and still nothing. Monday hes going to take the wheel off and dig in deeper. Could the control arm get damaged during install? I know it didn't make this noise prior to the install. It also didnt make noise right away either, took about 3 days to appear. Now its all i fixate on....

THE HFP suspension WONT void my warranty will it?

^ No. Unless installed incorrectly from anyone else than your dealer.

I am looking to get an HFP suspension for my ex sedan ASAP. I live in canada and the dealerships here charge over 1400$ installed for the kit... Buying from collegehillshonda looks like it could be my best choice, but shipping to canada and duty taxes would still bring it up to around 900-1000$...

My other option is to have college hills honda ship it to vermont, and i'd drive 1.5hrs there and back to pick it up, but i would still have to pay duty taxes (6 or 7%)

Do any of you have any idea what i can do to save some $? I just installed a used si suspension and the rear shock broke the day after

so i decided to dish out the $ for the HFP...

Call around to some local dealers and see what they charge for the only installation and then order it from college hills or you could go down to the nearest Honda dealership in the States and have it all done there.

have them ship to a stateside USPS depot, then pick it up there. for toronto folk, that would be the buffalo location. not sure what borders montreal though.

dude, try and get it from the same seller that this post is all about, baldwin auto supply on ebay. I contacted them, and they let me have my kit for $440, with $95 USPS shipping to canada, also marked as a gift. It got here in perfect time, good condition, and only had to pay $30 in taxes for it. so in total basically about $600cdn shipped all things included. If your having a hard time finding them on ebay, shoot me a pm, but even if they don't have a listing for one, they might be able to still source you one they might not have listed. Oh, and even if its an auction for $440, you can ask if you can buy it now for $440 and they agreed without hesitation. Best of luck!

OK clanking sound solved. Some how the sway bar was out of place and was hitting the spring. I had the installer check it out finally with a lift and he put the sway on correctly and now its good to go.
