haha... ^^^

anyway I posted a link to a video i made of me compressing the oem rear shock. With my car "lowered" in the background. The HFP shock after being compressed comes back half as fast.

My Kit gets installed tomorrow! Did you need an alignment after installing?

Goy my suspension installed while I was away in the white Mts on vacation.
My first impression was WOW!! This tightened the whole car up, feels like its riding on rails. I love driving it even more than I already did. This kit really is the best mod Ive done so far way better than intake and exhaust as far as noticeable gains from install. Dont get me wrong I love both the intake and exhaust and matched with 17inch HFP wheels good rubber and the HFP suspension kit I feel like Im driving a BMW now as far as handling goes.

I will post some pics maybe tommorw if I get a chance, so far the drop looks to be about 3/4 to 1 inch though not settled just yet either.\

I definetly noticed a stiifer ride a week into it. Still not to bad, but makes me think the roads I've been riding on the past couple of years aren't as great as I thought. Flater cornering, smoother ride on the nicely paved roads.

Has anyone noticed they need an alignment now?

aznives3 · 07-01-2007, 08:50 PM
