Mugen/HFP suspension

Wierdochild89 · 06-26-2007, 04:28 PM

Im not very knowledable in suspensions but if i get the Mugen or HFP suspension will they hurt the cars Damper since they both lower the car? This got me after reading that thread how lowering your car is bad.

no, lowering your car is not bad but only changing half of the parts that hold the car up is "bad". If you just change the springs you will reduce the life of the shocks. The hfp kit includes the shocks and the mugen kit is coilovers. So if you do the whole job like a hfp kit or mugen kit you will be fine. Also if you are local I do coilover installs for $100 for the whole kit :)

HFP suspension includes the shocks, so your "damper" should be fine. Camber, on the other hand, may need adjustment. If you're getting them installed, they'll usually tell you that you need it adjusted.

Shock absorber is the damper. One in the same.
And yes the Mugen and HFP kits come with everything, including stiffer shock absorbers to match the stiffer springs.

Wow all the quick responses, thanks you guys cleared everything up.
Anyone got pics of Mugen Suspension with 17"wheels or Hfp Suspension and 17" wheels?

The only snag is if either Mugen or HFP (only, I believe) are not installed by a Honda dealer (read: $$$) then it's not warrantied fully, correct?

If you're interested in saving money, RPM2s aren't the way to go.

Actually they are pretty cheap and pretty popular as well because of that. Also they are a quality rim as atrunhonda would vouch for. Less than 230.00 a wheel not bad. Anything else?
