Been trying to find a picture of a coupe with 17" HFP rims + HFP suspension but not luck..

Get the eibach prokit or comparable and shocks a year or so later when a good set is out, you'll thank yourself later...

HFP is very stiff and doesn't add much to the looks but is a fine product.

Ride on a prokit or similar moderate drop on stock shocks is fine. The shocks will start to wear out after a year or two and the ride will start to be a little more harsh but then you get good aftermarket shocks that provide a smoother, more comfortable ride than the hfp setup. If you want to save money, go Tein but Eibach is quality... had them on several cars now, pleased with all of them...

I'm a fairly new member but have trolled the forums and threads for the last month pretty hard. Just got the HFP suspension on my RR 06 coupe. The ride height is a bit lower, perfect for me being a daily driver and really evens out the rear of the car compared to the front. I always thought the rear looked like it sat higher than the front. The ride quality is a tad harsher than stock but very tolerable for day to day driving. Once the stock Michelins wear out and some stickier tires go on it's going to be even nicer, very happy so far and it's only the first day. Oh, and the dealer where I bought it installed the kit for less than 180 dollars, under three hours, with an alignment.
