Mugen Si Sedan Suspension

Does anyone know if the new Mugen Civic is using the actual mugen suspension from Mugen or is it another Mugen version of it? Also, is it possible to get the Mugen suspension from Honda like the GP rims?

Same. Wouldn't be surprised. If only we knew the specs on the HFP and the "US Mugen" suspension...

This may be too early to tell or may have been answered somewhere, but how does the HFP Suspension compare to the Mugen Suspension? Technically.

Interesting. I bet spring, shock/ shock pistons and valving may be different.

Still curious though.

no one knows that yet. we're still waiting on part numbers to be posted. collegehillshonda says the part numbers should be in the computer soon.

Here is the part number off of the shock itself & no it doesn't match anything on the King website.

50000-XVJ-000 1206

are you sure? it doesn't look like a standard part number. the HFP is 08W60-SVB-100 so at least we know it doesn't match.
