nice vid, car seemed to hold itself pretty flat....and with making the plain claim that we know will be coming (running quick on the street, especially without an apparent ability to foresee much oncoming traffic)
what all else do you have done to your car? looks like you could use some front neg. camber...

Maybe 3/4" or so? I think mine settled over time.

BTW, I love my HFP suspension! I toss that car around... it makes me so confident.

Bombero, what tires are you running? I have Dunlop FM901 from the dealer. They're "ok", but I'm sure I can find way better.

Holy shidt, you're running on 19"? My 18" seem like there's hardly any rubber between the rim and the road. I'll bet you really dodge the potholes, I know I do.

Thanks for the info.

what all else do you have done to your car? looks like you could use some front neg. camber...
The car is bone stock other than the wheels / tires / suspension....
And as far as neg front camber. The car is totally neutral... no push at
all. It's actually unbelievable. I guess Hona engineers know what they
are doing, As I had the car aligned by Honda. With the specs on the
installation instructions especially for this suspension. Works like a dream!
