quick question about hfp suspension kit...

well, i've purchased a hfp suspension kit from collegehillshonda recently and i got the fg2 one. they shipped it and i should receive it shortly but i just found out today that they do make a hfp suspension kit for fa5 as well. both have different part numbers. should i exchange it back? or should i be ok w/ the coupe setup. at first, i never knew they even have a hfp suspension kit the si sedan i thouhgt it's only for the coupe. thanks

the sedan is heavier than the coupe, contact them and see if you can exchange it.

just like you posted above they are different part numbers, which could mean different spring rates and so on not a expert not it but i would just go ahead and get the correct hfp suspension.

The coupe suspension will probably work on the sedan.
But I would suggest you get the right one for your car. There would be a slight difference: Slightly softer suspension, slightly lower since the car is heavier and the spring rates are lower, but not even noticable.
-Just get the right HFP suspension for your sedan.
