How to tell if you have HFP suspention.

I just bought my 06 RR SI coupe not to long ago and it feels stiff and drives stiff, but seeing that the HFP suspention has such a drop i cant really tell if thats the suspention i have. What is the best way to find out which supention i have on the car, Stock SI or HFP,with out haveing to take the supention off.

thats true, but seeing that the HFP kit drops it only .8 of an inch its kind of hard. if any one has pic. of the HFP supention on some 17"x8" rims that would be perfect.

there are a lot of pictures and people saying that its good and giving thier opinion. but i have been looking on here since i boght my car, and i have yet to read or find one that explains the best way to check if you have the HFP suspention on your car with out having to jack up the car and actually takeing the wheels off and looking at the suspention.

if you can at least take the wheel off you should be able to see the part number on the strut itself. then match it to either the OEM number of the HFP number. Or if you can just get the car up in the air, you might not even need to take the wheel off to see the number.
