factory performance suspension

Will the fp suspension from a coupe , work on a 2005 lx sedan? has there been any differences or anything done to it? i want to have a clean stock sedan to say the least, so i need something to compliment the 16 hfp 7 spoke wheels i wish to get too, thanks for helping me out

i would like to know as well.

but i think the FP suspension will drop the car only .5-1" ?

i can bet the price for it would be high... might as well go aftermarket IMO

Does anyone have this suspension on their car, I wanted to know if they change the shocks and all. I wonder how the car feels.

they use a "pre-assembled spring/shock/strut system", so you get a new strut.

and they say it's "factory tuned" so it's probably a different model strut than the original.

Yes, it will fit, but you will have to get the whole package including the body kit, spoiler, and wheels. You can't just buy the shocks and springs unless you find someone selling a used set. However, it may sag in a sedan, but I don't really know. I know it will fit.

Rob... Honda figured out that they couldn't rip people off in full, so they're parting things out now.
Honestly, I think some Tokicos and a set of prokits would do you better given the aweful survival rate of Honda's struts, and I'm pretty sure that all the FP springs are are Honda branded Prokits.
