anyone with HFP upgrade struts and springs? Just curious if anyone has the upgrade struts and springs offered by the dealership. Im tempted to get it done to my 05coupe and i know people who work for honda so parts and labor would be cheap.
I need some feedback on the handle. Thanks

I went yesterday to the honda, my friend who is the parts manager quoted me $500 for parts. And my uncle is the main service guy for the same honda. So he wont charge me to put it on.
A friend of mine from Tennesse was quoted like 3Gs for that. But i think that price was BS.
As for the drop:
"High performance pre-assembled springs that reduce the ride height by one-inch and lower the Civic's roll center;
High performance shock absorbers tuned for enhanced handling characteristics" ---thats what hondanews.com says.
I would like a lower drop, BUT i live in New Orleans. If any of you have ever driven our streets you'll understand my reasoning for just the 1inch.
When i get it, ill definately let you know how it handles.

Rep Power: 384 can you get the rest of us deals like that ? cause tokicos with pro kit is about 589 or so, but wont you need a camber kit even with the factory hfp?

Rep Power: 331 correct me if im wrong, but i think a camber kit is only needed on a drop 1.25 or more.

Camber kits are a smart idea, dropped or not.
