H&R INTRODUCES EXCLUSIVE CUP KIT FOR HONDA CIVIC

Bellingham, Washington (March 7, 2002)-Extraordinary. H&R Special Springs, LP introduces the exclusive Cup Kit suspension system for the Honda Civic. The Cup Kit was first introduced by H&R and has set a new standard in the suspension market. The first to design a suspension system with the benefits of an extremely low ride height, exceptional performance and handling, while still providing an outstanding ride, H&R continues to lead the suspension market toward excellence.

The Cup Kit lowers the Civic approximately 2.0 inches in the front and 1.75 inches in the rear. Cup Kits are changing the way people think about very low suspension kits. Ideal for first-time buyers and seasoned enthusiasts, these kits offer precise handling without sacrificing the comfortable ride of the vehicle. Cup Kit applications are available for 1992 - 1995 Civics' and 1996 - 2000 Civic applications. 2001 Civic is also planned for production!

This dynamic suspension system consists of our custom valved, shortened shocks that are specifically matched to ultra low, special progressive springs, thus creating the "H&R Quality-matched System". Added benefits of the Honda Civic Cup Kits are that they are height adjustable and externally damping adjustable, allowing for personal tuning of your Civics' ride and stance. Cup Kits are also very competitively priced.

"Cup Kits are perfect for the younger generation involved in the sport compact marketplace," said Roland Graef, president of H&R Special Springs, LP. "Cup Kits provide them with extreme lowering and increased performance, without yielding a harsh ride. All of these benefits are provided at a very affordable price. Cup Kits have become especially popular among Civic owners."

H&R Special Springs is a German based suspension company that has been built on a foundation of superior quality, true performance and the best customer service. H&R has established a proven heritage of unsurpassed industry respect and customer confidence, all of which gives H&R the definitive edge in suspension tuning and design. All H&R products are crafted in Germany and exceed ISO 9001 quality assurance standards. H&R maintains a U.S. facility located in Bellingham, Washington, where additional testing and research are conducted. For more information, visit www.hrsprings.com or call (888) 827-8881.

So they may in fact be adjustible, Does any one have them now and can verify that?

blouisgod, can you verify this please. All of the information I've found about the Civic version of the cup kit says otherwise, including a Press report form H&R dated 03/07/02.

ok guys i just called them. the rep said its koni style shock with a **** that can be adjusted. also, the spring can be adjusted by a thread, just like a coilover setup! you can see it if you go here, link , and go to 2002 civic cup kit and there is a photo. damn, seeing this makes me think about getting it. its probably a better ride than tien fulls

Zzyzx

Yippie I know what suspension I'm getting!

uhm.. i dont see the threads.. i'm guessing its just like konis tho cause i know the konis are "height adjustable" in the rear... its not like coilovers but they are still adjustable(or so everyone says)

Zzyzx

It may just be a stock photo, Most companys do that when the real thing is still in development.




Ya, this is definitly a stock photo, It dosn't have the arm for our stearing rack on it.
and the attachment for the front strut is totally wrong. THis looks like one for the 6th and earlyer gen civics.

Has anyone asked H&R or know what the spring rates are, front/rear?
