I read in Sports Compact that Honda doesn't sell FP components seperately... that you have to buy the full package

[hr]Honda tells us that the kit will not be offered piecemeal - you have to buy the whole thing. However, dealers will almost certainly stock the parts, so there's no reason you wouldn't be able to order the wheels, or suspension from your favorite wholesaler. [hr]

Hi,

Thanks to Mr. RichErich for the Temple of Vtec link on the US factory performance page. I didn't know that you cannot buy it seperately in the US. In Thailand here, it is offered as an optional kit and it is covered by Honda warantee, it cost about $500 for both springs and shocks and it is suppose to lower your car by an inch to an inch and a half. I have raised this topic because I'm deciding whether to buy the Honda optional set or a Koni shock and neuspeed option which is abit more expensive, about $600 here. I can't find any forum or anyone talking about it here.
