H&R Cup Kit Isn't Out Yet...: (

I just got off the phone with a rep at H&R and he told me it would be another 6-8 wks before they would even have a clue. This really pisses me off b/c i really need these things now. WHY DO COMPANY"S TAKE SO DAMN LONG?? The car has been on the market for 3yrs now, isnt this enough time for research? Oh well thought i would tell ya.

The fact that our front struts mount somewhere different than past civics make it harder. That is why there aren't any real shocks out yet besides the insert konis and coilovers. Coilover replace the whole setup so it is easier. I have talked with tokico and they said that is the problem with our cars.

well its not the fact that they mount different, its that its a completely new setup for the Civic. The old vics used a unequal length control arm setup, which was great for handeling but the ride quality didn't fit the image that Honda was goin for with the new vic, so now our cars have macpherson struts. Which are good for ride quality but suck for really good handeling.
