I got my HFP Suspension installed on my EP this weekend. Install took about 2 hours with the help from my master mechanic at my dealership. The shocks/spring assemblies are a direct replacement for the factory shock/spring assemblies. The car sits about 1" - 1.5" lower than before.

New front assembly on top, old front assembly on bottom:

You can see that the springs on the new assemblies are not as compacted as the old assemblies.

New front assembly weight:

Old front assembly weight:

Only about a pound difference between the old and new front assemblies, but still....

New rear assembly on top, old rear assembly on bottom:

New rear assembly weight:

Old rear assembly weight:

About the exact same weight between new and old rear assemblies.

I don't have up close before pics, but here are some after pics:


Here are pictures at my dealership next to a new '04 Si (White), and a new '03 Si (Blue). You can see that the springs are a little lower by looking at the rooflines/windshields/headlights/bumpers:

hey that's awesome. if it's lowered by 1.5", then that's almost the same as the mugen set. How's the ride so far?

Not too bad. Obviously a little stiffer than the stock suspension, but otherwise I don't notice the bumps in the road that much more than before. There is definitely more reaction with steering now and cornering is improved. Definitely gets 2 thumbs up in my book.http://www.ephatch.com/forum/images/icons/icon14.gifhttp://www.ephatch.com/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif

I've heard many say that u can't buy each component seperate. But so far, u've gotten the suspension kit as well as the new wing. Does it depend on the dealer whether they'll sell each part seperate or do u really need connections?

Looks good. Comparing the newer headlights with the older ones, IMO, the newer ones look odd.

Just out of curiosity, what's the grand total on that whole setup, MSRP?
