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.

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:
