Not really at liberty to say...sorry.
Had to go through alot of channels though...beg and plead with many a Honda dealer.
They have asked me not to disclose that infomation though.
Sorry. :(

hehhe, ALWAYS :D

anywayz. I was looking into get Mugen SS, due to the fact it ride somewhat like stock and lowers the car. All other setups are to stiff and will be to harsh for my beater. Mugens are nice, but it's a 1.4" drop. I want something a tad higher, due to the fact my Double X-Brace scrapes.

What springs are you currently on right now?
How often and on what do you scrape?
I'm thinking about getting the X-Brace but we have a nice speed bump at work that I cannot avoid...I just don't know if I could deal with hitting it EVERYDAY.
But I'll let you know how the suspension works out and hopefully you can find one soon.

so with the mugen suspension thats all i need to lower the car? cuz its a full replacement taking care of springs and shocks. so i dont need a camber kit or anything? also i'd like to know how big the drop is because after reading a few posts i'm thinking of forgetting the whole HFP suspension kit and just buying the mugen suspension. and where can i find it online?

No, no camber kit is needed with the HFP suspension kit.

For the mugen kit... www.kingmotorsports.com
For the HFP you won't need a camber kit, but most would reccomend it for the Mugen kit. SPC would be a great choice in that department.

But just so you know, I will post up a review about the HFP after it is installed.

I'm on Tein S-Tech springs. they say it is about 1.5" of a drop, but I'm thinking 1.8-2" drop. I scrape alittle when I go over speedbumps. So if you're on HFP suspension, you should be alright.

Cambers arent really needed for Mugen SS. Our cars need the kit when u go beyond 1.5" of a drop.

I just ordered the Mugen SS today. Last week I put in some Tanabe GF210s that claim a 1.5 drop, but man it's got to be more than that. I can barely squeeze one finger between my tire and the fender. I'm hoping to have the Mugen kit installed next week sometime if you'd like to know the difference in height.
