If Honda comes out with the HFP suspension for the CRZ i'm jumping on that.
I installed it on my wife's Si...slight drop, no rubbing, very stiff.
Really changes the car's handling.

i'd get the HFP too but it's not low enough for me... i had Tein S-Techs on my Si 1.5" in the front 1.4" in the rear... perfect drop for the Si... no rubbing even with bigger 225 profile tires... improved handling a whole lot too...

the CR-Z i think will need more of a drop than the Si so HFP is probably out of the question for me on this one too...

Already? Wow...that's quick.

IIRC I've seen parts already out in the JDM side... but then again of course.

I can't wait to get it here. I probably won't be doing lots of hardcore stuff. Maybe your basic springs, strut, and chasis parts. Also I already read that tanabe is going to be needing the car once it comes out to test those parts. According to this: Tanabe USA R&D Blog | Research & Development Session Updates Day-to-Day

So that's quick easy free parts right there.

I would probably drop it with the hfp kit (if available) and get the factory Honda 17s w bridgestones. Nice and clean.

i would drop with the HFP too... but IMO they never go low enough for me... take my Si... HFP was 0.8" or so... the springs i bought were 1.4-1.5"... not a huge difference... but way better on the looks IMO...

Mluisgr81 · 07-25-2010, 09:49 PM

It definitely looks better, no argument there. With how low the car will come, to me anyways, I figure a mild drop is enough.

bizzybear · 07-25-2010, 10:52 PM

well where i live, i can manage with a slightly lower car...

My previous tuned car has airrides.. that was handy!

But I think I am not gone lower it, at least not as low as before.
