Considering the HFP suspension kit for the coupe. I'm not looking to drop my car a couple of inches and "rice" it up. Just interested in lowering it about an inch to add some handling & subtle sporty looks. The honda parts/service rep I use has also recommended the Eibach springs, but says bang for buck the HFP kit is a good deal and for $100 more per corner it comes with warrantied struts as well....

Thoughts from those who have them and any pics are great!

I've never had Eibach so I can't comment on that, but I have the HFP suspension and I love it. The car handles great. Like you, I didn't want an extreme drop and the HFP kit lowers the car just enough in my opinion.
The stiffer ride took some getting used to but now I'm glad I got it.

Here is a link to when I first got the car:

Eibach is top of the line, I have had their set ups on pretty much all my rides and never had a problem.

I had the HFP suspension on my 06. I liked it, though don't expect a giant improvement in performance as they are primarily built for comfort. Though, I would go with the HFP kit over a spring only setup on stock shocks. I'm just not a fan of putting lowering springs on shocks not valved for them.

I am enjoying the HFP kit too. The drop was needed, and its noticeably stiffer but still feels like a stock car and isn't unreasonable. I'd recommend it.

Where is a good place to get the HFP kit? I have a 2005 V6 coupe. I'm only looking to lower the car about an inch or so.

I would speak to my local Honda parts rep or go to one of the various OEM Honda parts distributors online...

About 3/4 of the way down the page should be the set you're looking for:
