i want to drop my 2010 coupe an inch or two. ive seen a lot of people went with eibach but how is the ride quality? has anyone had any problems cause i dont want to run into problems with the warranty either if they arent going to last. any suggestions on what to go with?

if you're worried about warranty, get coilovers.

can you explain what the difference is between getting coilovers as apposed to getting new suspension?

You're getting a new suspension if you're getting coilovers =D

oh i see, thanks....are they just more reliable then?

Indeed. When you get lower springs, you need lower shocks. Warranty will not cover your shocks.

any specific brands you would suggest?

Up to how much money you're willing to throw away I suppose. There are plenty around that our sponsors are selling.

hmmm, well as much as i want to drop it as low as your Tein SS ones do, i live in Chicago, it snows and i dont wanna be doing some free snow plowing....i just want my ride to stay about the same but just give it more of an aggressive look. and as far as money, maybe around a grand?

HFP suspension, about $600?

With a grand to play with i'd opt for Tein SS...Adjusts easily...you can raise it back up a bit for winter AND you can adjust the harshness of the ride till it's just right for you.

If you were on a budget I'd recommend H&R's...gives that aggressive stance without the huge pricetag. Only downside to that is one day, down the line, you will have to upgrad the shocks.

Correct me if I'm wrong but when you play with height and feel, do you not have to readjust the camber?? otherwise your tires will use a lot quicker?

I live in chicago too. I got the HFP suspension which drops it an inch. If you're gonna be driving it year round in the midwest, you probably don't want to go too much lower than that.

:yes: You are correct.

Plus, if you go with HFP suspension you will have no worries about the new suspension voiding the warranty. But as was mentioned, if you go with HFP or coilovers, you'll need a camber kit to get properly aligned.

I've been considering the HFP myself, I just haven't pulled the trigger yet. I'd guess HFP + SP1 1 arm camber kit for rear + alignment will be ~$1000.

This might be a stupid question but, since the HFP suspension is from Honda, why do we still need a camber kit?

It doesn't matter if it's from Honda or a 3rd party, if you muck with the height of your car, you need a camber kit to raise your wheels back up so they sit flat on the ground and use evenly.

Anytime you lower the car, you need a camber kit to prevent negative camber (when the wheels are slanted inwards)

so safely dropping my car an inch, what else would i have to do to it?

Like someone else said, get a camber kit and you should be all set. Keep in mind that the ride quality will be a little stiffer when you lower a car.

alright, thanks guys for all your help.

I was gonna do HFP+camber kit but changed my mind to coilovers. You should think about it first. You can drop or raise however much you want AND you can set how soft or hard you want your ride to be with coilovers. With the HFP kit your stuck with a barely 1 inch drop AND harder ride. HFP+camber kit+alignment will cost under $1000. Coilover+camber kit+alignment will cost ~$1300

But for people who are worried about their warranty and aren't looking for an aggressive drop. HFP would be the better choice. ;) all depends on what you're looking for.

In what way do Coilovers affect warranty? :dunno:

I always thought any mod whatsoever can affect the warranty: exhaust intake coilovers. But the dealer just has to prove that the mod is what led to the failure of the part your claiming warranty on... I could be wrong. But whether or not they can prove it, the dealer will give you a hassle when claiming warranty.
