HFP Package Coming For Civic Si and 5-dr Hatchback Models

[team3d]

larger size rotors are need it for heat dissipation (brake fade), ideal for road race or cars with alot of torque, calipers is about the bite for you to stop the car.

to shop for brakes you need to know what you need to improve on, to stop the car ? to fix the brake fade ? or both...

most street cars just need caliper kit compare to road race cars that is mostly about brake fade & they don't really need to stop the car, calipers only mostly use for slowing down the car, not stopping the car.

I wouldnt hate a 1" drop on my ex-t with my 19s, but I don't want to pay HFP prices for a 1" either!!!!

Interested to see pricing.

Possibly but I am pretty sure that the part numbers are different and that the Si setup is borrowed from the high end Accord setup.

If you would like, I can get some confirmation on that, simply email me separately and I will fwd it to the right people at R & D, the ones engineered the product(s)/parts.

The Si rotors are larger, along with the calipers. I assume they would not be compatible with the Sport hatch calipers.

Never assume... especially with Honda.
I had Integra rear trailing arms and disc brakes, and the Integra master cylinder on a '95 Civic EX (came with drums in the back, back then).
Honda - and most Japanese cars - use parts sharing for the cost and quality advantages, as well as platform engineering so they aren't wasting money reinventing the wheel over and over.
I'd sooner assume they likely fit!

Why can't we get a nice ecu tune?

 

[Mugenkb1]

Nice. I'm definitely interested in the lowering suspension.

There's already and Endless big brake kit available. I go for Endless over HFP any day.

Where's the link to this unicorn?
Tried searching for it, but only saw an equally vague claim that it exists... for the Type R.

Be nice if there was a HP boost with this package.

 

[fiend busa]

I wonder if this would be applicable to leased hatchback.

 

[lunarsilver]

Are they planning a bumper cover package to replace those awful fake vents?

Just horrible...............

I liked the HFP suspension kit when I had it on my 08 si sedan.

My objective was that I wanted a slightly stiffer suspension that still retained comfortable ride quality as a daily driver yet fun to drive. Something similar to koni yellows with good springs and a mild (or no) drop would have been ideal, only there were no koni yellows for my car back then that I knew of. I didnt care about how the car looked and was trying to avoid aggressive lowering. I was very happy with the HFP suspension and pleased with the value given the $600 price.

I am actually using koni yellows and swift springs on my daily 08 hybrid sedan and love it.

I would definitely look into HFP again, but hold off and see how people are liking it and if there are reliability issues for about a year after release, before purchasing them for my 17 hatch.
