Any GK (mines an '18 Sport) actually have the full HFP Suspension installed?

How's the actual ride compared to stock in day-to-day situations? Unbearable?

 

I have the full HFP kit on my car except the wheels (still in the boxes) because I have lightweight 15x7 Enkei RPF1 wheels with 195/60 Firestone Firehawk AS tires (29.5 lbs total per wheel/tire). I am 63 years old and I find the ride to be totally acceptable. The 15” 60 series tires are obviously more forgiving than something lower profile. I love the HFP suspension, the car sits a touch lower and handles beautifully. I can definitely tell the ride is stiffer, but it rides way better than you would think, given the increased spring rates.

 

Spacecoast Tardis - this is slighlty off-topic but thank you for posting the above photo of the HFP kit.

I too selected the Enkei RPF1 in 15x7 (ET 41mm). With Hankook Kinergy PT 737's in 195/60 15 my set is 27.5 lbs per wheel/tire.

I work in a medical clinic and confirmed the Enkei's were 9.5 lbs each as advertised. Tire-rack lists tire weights, and I've never known how accurate those might be. Most tires in the size listed 20 lbs, the Hankooks listed 17 lbs. Two of the 4 mounted tires speed-balanced without needing weights, and the other two have just a few stick-ons.

I do believe that (sidewall stiffness and tire pressure being equal) the extra sidewall of 15's does confer noticeable ride comfort. I think 16's "look" about perfect, but made the choice here for weight, comfort, and (tire cost) when going with the 15's.

 

I have it sitting in my living room. It came in last week. But I haven't installed it yet sadly.

 

Your car looks great!

 

Spacecoast Tardis, thank you for sharing you experience.
Your fit looks great!

 

Props for keeping the flame lit at 63!!! I'm 42 and planning on keeping it going till I die!!!! As a matter of fact... On Wednesday I'm dynoing my 2017!!!
Mad respect bro... Or should i call you, Gramps?!

 

I got my HFP suspension installed. It rides so much nicer now. More like how Honda should have upgraded the Sport from the start. Stiff but not super bad for daily use. Nothing bone jaring like coilovers. I recommend them.

 

Now that the Fit is no longer being imported here,

I wonder if it's a good idea to buy the HFP Suspension now before it could be possibly discontinued or no longer available.

 

Obviously yes. I bought a second set for myself.

 

Thanks.

I'll get a set for my 2015 EX stick this summer.

 

Looks great, and I like the 15" wheels as well. Probably should have gotten those from the start. Thinking about getting the HFP setup for mine as well. How much, if any, does it lower the car?

 

The HFP suspension lowers the car 1/4" to 1/2".
The lightweight wheels really make a difference in the acceleration of the car. I have never understood people spending money a big heavy wheels that make the car slower.

 

HFP suspension installed with some new 17" Watanabe Racing wheels.

 

Thanks for the info @Spacecoast Tardis the minimal drop is perfect, I don't want to lower the car, just firm up the ride a bit, and better rebound damping. I agree on the wheels. Lighter is definitely better.
