Had a voicemail msg from a nice lady at Honda today

, asking me to call her...

Unfortunately, didn't pick it up till about 6pm, so will be doing that tomorrow.

I'm soooo excited - it might be good news!

It wasn't good news

Honda (UK) have been let down by their suppliers, and will therefore not be able to provide the sports suspension pack

Hy guys, i order May of 2006 my sport suspension, but the Honda not delivered. I call my dealer (5th times) and i asked ***??? The dealers says temporary not available, because the suspension kit not worked as well. I asked, what's the problem? He just as much see the order system comments: weight problems. I'dont know how what is meant.... but i'm now very angry

I guess it might be different answer for you - my answer was from Honda UK...
But seeing as they are made over here, I wouldn't hold your breath - sorry!

What's the part number for the Eibach drop, and howz the ride with the 18's and the drop? Does it ride harder or is it the same? I've contacted H&R, waiting for their reply as well...

TT - you have the patience of a saint.

How would the Type-R springs, dampers and anti roll bar(s) suit? Although its a 3 door I wouldn't expect there is a great diff in weight. Also expect it would be a very expensive option.

Definately need to stiffen my rear (!) as it lifts the inner wheel when accelerating around a corner (shame).

LOL - patience, or "can't be arsed-seness"

I did think about R, or possibly even S springs - but didn't (see above

)
I figured the Rs would be dodgy, having a heavier engine up front

S ones from a 2.2 might work - but the only advertised difference is the 20mm wider rear - no drop in height, which was partly what I was after

H&R et all would be an option for private owners, but not as a company car
