I was getting a set of Cusco, but was told they won't arrive for another month or so.

I am now looking into a set of BC coilovers, Full height adjustable with springs F 5k & R 4k. Every review I have read on other forums looks good.

Taiwan Bor-Chuann= BC-racing =

US site: bc home I don't think this site has been updated for the new Fit.

Those are the guys to follow.

Many people look at what the coilovers look like, I am more interested in how they perform under normal driving conditions. After all you can't even see them once they are fitted.

well without proper dampening... a stiffer/shorter spring would pop out of its perch because of the design of our rear suspension... im on stock shocks for now because there are no aftermarket adjustable dampeners available... so with a stiffer/shorter spring in the back it can easily pop out...

when the aftermarket catches up with springs and shocks are available... i'll gladly buy some shocks and a RSB... but why do you need such a stiff rear spring? im not hauling anything... theres no engine in the back... and if its understeer you're worried about, a RSB would effect balance just as well without worrying about having an oversprung rear suspension...

my spring rates
F: 6.7kg/mm
R: 3.2kg/mm

another example of spring rates for GE coilover
RSR Basic-i
Standard Spring Rate
Fr: 4.0kg/mm
Rr: 1.90kg/mm
Hard Spring Rate
Fr: 5.0kg/mm
Rr: 2.60kg/mm

Anyone using BC Coilovers on the GE. I would love to know what they are like for daily driving.

thanks for the feedback. I really want the f2's feature in Hondatuning, but they aren't released until the end of summer. I found the Cusco Zero Comp 1's are made for a GE8 and so are the Tein's. I think I may be getting the Tein's but the drop doesn't seem that much. Anyone own the Tein coils??? How's slammed does it make the car???

When you say it rides like stock. Do you mean soft like stock, but without body roll and sway. How long has your brother been using them and on which model?
