13.5 SHOCK ABSORBERS
A. The make of shock absorbers may be substituted providing that
the number, type (e.g., tube, lever, etc.), system of attachment
and attachment points are not altered, except as noted below.
The interchange of gas and hydraulic shocks absorbers is per-
mitted. The following restrictions apply:
1. No more than two separate external shock damping adjust-
ment controls. This permits the use of shocks which origi-
nally came with more than two external adjustments, which
have been converted to double-adjustables, only if the addi-
tional adjustment controls have been permanently disabled
(e.g. via welding, epoxying, grinding off). Gas pressure
adjustment is not considered a damping adjustment.
2. Suspension geometry and alignment capability, not including
ride height, may not be altered by the substitution of alter-
nate shock absorbers.
3. Adjustable spring perches are allowed, but the spring load-
bearing surface must be in the same location relative to the
shock mounting points as on the standard part. Shims may
be used to achieve compliance.
4. The fully extended length must be within plus or minus one
inch of the dimension of the standard part.
5. Electronically controlled shocks may not be used on vehicles
not originally equipped with such units. Vehicles originally
equipped with electronically controlled shocks may use the
standard parts or non-electronically controlled alternative
shocks subject to all the requirements of 13.5. Non-standard
electronically controlled shocks are not allowed.
Are you sure? It sure looks like it's allowable. The Fit so called "coilovers are same design as stock (no additional parts or coil over the rears the front is struts so coil is always over) It also states adjustable perches allowed.
