T1R S-Spec Damper kit ! (UPDATED) - Page 3

aj: what speeds where you going that the dampers made the car feel like it was unstable? was this on only the second or 3rd adjustment? will the camber bolts be necessary even for a daily driver?

i like the fact they they are comfier than stock on the lowest setting...but do they PERFORM better than stock at this setting?

It felt unstable when I was taking a long sweeper at around 100-110kph. I did the road test on the day that the damper kit got installed. SO there might be a difference after alignment is done with more negative camber achieved.

Yes camber bolts is necessary. It does make quite a bit of difference no matter all u do is daily driving or sports driving. Camber bolts for Fit are cheap anyway.

hmmm...just seems weird that it would be that way, i've never heard of the j's or mugen setups needing negative camber....i'm sure they can benefit from it in the same way, but i've never heard of anyone complaining of unstable-ness. would this be the case with them too? or is this just something thats for the tr1 dampers?

spoonek4 has test driven the car right after the install so alignment wasn't done. I think he was going through an off camber turn while the Fit has no camber then he felt unstable

Put it this way, you don't necessarily need the camber bolts. You would want to consider to use them if you want to get the full potential of the suspension and full traction to your tires.

Thanks for the clearing that up for me Ben!

I'm looking forward to road test the car again after letting it settle & alignment done to it. I will try both the stiffest & softest setting around corners this time and see what kinda difference there is.

Any update on these Ben? Interested in a set.

so even if i paired these with some other aftermarket springs (say, swifts or gf210's) and i went to my local tire place and got an alignment, i'll be good?

Will they work with the v1 s-coils? im thinking of buying this since my coils are in the closet because i found them too bouncy with stock dampers. Heck might as well buy the new dampers if there is no issue.

AJ PwR Jr. · #51 (**permalink**) 07-30-2008, 10:57 PM

Yes, it will work on the V1 springs.

ben, will these work with the eibach pro springs?

they will work with most aftermarket springs, and i'm sure eibach is no exception.

if people have been throwing them on stock dampers and making out ok, then this will be all the more better.

Yes, the T1R shocks are competable with any aftermarket springs but ofcourse for best results, T1R will be a better bet.

If so, what are the added benefits of having this compared to the stock shocks (longevity? handling?)? Thanks

The stock shocks are a little slow with compression and rebound. When you lower the car, they start to scream, HELP ME. They do an even worse job of handling the bumps and such. This new suspension with T1R springs will not only handle really well and make driving fun, but they were designed for a lowered car application and will do well because of that.
