6.1 in the rear is way to stiff, it will cause dangerous driving caracteristics as oversteer will be induced if braking happens at a corner.

The reason why the reason springs are stiffer at the rear is because the Mcpherson strut at the front is a lot stiffer at the back so if we use a stiffer rates the front will become very stiff.

Stock springs are 2.5k at the fron tand 5.2k at the rear so the T1R springs is not ALOT stiffer.

when do you think the T1R bmax suspension will be released?

[AJ PwR Jr.]

We are testing them now and we will be taking the car to the track to get more data. I think it will show up in about 1-2 months time.

The B-Max coilovers will be on hold for that long huh? I hope not...

[AJ PwR Jr.]

Not for yours

[dougiepants]

Lol Wooo Hoooooo!!!!! Lol

Ben, any idea how well these springs will work with the OEM struts? Any idea how badly the camber will be affected, or is there enough play in the stock setup to correct it?

[AJ PwR Jr.]

It will not be aggressive, the camber from be adjusted from the front shock but I am not sure about the rear cuz I haven't have time to bring the car to alignment, I think I will get it done in a couple weeks.

People need to understand that suspension mounting points and leverage will vastly affect the way a spring rate will react with the chassis.

Just because many of us "graduated" from double wishbone suspension (Golden age sport compact Hondas 1988 - 2000 R.I.P.) does not mean everything is directly carried over.

As a basic though not completely similar reference, one should take note of the fact that the RSX uses a higher spring rate in the back as well. The characteristics will not suddenly produce dangerous snap oversteer as one might expect.

I can't wait til the springs come out; stock ride height just makes the car look silly

If you run crazy offsets, it will

Any update on the coilovers??

I will be testing them on my Fit, AJR time attack S2000 and 06 Si on May 22nd so I will get all the data to make final revision. I will say June

How about the KW coilovers for FIT/JAZZ?

KW Suspension

It lower the car 60/30 !!

Check this PDF

Here's a few pictures of my Jazz. It has the KW...

I read somewhere that the NA suspension is the same as the GD1 sold elsewhere; is that true?
