Hi!

I'm take contact with swift spring to have custom spring for the fit. Direct bolt on lowering spring, it will be possible to put aftermarket strut like t1r, spoon, mugen etc. I think it will be a good way to have a good drop and a good spring rate.

I know they have a lowering spring, but i dont like the spring rate and the drop.

So there's the spec i've think:

front: 1.5 drop / 190
rear: 1.5 drop / 350

If you have another suggestion, comments, feel free to reply.

To have it, i need 9 other person who want it.

Thanks a lot

Carl

 

Lol I wonder where you got the idea for those specs and rates?

 

Id be in for custom springs for my coilovers

 

well, you're my inspiration Mike and you have experience.
I think you have the perfect Fit too at my eyes, All go, No show, exactly the way i think and i want to do.
But im not really familliar with the Fit, i've only own 5 89 to 91 civic/crx, 4 of those was for the track, i've crash the crx at 17 years old

hope you're not mad at where i've pick my source for the spec.

 

lol Nah thanks, they say "imitation is the highest form of flattery" right? Its cool.

One thing to keep in mind, remember with the mugen's they have shortened damper shafts and they raised the front perch. So you will need a 2.0inch "drop" to get the look of an actual 1.5inch drop in the end. Not sure about spoon, T1R is the same as the usdm stock so 1.5 all around would be fine with them.


Whats the cost to get these made?

 

I'm still waiting the price, i've send an email to him today.

Good question about the spoon and the t1r. i'll need to check it.

 

the t1r is fine... same as stock

 

here's the specs of the spoon:

Fixed type
Dampening power (Rebound / Compression)
0.05m/s : Front 52 /-44kgf, Rear 55 /-50kgf
0.10m/s : Front 72 /-62kgf, Rear 76 /-60kgf
0.30m/s : Front 131 /-112kgf, Rear 139 /-125kgf

its a showa product

 

but im probbly sure its the same as the stock

 

thats actually pretty cool they show the dyno specs

i was referring to the actually spring perch height, but your right because its not sold as a "kit" like the mugen damper set is, that the perch is the same

 

its ok, Your way better then I. I took french in grade school but dont remember any of it.

I mean the part of the shock where the spring sits

 

so the costum spring will not fit on the mugen damper if im not wrong, exept if you want a 2'' drop in the front

 

haha sorry for the delete, i've find on google what it was.

 

I found this today:
