Question Shocks/Struts Upgrade to go with lowering springs?
I'm waiting on an order of Skunk2's for my Fit. Is there any shock/strut upgrades available yet to replace the stock ones? I figured I might as well since I'll be doing it anyway...

Thanks in Adavce!

Check out www.aj-racing.com for Spoon and we got better prices

I think KYB and Koni should come out with something soon. If you want JDM, JDM KYB, Spoon and Showa does make shocks for it.

I got my tanabe df210s last night, I was told they are the prototype springs they tested for the usdm fit but when I got them they said GD1 all over them. So I guess the JDM GD1 springs fit the usdm chassis but dont take my word on it. I called them (auto fashion) and they said that they are just set at a different rate- didnt know if it was tighter or softer. I dont care I just want to install them right now but I will probably have to wait till the weekend.

I've contacted Tein, KYB and Tokico, all of them tell me that struts will not be available for the USDM Fit until next year

I guess the OEM shocks/struts will have to hold on until then...
