Does any body know if there is an aftermarket rear shock for
Fit ? I have tried Monroe, KYB, Gabriel, and no body makes
rear shocks for the Fit. I do not want to buy from the dealer
in my country (Panama) it cost $169.00 dollars each.

If someone know what other car rear shock is compatible with
the Fit, please let me know and give me the brand and
part number.
Thanks

If u are planning to replace the OEM version with a better one. I surely recommend u getting Tanabe Coil Over which enhanced both the ride and u can surely adjust the height of the cars. Unsure where u can get those in panama though.

King richard,

Can you explain whats the difference between a coil over and a shock absorber?Also can you post the part number of the Tanabe Coil Over?
Did you personally use this?Currently I'm finding that the OEM rear shocks a bit lacking in everyday driving conditions...The streets here in Manila are murder!
