I trust your guy's opinion. The ultimate goal for my fit is a quiet comfortable ride. It is mostly a daily commute vehicle so I would like to get a new suspension system to make the rider very smooth. I have read good things about T1Rs and D2s.
Is there a suspension system with adjustable dampening that is a pretty good bang for buck? Keeping in mind that AJR will be having an "new location" sale early this week.
Thanks guys!

IMO coilovers and comfy don't really belong in the same sentence unless your saying "these coilovers are more comofortable than the old ones with stiffer spring rates". Coilovers will not be more comfy than your OEM suspension in any way shape or form unless you have some custom spring rates and dampening rates made by someone like Tein. Also keep in mind that K-Sport coilovers and D2's are basically the same thing. They are made by the same manufacturer and have the same parts (atleast with the xA/xB1 coilovers), maybe they are different now with Fits?

He was saying it wasn't nearly as bone jaring as he was expecting, it is a very comfortable yet still firm ride.
If he still has it for sale you can probably get a pretty sweet deal on it. Will save you a lot of cash and give you Baller status
It seems as though YeeFit did sell his J's. I am pretty well looking to make it a smooth ride. I am not sure if shocks and springs are the best approach, but I believe it is.
I think any springs and suspension you pick up will generally stiffen the car up for cornering.
Maybe try out a set of Monroe Max-Air shocks in the rear, they are an adjustable shock you can increase or decrease the pressure on at any gas station air station. You can set them nice and soft to absorb more vibration and sound.
They are not to expensive as well

If your just looking for a softer smoother ride buy the softest shocks you can find and keep your OEM springs. Any aftermarket spring you buy will be stiffer than OEM unless you have some custom made to be softer, which might not be a good idea. Or you can buy some tires with a larger or taller sidewall to help absorb bumps in the road. I don't know if Fit's can be reflashed for different tire sizes though so your speedometer might be thrown off if you go that route.

That sounds like something I will look into. What do you think about the Monroe Sensa-Trac shocks?
that would not lower it at all if you kept the stock springs though. You fill need a physically shorter spring to change the ride height. I would strongly recommend a shock and spring combo that is sold as a kit as they are already matched for each other.
That will offer best performance, reliability and comfort.
