Civic Coilovers????

hey guys... newbie here. i was searching on your site and came up short (maybe i overlooked something or maybe it hasnt been answered).

i was wondering if Skunk2 Coilovers from a 1988-00 CIVIC, CRX, DEL SOL will fit on a Fit.

just so we are clear... its not the Coilover/Shock combo.



the reason i ask is because i am planning on purchasing a Honda Fit in the near future and i have coilovers from a civic that i currently have on my 90 integra. even though the Skunk2 website doesnt have the integra on the fitment list for the civic coilovers... i found them to fit just fine... so i was wondering if this will be the same case.

Thanks!

Probably because the GD Fit has a torsion beam rear suspension...

I'm assuming the shorter coilover sleeves on the right are for the back. The rear spring "cup" on the GD won't accept those

Correct me if I'm wrong.

is there any difference between the 07 fit and an 09? or do both years have the same suspension setup?

bump from the dead,

how does the front tophats work? I'm familiar with both, and I recall the civic top hats being a little different from the Fit ones. The rear of my car is the perfect height, the front needs to come down jussttttt a little
