Hello does anyone know if the Honda Fit shocks are same as Honda Insight?

going to use the Rear Honda Insight Coil Springs. But was not sure if Shocks are the same

thank you.

 

Can’t answer your question about Insight shocks being compatible with a Fit. Why are you replacing the springs ? Seems like a waste of time and money unless there’s a problem. I just replaced the rear shocks on my 09 that has about 140K miles with the KYB shocks. Shocks made a slight difference in ride quality but I was not expecting a huge difference either. I also have a aftermarket rear sway bar and that did improve the body roll of the car in turns.

 

Hello I seen in another post if you use the Insight Springs it will lift the car 1” or more. As due to the battery pack in a Insight.

so I didn’t know if the shocks were compatible
or if the Insight would give the car better ride quality

ill be having tools in the back so just wanted to be over prepared for the weight

 

Where did you get aftermarket sway bar

 

See this link for the sway bar, looks like it’s out of stock right now.

Now sure how much weight you are talking about but new aftermarket shocks might just work for you.
But I like to save money whenever possible....

 

Thank you, I found Springs for 40$ total so it should be a cheap mod.

how are the KYB shocks?
only options in my area are KYB or Monroe OEM.

 

you failed to mention, 1st gen, 2nd gen, or 3rd gen insight


no useful info from me either way, but I'm curious of the outcome
