Are Bilsteins worth it?

What are your thoughts on these? Worth it even today?

i would like to know this as well

Bilstein are good quality; the more performance oriented stuff gets very stiff for daily driving, especially on bad quality roads..

Given these older Fits aren't worth too much money, you need to decide carefully where budget should be allocated. For higher mileage Fits, you might find an optimal investment would address obvious worn parts on your car; so have somebody do a full check on the wheels, suspension, steering, etc. before considering an upgrade IMHO.

We recently replaced a bunch of parts on a similar car. The only known bad part was a tie rod end and that provided most of the improvement IMHO. The new tires, brakes, struts, springs, & drop links make the car drive like new, but were spendy. Well not too spendy as we got most of the parts on clearance and my mechanic buddy insisted on doing the work free of charge.

I put Bilsteins on my 2009 4 years ago at 100k miles and the change is revolutionary. As others have said, it's an investment, but one I would say is worth making if you're into spirited driving.

How's the feel on rough roads?

I would also like to know how Bilsteins ride on poor roads. Do they have better dampening? Are the springs stiffer than stock? I for one think the fit springs and shocks are a bit stiff and dont really absorb a whole lot.

Isn't that the reason why we drive the Fit (sporty driving experience with road feedback).
Or else we might as well buy a 70's Caddy
