I ordered my Cusco coilovers from RHDJapan. Got to my door really fast. Honest and cool guys at RHD. Just my 2 cents...

But have patience though...I'm sure coilovers will be coming out in the U.S. within a couple of months...at least I think theyre gonna be some that are sold here in the states soon...

The Cuscos are comfortable! Retains stock characteristics, not too stiff, not too soft. Going over big bumps, the coilovers are smooth for considering that I can't stick a finger in between the rear gap. Here in L.A., crappy roads are everywhere. I'm on 205/40's and its not as smooth as with a beefier tire, but still smooth for what im running on. No camber adjustment though. I need some negative camber to clear from rubbing though...

BUT, anytime the car's dropped, never gonna run as "smooth" as stock though... The sacrifices we make...

what are the specs of your wheels? i'm guessing around a 40 offset on a standard 7 inch rim? how much camber are you running up front?

how much smoother is the ride in a 09 Fit with coilovers? @ stock it's slightly bumpy on older roads with wear and tear in them.

Sorry...Should've reworded the word "smooth" or provided clarifaction. When riding on the coilovers, they are much more bumpier than at stock height w/ stock suspension. And the fact that I'm running on 205/40 low pro tires, I feel every bump in the road.

The coilovers are "smooth" for a dropped/lowered car. Much better than just lowering springs with stock struts/shocks. Considering how low my car is, the ride is good when compared to the aforementioned.

I'm not sure if that made any sense to anyone else or not... Sorry if I can't be of help...

The wheels are 17x7.5 with +43 offset riding on 205/40R17 tires. I haven't realigned my car since I messed with the coilover settings not too long ago... But, I do know that it's under -2...
