Can't wait to hear how it works out for you ekonetics. Hopefully it goes well and we can get the group buy possibly going.

 

I hope it all goes well with the install, along with the rear sway bar I have a couple of other one piece bars I'm going to test out as well so if everything is good I'm going to have fun soon.

 

i want it in black just so when i take it to the dealer they wont know

 

just hit it with some sandpaper and rattle can it

 

yea, but then it will flake off over time and it would look like a cow

 

Rubberized paint, specifically made for springs would work.

 

Impatiently awaiting results

 

Only a few more days until install and pics. Hopefully their will still be interest after the install for those looking to do a group buy if things work out.

 

Just wanted to let everybody know that it fits fine. I'm about to go hurt the twisties in a bit with another Fit. I took some quick pics so the quality is not there, but at least it confirms that the bar fits.

 

awesome, let us know what you think.
Do the bolt heads sit under the springs or does it clear?

 

Do you have a sport, or a base?

The sport has an already-stiffened rear torsion beam, whereas the base has a normal torsion beam. (Without the extra 17mm stiffener.)

People with base model fits could buy the sport rear axle, swap it on, and then have no issues with still meeting Stock SCCA guidelines.

 

SIIIICKCKK!!!!!

i knew it would work!!!!! PM when you get done with those hills bro i want to ask you about the other parts.

 

+1 I cant wait to hear some impressions of this set up!

 

I have a sport model Fit but my setup right now is UR c-pillar, UR rear strut bar, UR rear sway bar.

I will check on the bolt heads later when I have time and let you know but it doesn't seem like it would be a problem for those already lowered with springs.

The car handles so nicely with everything I have done to the rear of the car. It is really planted to the ground and stiff in the back.

 

How was the install? Easy? details please...

 

I had a Ultra Racing rear anti roll bar and other suspension bits on my Toyota Yaris and it reduced the rear sway a lot, but once or twice It lifted the rear end going fast around a corner. I think it needs a stiffer anti roll bar on the front, too. It would balance the car out a bit.

I think anyone using Tanabe springs needs a larger anti roll bar on the front and rear. There is still a lot of body sway and roll, sometimes I think even more than with stock springs.

I have also been looking at a front tower strut bars and all the one I have seen for the new Fit aren't so good. They don't install on top of the struts only fixed on the body.

Then the ones that can tighted, only tighten inwards, not outwards to stiffen the tops of the struts on corners. I think Ultra racing are body fixed. They won't do anything, just for show.

 

what??? what is just for show?

anyways i will be posting up a thread to see how many people will be intersted in buying the rear sway bar

 

i'm in for the group buy.

 

Looking at that picture and I'm wondering if it can be bolted the other way around (upside down) so that it would be tucked up away from road debris?

 

I don't think it can be tucked the other way since its angled to fit a certain way.

The install was easy took about 20 minutes with 4 bolts two on each side.

The bolts do not touch the spring it comes very close though. The heads are on top as well.
