Fit Sport vs LX

does the Fit sport have a different suspension setup vs the LX. we took a Sport and an LX and noticed a significant difference in road ride. would the 16" vs 15" rims make that much of a difference?

Yes the tires make the biggest difference. However, there is a rear sway bar in the Sport model that isn't in the LX.

Yeah it made a huge difference for me going from a USDM Base Fit to a Sport Fit. Just the wheels and tires. Felt way stiffer and more planted on the ground.
