JDM Sport Suspension?

Have you guys seen this? Will this fit the USDM GE?


japanparts.com : PARTS DATABASE
(scroll to the bottom)

I had the HFP Suspension on my EP and LOVED every bit of it...this is a bit more than what I paid for my HFP (had a hookup) but looks nice...

Site says drop is 25 mm (about an inch)...that was the drop on the HFP...was perfect for my needs.

Discuss...

Yeah...HFP would be THE solution...but if they don't come out with it by the time I'm ready to do some suspension upgrades, this might be a viable (albeit more expensive) option.

Yeah definitely a much more expensive option than just getting springs, and just cutting the bump stops... But this would be an OEM fit, and since most of my mods are Honda products (JDM, USDM, etc..) it would fit perfect with what I'm going for.


Between the messed up roads here and me always loading up my car I can't slam my ride but the JDM, or HFP suspension would work the best for me....

I'm hoping this fits the USDM GE8's.

Yea...that's exactly how I feel. HFP would be the best viable solution but you know...who knows when Honda will come out with one for our cars? This would be a great solution--if I had my fit, I'd be itching to test it out--won't have it til Septemeber at the earliest.

I've seen the JDM suspension on Honda.jp ---> http://66.196.80.202/babelfish/translate_url_content?.intl=us&lp=ja_en&trurl=http %3a%2f%2fwww.honda.co.jp%2fACCESS%2ffit%2fexterior %2fsports-suspension.html

I've even seen them installed in a previous thread ---> https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...it-friend.html

but that is the Thai version, and I have no idea if the suspension will work for us... I know we have different front & rear bumpers, and some foreign markets come with rear discs, but I can't recall if the suspension will work for our USDM GE8's I think it was mentioned before...

I fixed the link for the honda.jp site.... I had actually linked to the JDM corner camera page... lol..

HONDA|HONDA Access|FIT|Exterior

Japanparts has it a little more than the honda.jp site, plus shipping would be up there... I'd double check prices with Nori (the ebay seller) I'm sure it would be less... Still it's expensive, but OEM, it's not adjustable (afaik), and it's a conservative drop, but it suits certain people for certain needs...

I really wanna say that is fits, but I can't recall what the verdict was for our USDM Fits. I'm almost sure it was mentioned before but b/c suspension is probably my last mod if I even do it, I dont remember.

Yeah, I had figured out the link and found what you were pointing me toward

Hmm...from what I can see, looks like it will fit. I'm gonna poke around a bit more...this may be something I do after I get my fit.
(is it September yet?)

Yeah, the front/rear view camera addition to the stock Navi is one of my dream mods.... Too bad there is no easy way to do that if it's even possible..... Other markets get some nice goodies...

Post back any findings on fitment... I've been ordering quite a few JDM Honda parts from Nori --> eBay Seller: plijokkjiu46521kkjh: Parts Accessories items on eBay Motors very reliable, trustworthy, and shipping isn't that bad if you buy a lot of items all together you save... I think he works at Honda over in Japan.... hmm he would probably know, since Dave is not around too much lately

I was going crazy waiting for my 5MT w/ Navi... even made a thread about it... lol.. I winded up waiting ~4months, even though I could have had an automatic the same day I put the deposit down.... regardless I couldn't be happier, trust me its worth the wait...

Here's what is killing me now...the dealer I had been talking to, now says they just got in what I want...and so I emailed and called...and I guess it's typical busy Saturday because I haven't gotten a call back. Now THIS is killing me. (I could buy now with the discount they are offering)

If anyone's got any experience setting up group buys I would definitely be in for this.
