bilstein coilovers? anyone?
Saw them on tire rack
Then JC Crimson from the GD3 group, brought them to my attention again.
They seem easy. You only adjust the height. Don't have to mess with ride comfort. Everything is pre set. Are there any other coilovers like this?
Anyways. They seem fairly priced and easy to use. The drop seems fair too about 2" front and back. So ill be lower than my pro kits now. But not "slammed".
Does anyone have these yet?! Pictures?!

Manxman has been in contact with Bilstein numerous times over the years about producing shocks for the Fit... I think that Tokico is about the best thing going for us right now for decent shocks... I have yet to find anything about the Bilstein coil overs.. If there is a link to them I would appreciate it a bunch if someone would post it.

Man I really want to try these. I don't necessarily want my car much lower but I've had Bilstiens on all 3 of my Audis and they are incredible shocks. Best riding performance shock by far.
I've had Konis on 3 cars too and they all rode the same. Feels like you have no suspension below 60 mph. Great handling though.

My Jazz (fit) is using the B14 system from Bilstein.
I like the fact that this is designed specifically for the Jazz for day to day use, so it won't be too stiff while producing a good balance of control.
With the current set up using 205/45/R16 +42 Offset wheel, i have no rubbing issue what so ever even at full lock to lock. So i am happy about it...
Here are a few pics of it.

The rear is at the lowest possible....the front still has a bit to lower....
I guess question for some are that it is not low enough at the rear. I guess (maybe?) they did consider the fact that the rear will sometimes have luggages and passengers, so it wont be too low.
