This is great news!!!

glad I waited on doing my suspension mods.I have a 2012 Fit A/T and love it in stock form so this addition should add to the fun.

I just want to improve the handling and not go to low with the drop or make the ride to stiff for the street.

I was looking at going with the Bilsteins or just Swift springs with stock dampers but I like this set up even better.

I think that is a decent price for what you get with this B-spec kit

There is no reason for this kit to include anything less than racing-level spring rates, which are much too high for street driving.

I agree. I'm sure that kit will be much too aggressive for your average American street. It may work for some, but there are much better options for a street car for significantly less money.

good points but I will wait to see spring rates.It looks like half the cars on coils have very stiff rides and not ideal for the street.

I'm talking the slammed cars and I don't want my car very low at all.I think compared to what I would spend on the Mugen set up or even the Bilstein this may be a good option.

I've looked into all of the other coilovers for the GE8 and narrowed my choice down to the Mugen suspension or the Bilstein's untill this B-spec kit that I have added.

I really like the other parts offered in this kit because they are exactly what I planned to upgrade on my Fit.

I will make a decision once more feedback comes in on this kit but it looks good so far.

Just an FYI

This parts, like most of the parts from the HPD site, are not available for the general public.

You have to be a shop that has a race car, have a race license as a driver or be affiliated with some type of racing series to be able to order HPD parts.

I contacted them over a year ago on this and they made that very clear.

I could meet the required criteria to purchase the HPD parts but the "as is no warranty of any kind" is something to think about.
