Question CRZ Coilover Question?

I have read alot on coilovers and one thing that keeps popping up is that the CRZ ones are the same for the fit and vise verse. The only thing i need to watch out for is spring rates or lengths becasue the crz has a taller spring in the rear. So my question is, if I were to find soome coilovers made for the crz is it true that I could use them for the fit second gen? The ones I was looking at were the cusco zero 2e, so that way I could get the 2e motor connects and cabin adjuster. Im in a wheel chair so adjusting settings would some what of a difficult task. Allowing me to change setting inside of the car would open up so much to me for this car. Unless some one knows of a kit all ready for the fit that allows this to be done. Im open to suggestions. Remember, Im in a wheel chair and would like to be able to elctricly adjust the dampening settings.

They should work, a friend of mine got some BC coilovers for his fit from another friend that had them on his CRZ. They bolted right up.

From quick research apparently this guy has Cusco Zero 2e on his GE8, I didn't find anything specifically marked for the Fit/Jazz so i'd assume he used the CRZ ones?

Not exactly the same, the tie-rod mounting point is slightly different. Hayashi-San of Toda checked specifically for me when I asked since he has sussy for the CR-Z and not the GE8.

couldn't you just swap in an adjustable tie rod?

Yes I suppose. Not sure if it is just higher or lower between the 2 or just located differently altogether. Hayashi-San just said it wasn't compatible off the shelf.
