what would be a stiffer spring we could use?

 

Before you get this, know it was designed basically for the CR-Z as it comes with a 16mm bar. This bar is, if I remember correctly, about 1mm thicker than the stock GE bar, so you are not really going to notice a difference. Spoon will sell you one though if you so desire.

For those of you saying your Fit understeers greatly, you may want to pick up the stock CR-Z bar. My Fit is very neutral in handling with no additional rear bar, but front subframe support and mid-chassis under bars coupled with the sussy itself.

 

the stock ge8 front swaybar is 24mm ??

why would cusco sell a 24mm front swaybar then ??

 

I just installed my cusco front sway bar and it's 2mm bigger then stock when I measured. When you have them both on the ground you can see the difference and once installed you can feel it too. The car is really responsive with the new sway bar on.

 

U have a GE right sir? I'm really hoping there's a Cusco front sway bar that fits the USDM GD3!!!

I really like to see if front sway bar's really gonna sharpen up the turn ins. I personally don't like racey stiff suspension or lower my car too much to reduce body roll. Yea my car may have less body roll that way but I totally sacrifice comfort for daily driving & stability around bumpy road courses.

 

If anyone getting a new fsb, get the spoon one its cheaper and its the same size as the Cusco one. Also its a p.I.t.a to install. I think it makes the fit handle a little better, but I have yet really tested it out since its on my wifes car that I don't drive that much.

 

21mm - stock front swaybar

vs

25mm - spoon front swaybar

i had both swaybars on a 04 wrx ... made a huge difference !

 

does anyone have the spoon front swaybar yet ?

wondering if it's a direct bolt on without modifications needed...

cusco is 24mm i think ... ?

 

i just bought one. getting it installed tomorrow. i only have a progress rear sway bar and its otherwise stock.

 

its an auto base fit. 19mm rear is a tad bigger than the stock sports 17mm, so it wont be as SPOON intended, but hopefully better.

 

It's pretty hard to install without a lift. You pretty much have to remove the front subframe to install on the GE. I also did an alignment while I was at it. Just take your time with it.

 

install is a PITA, but well worth it!

 

The NA Fit comes with a 21mm bar up front? I was wrong back in Dec, the CR-Z has a 18mm bar and the GE8 here comes with a 23mm bar.

 

If you don't mind,
could you please tell me where did you do the installation?
I am planning to buy this Spoon Front Sway Bar,
and I had ask my Honda Dealer, and they refuse to install after market sway bar...
so if you have a good place/shop that already had experience install this Spoon Front Sway bar, please kindly let me know.

and how much did you pay for the installation cost?

Also where did you buy this Spoon sway from?

Thanks

 

I got the bar installed at Autowave in Huntington Beach. They service my NSX. It was $200-something to install... but I was the guinea pig, so who knows if they is the going rate or not.

I got the bar at GoTuning in Orange.

 

Thanks so much for your information,
I just check Go Tuning website, and the price is very good
plus they are so close to my house too

Thanks again.

 

no problem. yeah they said they don't stock much for the Fit because Fit owners don't spend money... but CRZ owners do spend money, which is why they have plenty of these sway bars in stock. hopefully, we buy all their swaybars and tell em its for a FIT so they change their mind and stock more stuff for us. they are official US distributors for SPOON and J's Racing, yet they barely have anything for the FIT.

 

official J's Racing distributor you say ?
wow, that is even better, cause I had been emailing J's Racing USA email,
asking the size of J's Racing master cylinder for JDM RS but so far no response (only read receipt).
I will ask go tuning when I go there...

Also, I now remember that I once visit Go Tuning website cause I was looking for pricing on Recaro SR-7, but somehow I missed that they also sell spoon too...

Thanks again for another great info about J's Racing from you

 

dont get too excited, they make you special order anything they don't have in stock... and they told me they wont stock anymore GE8 parts.

 

Well, if worse came to worse,
There is always JapanParts.com and other company in Japan specializing as middle man to buy everything, even directly to J's Racing in Japan,
or I could bother my old friend in Japan again, but only if I have to
