so far all i can find are mugen and spoon ?

i have swift springs already

i found some on the japanese auction site ratuken

they replied they cant send bc it has oil in it ?

anybody kno of a better solution ?

thanks

 

Coil overs

 

No bueno for city drivin in jersey

 

ask tenso if they would ship it.

 

There are currently no "sport" shocks for any 2009+ Fit in the US that are off the shelf.

There are options for the REAR ONLY from RedShift Motorsports.

And Koni announced they are developing an SRT.T or "Orange" but don't expect that to be available any time soon.

There are a ton of simple more "comfort minded" coil over setups that are "soft" enough for daily. I would look into the T1R Basic from A&J Racing. They have a group buy going on on here somewhere.

 

Buy Mugen from JHP?

Mugen 5-Way Adjustable Suspension Kit - 07+ Fit - JHPUSA

Or go coilover

 

^ that is a kit designed for a GD.... But it could work on a GE

Seriously, these are going to be 1/3 of the cost or less the...

Yes was checking and it shows the same part for 07 to present on all websites, I thought GD shocks were shorter than GE but you could get away with GD c/o because the height is adjustable anyway, not sure how that works with the Mugen pieces.

I kind of just want someone to get them and post pics on a GE

There's much cheaper options for sure.

 

I'm not sure if you are running the Swifts with stock dampers at this time?

or do you just have them and waiting to install with shocks?
I have Swifts and they seem to work well with the stock dampers and upgraded tires +rsb

I could not justify spending the extra money for Spoon or Mugen if I'm keeping the Swifts.I would just go Bilstien coils at close to stock height if I decided to change.

 

OP... Here is a recent thread where this was all discussed in depth
https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...ml#post1177446

 

There is one other options which is
Honda own SPORT Suspension !

Here are the vendor on Rakuten:
(both page from same vendor and at a glance I think same stuff,
but somehow with 2 different prices):
Rakuten: Fitting sports suspension Honda genuine part fitting parts [ge6 ge7 ge8 ge9 gp1] parts pure Honda Honda pure honda part option - Shopping Japanese products from Japan
Rakuten: Fitting sports suspension Honda genuine part fitting parts GE6 GE7 GE8 GE9 GP1 GP4 parts pure Honda Honda pure HONDA part option - Shopping Japanese products from Japan

If you want to buy, just tell the vendor to send it to Tenso,
and I think Tenso can send them to you via UPS (even if they had oil in it).
I think EMS won't sent it but UPS will (this is the same case like things
with Lithium battery that only can be sent via UPS in the past, but I think
now EMS will do it.

Good Luck

Oh Correction,
The 2 kit above have different prices because they are different !!!
One is for people who use 14inch wheel, and the other one who use 15 or 16inch wheel...
perhaps the different is in the location of the base for the spring on the front shocks.

 

There are a few choices on that ratuken website ... shipping is a pain tho ...

 

i would gladly spend extra for Spoons, but i cant spend that money to wait for it for months to arrive... i have too many expenses and that money would be better spent on something else in that time. what did you end up doing?
