Good shocks to go with Swift springs
HI All!
I've been thinking about lowering my Fit. It seems like Swift springs are pretty popular and offer a reasonable ride quality with a subtle 1 inch drop. From my understanding aftermarket springs will normally wear out stock shocks quicker (please tell me your experience with this). The only shocks I've seen mentioned for the the 3rd gen Fit are Koni Orange Shocks. The only ones I've seen are for 09-14 Fit, but some say 09+, will these work on my 2018 Fit? Are they a good match for each other? Rear: 8050 1131Front: 8750 1102L |

OEM shocks/struts don't wear out faster with lowering springs they BLOW OUT. With the lowering springs they are not operating in their proper range of motion they were designed for. That's why they blow out the seals.

All shocks/struts wear out overtime.
Aftermarket coilovers generally have shorter lifespans than OEM dampers. If the mileage on your OEM shocks is low, I'd just put the springs on them. If not, OEM replacement dampers are fine. The swifts are designed to work with OEM dampers. |
I would like to use the shocks from the new Fit Sport, but it looks like they are only available with the springs as well.

The MA809, while the air fitting isn't where I want it to be, it can likley be overcome with a wheel hub spacer, a 25mm/1"...i am tempted to get them to compare and return the one I dont use...but only if the diameter of the upper sleeve is under 60mm. Any input???
