This may seem like a weird question so I'm going to apologize ahead of time. I'll keep it simple and sweet.

HondaPartsNetwork lists the following weights -->

Front Spring: 5.86lbs
Front Shock Absorber: 9.2lbs

Rear Spring: 3.6lbs
Rear Shock Absorber: 5.6lbs


Does anyone know the weights of any aftermarket spring and/or shock absorber suspension setups that will also enhance the ride/performance of the 2015 Honda Fit? I'm solely looking for lighter, even if the ride is similar to stock. I'm not asking if it is worthwhile to go this route. Just asking for weight information. I'll continue to search around for weight information. Thanks for any help!

 

There are definitely weight savings with coil over style springs, especially Swift springs. Since GE suspension seems to fit, you could likely get something used ar a reasonable cost. Personally I'd get a set of rear Koni yellows from Koni Redshift, maybe not a ton of weight savings but higher rear rebound would sure help on launch!!

 

TPColgett, this is the kind of information I'm looking for. Thank you! I just need to know now how much they weigh (If anyone has weighed them).

 

I haven't physically weighed anything in forever other than my new front assembly (koni strut and GC sleeve, 8lbs 4oz Vs my old Skunk2 ProC's 7lbs 12oz)

 

I'm just throwing this out there...I don't know if it works...

I was with some car friends over the weekend and one told me about stacking tennis balls inside the rear coil springs (!!!) to increase the stiffness. He said it was a way to boost the stock spring rate in stock class. Might reduce squat off the line on the strip.

Sorry for the digression...

Anyone tried this?!

 

It's a cheap idea. I read several links mentioning it but no results of actually doing it. Looks crazy though!




I have a pair of coil spring boosters that I installed a few days ago. I've been driving around with them without any issues. I am reluctant to comment on how it feels just yet. Need more testing!

 

Dang that is crazy!!!!

I'm guessing it's a way to stiffen the spring rate and get around the rules restricting other methods.

That is nuts.
