2018 HFP Shocks?
According to this article the new HFP Fit has much more aggressive springs and shocks over the stock ones:

I've really been hoping to find an OEM-type shock that would pair well with my Swift Springs on my '15 Fit (it gets a little bouncy in the rear), and I wonder if this might be the answer.

They are available already, shocks and springs look to be about $650.
I would like to know if it's possible to purchase the shocks without the springs (would prefer to run Swift springs for a little more drop. 10mm vs 25mm) from the dealership. Forgot to ask when I was there earlier this week =/

This may be a bit of a noob question but would these parts work with the 2015 Fit EX 6MT? At the College Hills Honda website they’re listed as 2018. They have the 2015-2017 as a separate category. Wheels and suspension kit look very appealing. This is probably for a different thread but also considering the progress rear sway bar.

If you're looking for a how to guide, I used this one from the GE section. Worked great, but I found I didn't need to remove the main part of the plastic trim below the windshield. As suggested on the second page of the thread, using a ratchet wrench gives you enough space to work with just the small panels removed.

ratchet wrench ftw .... saved me the trouble of having to remove the wipers/cowl
also.... fun fact (but I dont endorse doing it) .... it is possible to remove the spring minus the spring compressor.

I don't believe you can get the springs w/o the shocks.
Also - anyone know why the 6MT HFP kit is different part# than the CVT HFP kit? I ordered the AT kit w/o realizing there were different part#s. Trying to figure out if it will work or do I need to send it back to the dealer and pay a restocking fee.
