Time for Coilovers/Lowering Springs! Advice?
Howdy y'all! I love my '16 Fit, but I'm not impressed with the way it handles (very high center of gravity, wishy-washy ride, things like that). I know I want to improve the handling, but I do not know if I should get full coilovers or just lowering springs. I'm not looking to get anything SUPER high-end (KW'S, etc.) because the Fit is only my daily, but I would like some advice on what coilovers I should get to lower the car slightly and improve its handling. Thanks!
i had an '02 SI for 16 years , was lowered almost from new ( around 1 1/4 inch ) , would'nt want to live with a car like that again .
my fit handled quite well right out of the box , actually , much better steering feel than the '02 . i've added a rear sway bar and a few chassis
braces front and rear along with fatter stickier tires . i'd stick with something conservative for shocks and springs . you could check out
HFP ( honda factory performance ) for their strut - coil spring combo . i think it's only a 10mm drop but it'll tighten up the handling
without beating up the ride . besides the steering , a big advantage the fit has over the SI is a much stiffer body shell . goes a long way
toward handling
