Replacement Shocks for the Fit?

Does anyone know if any companies make replacement performance oriented shocks for our Fits? After driving around with stock struts and Eibach springs for a while I'm ready for a stiffer more responsive ride from my Fit. Thanx

i did alot of posting on this recently. springs seem easy to find and cheap. but if you want a shock or damper kit, its going to have to be a coilover set up. im pretty disappointed. I know showa/ spoon shocks are avaible but have to be modded to be installed, and require jdm end links for the front sway bar. and they are 700 bucks + lemme know if you find some, i e mailed koni and they said maybe next year some time on their shocks

If anyone catches word on those T1R shocks pleast post! Not that I'm eager to jump on them but I want to see what their price is. I'd rather wait for a bigger company like Koni and get their stuff. thanx, that is all.

Haha you guys are hilarious! So any word on shocks yet? Still waiting. My car seems to be pulling to the left. Maybe needs an alignment but it looks like the left is sagging. Thats why I want new shocks to handle the increased load due to lowering.
