i want to get the one which will provide the most benefits i guess.not sure what the cage does other than stiffen the chasis.PLEASE HELP

 

You DEFINITELY want the Progress Rear Anti-Sway Bar!!! Read the LONG thread- nothing but rave reviews, absolutely no one who owns one has a complaint.

 

Echoing what Manxman said, the Progress sway is THE single most cost effective no downside mod out there for the Fit. After putting it on, there is a very subtle difference in the ride. The handling difference is hugely noticeable the first time you corner resonably hard. Turn in is much sharper. My friend/coworker wanted to look into a rear sway for his Focus after a ride in my Fit.

 

Definetly the Progress bar, all ive heard is AWESOME reviews for that thing, and its not exspensive..Its a great mod to your cars handling.

 

x46376527257656324 on the swaybar. ive heard nothing but good things about it! all the "cage" does is take up room in your cargo area :P

 

I vote for the rear sway bar, Macbuddy and manxman sold me on the idea during the last fit meet .

 

thats good to know since the sway bar was my first option. thanks everyone

 

any reviews on the cage set?

 

sway bar for sure....

i too was thinking hm...all the strut bars for the car....

or sway bars...i have decided to get the front and rear sway bars instead first.

 

the front sway is imho stiff enough even with the rear progress bar.
i still get plenty of understeer when the crappy ziex912's break.

 

A little OT, but lose the front sway bar and it will clear up your understeer. The front end can use the extra flex to shift weight on the outside tire more and fight the understeer.

 

i've heard about this. always wanted to see someone put it to the test.

 

Yeah, in theory but I think you would have to really dial in the back in order to get more neutral handling. If the back was too tight, then you would get some snap oversteer. The fit is tricky because the weight distribution is odd. You have a tall hatch in the back, a fuel tank in the middle, and a stubby nose with a light engine in the front.

I have gotten my car close to where I want the handling, but it needs some roll center adjusters and a limited slip to finish it.

 

no the car would roll too much and loose straightline stability along
with the ability to reposture upright itself after coming out of a turn.

the spring rates are not tuned to work without the front bar.
i would keep the front bar the same, add the progress bar, and
add better tires up front, same tires in the rear but narrower width
if this was for race application.

 

so sway bars intead if the cage will best for improved cornering?
