FINISH DEVELOPING YOUR ADJUSTABLE YELLOW SHOCKS ALREADY!!!!


*venting mode off*

 

+1, the fit has so much potential, its garnered so much attention, why are they sitting on their laurels?

 

I heard a while back that they aren't developing for the fit and don't have plans in the future, expecially adjustable. I don't know if anything has changed since then.

 

Don't worry they ARE in development, I've called twice a month for 3 months and they keep talking a little about how its going, first they were in design phase, then in prototyping and ever since they have been in testing. They told me they are coming out Q1 2008, no specific date though.

 

Good news! I am waiting for some Koni Yellows just like everyone else is.

 

OMG! I can't wait! I've been waiting for this day... now I wish they made an in-car adjustable control system that goes on all their shocks... like the tein's... I WISH! but this will do fine...

 

Was thinking to wait for Koni/Bilstein/KYB but afterall I bought a set of SHOWA tuning for my car.

 

Showa shocks? Where'd you get them and how much?

How's the ride versus lowered on stock shocks?

Thanks

 

This is the kit that I got and I'm using Eibach pro-kit instead of Showa's own springs now. The ride is a bit on the soft side probably due to the Eibach springs.

But it perform wayyyyyyyy better than stock shocks with lowering springs. At least i can definitely feel that the Showa shocks is actually absorbing bumps.

I got the kit from Hong Kong myself.

 

Thanks for posting some good news. In my routine checks on stock availability from major shock/strut makers, I was surprised to find out that Koni has a set available for my wife's '06 Scion XB, so I was hoping for good news for my Fit sometime soon.

 

I think AJ-racing sells the Spoon shocks... which are the same as the Showa shocks. Pretty baller shocks since 2 more bills will get you the killer bee or megan racing full coilover setup.

 

I am going to call Koni tomorrow and see what is going on. I'll post back.

 

SHOWA TUNING -performance-

These are the ones I have. Cost me around 650shipped here(depends on that day's exchange rate).

 

spoonek4, would u tell me where u got it from HK? or do you still have connection? i want the sport one...

 

PM sent r.c.y.k.

 

I've been in corespondance with koni about this several times, and they specifically told me that they are not currently working on anything for the fit.

I'd love to know that I talked to the wrong person, but I trust his information.

 

Well Tokico has their shocks listed as "available soon". So maybe something will hit the market.

wow, hope that tokico is really coming out soon

 

I called Koni and they told me that they are not comming out with shocks for the Fit. They want to, but currently they are not. They are having problems with the spring perches on the Fit's shocks. SO, as of now, things are not looking good for us Koni fans.

The person I spoke to said he is a regular member at Honda-Tech. I asked him to post in the Fit forums there so hopefully this confusion will be cleared up.

Sorry for the bad news!

 

Now that sad, but Tokico is just a cheaper alternative! Lets hope they release the Illumina's for the Fit.
