it's an excellent unit. it's been over 7weeks since installing them
and i have absolutely NO REGRETS. these are prefect for daily use.


wat matter is as you stated: do your own install to save that $150-250.

learn while you install how to adjust the heights, etc. learn the structure
of the car. it's fun and useful info.

it is a very high quality piece. the craftsmanship and ride qulity
defines that. it's worth the wait.

Actually I already know the structure of the car quite well and more. I've already done my due diligence.

At this point I'm a little laid up just having hernia surgery. I don't want to hijack this thread but you can see from the above two listings that I have been involved with the Fit suspension. I have used custom springs/struts/shocks AND coil overs on other vehicles in the past so I'm not new to this.

The stock Fit suspension suffers from a lack of shock travel on the rear besides sloppy design overall. Honda has made similar flaws with other vehicles.

From your feedback, it sounds like the valving on these Eurotech's is dialed in well and that's what matters most for street comfort.

They have arrived and ready to ship!

Hello all. Thank you for following this thread and being patient with me.
I am happy to say that the Endura-Tech Honda Fit coilovers have arrived and are ready to ship out.
You can go to // Endura-Tech // Home for further information and pricing.
I am happy to say that we will be able to price these a little less than what I had been stating in here. These will ship out w/in 24hrs of your order. Our inventory is limited, so this is a great opportunity for anyone looking to get in on a great deal.
PM with any questions. It is a safe bet that anywhere in the lower 48 states that UPS shipping on these will be about $42 or less depending on your location.

Thanks again for all your consideration and patience.

Endura-Tech

You would have to use the OEM top hats unless they are shot and you wanted new ones to use. I could only suggest the obvious and check about getting them from a local Honda Dealer. Clearly this may not be the "cheap" option.

hey wala- did you order your set yet?

just reuse those factory hats. it's real easy to take apart. did you
break yours or something?

about -3" front -2" rear from stock. im not sure how high it raises past
stock height.

after playing around with the heights and daily driving with people onboard, etc.
i found that -1.8" front and -1.3" rear is probably the best overall balance for
handling, functionality, and appearance with these EnduraTech's.

here is the setting im using right now. can go lower if you want, but
for me this height is balanced for my purposes. im runing shorter 195/50/15's
so if you run factory size the wheel gap will be that much smaller.
