I just downloaded the 2008 Koni catalog, and they show Fit shocks/struts as "TBA". This is a huge improvement over last year, when the Fit wasn't even shown in the catalog at all.

Not good news, but better news than it was...

I thought there was a thread a few weeks ago about Tockico making shocks?

As far as I know Tokico still hasn't released them. Haven't checked on the thread lately. As far as Mugen and J's, they are probably quite pricey. I'm sure if you were to add up the total of the Mugen or Js plus aftermarket spring you might be venturing into C/O land. You may as well get C/Os. I'm just guessing atm. Too lazy to actually go find the prices of Mugen or Js

the j's are not that bad...the price quotes i have gotten include springs though, which makes sense. as far as i know, the only way to get the modified mugen shocks (showas) is by getting either the 5 way or sport suspension, which is at least a grand, but worth it if you want a well matched suspension and a subtle drop.

but if koni is coming out with some, thats great, because they are pretty good about making sure that all their stuff matches well with a variety of aftermarket springs. and they will probably be cost effecitve too.
