yeapers...

 

what about the t1r b52?
im debating beteween the skunk2's or the t1r's any suggestions?

 

KSport = D2. Same general kung pao special coilovers = heaps of steaming junk.

Progress make any good coilovers for the Fit? I know they have some nice ones for the EP3 civic. I would check with Tein too.

 

damn now vtec junkie got me having second thoughts on the ksportss! damnn...

 

progress made some a long time ago but never went into production. skunk2 and t1r and best, but you have to pay for the quality

 

most people pick the skunk2s over the t1rs

 

that is because t1r's are made for the track. they are very stiff. skunk2's are stiff but tolerable for DD

 

hmm.. i don't know if i can agree with that. on a 205 tire with a 50 sidewall my pro-c's can be pretty jarring on even on the lowest setting. my parents hate riding in my car, thats how i judge the DD quality LoL... personally, i like it and couldn't have it any other way

for the OP:
FYI, my valving is 7 front and 8 rear and it can get difficult to modulate the gas pedal with my blitz throttle controller on sp3, even on half-way decent roads. i'm going to try Texas Cyote's spring mod and see if the extra tension will help.

 

i said they were stiff lol but compared to t1r which skip over holes and stuff.. they are tolerable. lol

 

the general consensus is skunk 2's are stiff as hell. to me that makes t1r's completely unsuitable for daily driving.

unfortunately the concept of what makes a good daily driver is different to all, but it safe to say most folks ideas are probably closer to what the average person considers a track car than a daily driver.

skunk2's are great, but i woudl never use them. the fit is bumpy enough as it is.

and i know you stated that you didnt think the enduratechs lowered enough, but being super low and wanting a comfortable ride dont really go hand in hand.

i would say tein basics, enduratechs, or the aj-racing dampers and spring combo are your best bets for comfort as long as you dont want your fits ass dragging all over the place.

 

so the gereral opnion is skunk 2 is more dd tolarable than t1r.
that being said... i will be rinning 17/7.5 with 43 offset volks... max drop for me would be only about 1 1/2 inches before rubbing becomes an issue...and winter is also an issue... will i be able to acheive stock hight with t1r or skunk2's?
also...what is coilover is considered a higher qualiy? what would last longer...
i could get them boath used for around the same price... what would yall go for??

thanks in advance

they are both very high quality.. no isuess that ive heard of.

 

My t1r's are stiff as hell. The car literally jumps over bumps. Not very DD friendly. I'm looking to get a new set since my rear struts just blew out at 50k mi.

 

What are your roads like in TX?

 

just ordered my d2's today. for the price you can't beat them. if there not made in japan or germany all coilovers are made in taiwan. just go with what you like they all offer 1 year warranty and are rebuildable.

 

i heard d2's are horrible from 2 people. but thats just what i heard.

im right now debating from skunk2,std and ksport. i get those for killer prices and they are withing 20 bucks of each other. so im just waiting to see what i get.

 

k sport skunk all made in the same factory as d2 i got my d2's for $810 heard skunks are like riding on rocks. what spring rates do you wan't to run?

 

Skunk2's here. I dd my Fit and have no crazy harsh ride i keep hearing about on here...lol. Just crazy handling.
It helps to have a moderate wheel/tire combo to go with ur coilovers.

I can't believe no one has mentioned the KW variant 2's. There are more to coilovers than just ride stiffness. Can't speak about the Skunk2 - they do look great. The KW variant 2's are great street/track coilovers with true full adjustability, they are meant for performance not drops/looks.

 

i would just wait. tein is coming out with the flex compact series. allready listed on the japenese site
