Already expressed my interest but want to see min-max ride height on the Fit.

No prototype for the Fit yet I take it?

Ooh if only I didn't have this accident the other day. >.<

Would these coils be able to reach factory ride height if needed on the USDM GD3 chassis?

so you say the front has more to go? i'm just worried these won't be low enough. lol.

on the east coast here, we have some pretty shitty roads. are you able to tell me what the ride is like? i've seen coilovers on friends cars that are wayyyyy to bouncy, others that don't move, and your tires, rims and body take all the compression of a bump. i'm on t1r s-coil springs....if they go that low, or more....that ride height is prefect. my only concern would be the ride.

i'm very intersted in a set of these.....just have alot of questions. suspension is important......and so is the drop and ride of my fit

EDIT - any possibility of a group buy on these? the price is a wicked price already. just asking the question.

Dayam !!!! Not low enough LOL. We cannot make it too low because you will be decreasing the tire to fender wall clearance plus you don't want to run SUPER low on shitty roads.

Ride is mainly developed for street so it will have decent comfy ride. It will not be soft as a boat

We need a fair number of interests before we can make this happen so GUYS who are interested, I will put them on the list

oh i have no issue and don't think will have an issue. lol.

so these are my t1r s-coil springs on my fit. tires are 195/50R16's. i know you don't have an exact height of what the coilovers will be, but do you think they will be like this? i'm sorry for the bug bug bug about the ride height, i just like my stance now, and if i can get the same, or a bit lower, thats what i want.
