Conservative suspension mods

It won't be tail happy. It will be VERY planted.
In my car when it had Swift springs, progress rear bar, HTS shocks on full stiff, and 3 degrees of camber up front you had to lift off throttle super late, brake hard, release and then make a severe steering input to get the rear to step out AT ALL!!!
I'm now on mono tube rear shocks on full stiff, doubled the rear spring rate and went toe out to actually get the kind of lift off throttle rotation I need for AutoX

^^^This
your car will not be anymore tail happy with Swifts and rsb.I run this set up and the only way to get the tail to come around is if I purposely unload the suspension in a turn by lifting off of the brakes.
I never have to do this because I set my entry speed and get on the throttle early and power through/out of the turns.
I know lol a Fit powering out of anything

Sometimes when I get stuck using 3rd to power out I just want to kick the clutch a few times and have to remind myself it's my DD
Swift springs + anything will never be "too much" for anybody. Perfect for DD.

you are a very helpful group of people, thanks a lot!
By the way, I took my 100% stock Fit to an auto-cross event, because my Boss 302 was still in its break-in period, and I want to tell you that I had a blast!
After a few turns in my first run, I immediately realized that the tires and the brakes suck! The Fit was doing everything surprisingly good apart from stopping properly lol.
So I will definitely upgrade the brake pads/system ( after tires of course)
I was surprised to see that in Tire Rack website, they don't list Hawk HPS or HP+ for 2013 Fit!!
Is there anyway we can get those fit in our newer Fit?

The Fit is an EXCELLENT AutoX car, trust me
Also, your 2013 Fit is mechanically identical to the other GE model years, so any 2009+ marketed parts that aren't bumpers and lips should fit.
That being said, I also have not been able to find a part number for a 2009+ GE... In fact.... not 100% sure but I think the brakes are actually the same from th GD-GE... Need to do some research!
