hey i know the fit and the crz have similar if not the same subframe. was wondering what the best option for me to lift my car.
i have a 2011 crz.
all the crz guys are just lowering their but i wanna make mines as off-road as possible just to be cool.
any suggestions?

 

hello there is guy that stays in Norwalk Cali and his kit is lifted and if you look it up on YouTube just type lifted fit is the fist thing that comes up his fit is blue he he will show you sort by step how to lift it

 

I can say as the owner of both a GD3 Fit and ZF3 CR-Z that your statement is indeed true. haha

I'm currently doing a bit of digging around and have a plausible theory that I've yet to prove that is similar to your goal of lifting your CR-Z. That theory rests on the fact that GE8 and GK5 Fit suspension physically pretty much interchanges (be it slight dampening/spring rate variances). Add to that, the HR-V's chassis appears to be a revised GK chassis... This makes me wonder if the RU5/RU6 HR-V suspension would work on the L series cars as well as how much of a lift if there is any.

Now on to your question...

If my rough memory serves me right the GE8 Fit, ZE2 Insight, and ZF1 CR-Zs all share the same from subframes. There is for sure differences with the suspension length and dampening that correlates with those chassis. I do not honestly know the differences in damper or spring lengths to know how much of a height gain or loss is acquired with **insert suspension combo** between the trio of L series cars. I've been looking on the CR-Z forum off and on and haven't for sure verified it yet BUT I think the GE8 might give you a slight lift but it may be something subtle if you're looking for an off the shelf option.

After market wise... You can get a polyurethane spacer lift spacer lift kit (link below) or coilovers with longer springs like the coilover conversion sleeves that Ground Control does as a thought.
