how much drop can you expect from the mugen struts/springs?

 

15mm~20mm on a JDM Fit.... on a USDM Fit I would say about 20mm~25mm overall

If you need more info try this link....

damn that is not a lot for 1k suspension, any pics of the fit with this setup?

 

Yay! First post... Do these bolt onto a North American Fit with no problems?

Thanks

 

If it's a clear day tomorrow, I'll try and get some...but i think it'll rain...

If you buy them from King, they come pre-modified so they will bolt directly to your car.

 

i actually saw them on the mugen fit, looks pretty nice. how is the ride quality if you have them?

 

why would it drop the usdm fit more? does the jdm fit have lower springs from the factory than we do?

 

US FIt is a bit heavier than the JDM one by about 200lbs or so..

 

i think there are more than a few of us who would love to get pix and a review of this suspension from king. the tsx's setup seemed just about right for a daily driver and i get the feeling this will remain true with the fit.

after having my sti on very, very, insanely stiff, no-droop coilovers, i know i want something to firm up the car but not drop it to the ground and necessitate angling into every last driveway.

so king, can you guys throw the mugen sport suspension on a fit and play around with it...on camera perhaps? if you're worried about losing value on the kit, sell it to me afterwards for a minimal discount yeesh, i don't even have the car yet and i'm trying to connive my way into mods

in all seriousness, this seems like the most elusive suspension setup to get pix and real information about.

the simple things i'd like to know:
-how's the harshness afterwards compare to stock? firmer need not always be harsher, and i'm sure you guys know what i mean
-after it settles, what kind of drop am i realistically looking at?
-how much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could slang weed?
-wanna buy my sti? (hehe)

if you guys get around to addressing even a little bit of that, then thanks a lot

 

I would like to know the front and rear spring rates on this kit.

 

unfortunately it seems as if king motorsports has completely forgotten about this forum

 

apparently!

 

I spoke with Scott over at King and he said they are getting their divison setup to take care of all the forums they were on before. They did move and have done a lot so Im sure its been busy.

One thing I would like to point out. It is about a 1in drop, but the drop isn't the end all to suspension. I have to say after having the Mugen suspension on my car that it is one if not the best riding car I have been in. I know with this 1in drop my sport fit is sitting IMO very close to the ground. Added with the Professional bodykit I am sure it will be plenty low for daily driving. I am not one to need the car scrapping the ground to think it's cool.

There are pictures of my car on my website and on this forum for those wondering. Again its not really about the drop, but how the ride is. It is a very nice smooth ride and that normal squat the fit has between shifting and giving gas just isn't there anymore. Very nice smooth comfortable ride and Im not scared to drive over speed bumps or anything.

Not to mention if you don't like the spring rate there are plenty of companies you can get lower springs for.

 

good to know! hocker you have the 5 way though right? i know the shocks on the SS are different, but thats mostly what i'm after...and since the shocks themselves seem to be pretty expensive, i'd rather just get the whole kit instead of investing in the shocks and then gettin diffrent springs.

if the i deem the drop not low enough, tanabe should fix that...but like you said, its the ride and handling that REALLY matter.

 

Yes I have the 5ways. I love this setup better than my ground control/koni yellow setup I had on my crx for years.

 

for the 5 way adjustable set up... if you had lowering springs do you have remove them ?
