soften suspension
 
I love my 2009 Fit as it is, but my wife and children complain about the harsh ride.. :(
There's lots of info on lowering and stiffening the suspension with aftermarket coilover systems etc, but nothing I can find on making the ride more cushy. Would one of the adjustable coilovers allow for softening the ride ?

A lot of the harshness may be due to the actual size of the vehicle. Maybe a strut or two has blown that may contribute.

a mild lowering spring MAY make the car more comfortable. Coilovers do have adjustable shocks but the springs are usually more aggressive than factory so it's a tough call. You could start with a bigger profile tire, go from the 185/55/16 I think it is to 205/55/16 and see how u like it
