Parts List for the ultimate handling FIT?
Hello,
I just got my 2010 Honda Fit Sport about 1500 miles ago and I want to improve the handling as much as possible. Im not concerned about looks, just performance in the corners.
For all you experts what parts would you get if money was no object and the car will be used as a daily driver. I am ready to start this project but I want to make sure I get the right parts.
Thanks for your help.

Check out Swift Mach springs since it is a daily driver and not a competition car. Also think about lighter wheels and tires.... Together these things will have the effect you would get with expensive after market dampers plus the many other benefits from less rotating mass and unsprung weight.

Brakes
Bucket seat (You corner better when your body is planted and not holding on for dear life. You also get a better field of vision due to the lower seating position. This is coming from an experienced HPDE driver.)
Camber settings
Chassis braces
Coilovers
Harness (For the bucket seat)
LSD
Roll center adjusters
Sway bars
Tires
All that I can think of off the top of my head. Also, seat time is very important. All these modifications are useless unless you know how to drive your car. Practice makes perfect.
