my car is way too bouncy
Installed Coilovers on my del sol and those are stiff and hard, but works on that car.
I want to remove the bouncing effect of the Fit, lower it a bit, but still maintain that family comfort ride.
Sounds like you found the solution.
Do you have the part numbers for Koni orange you used?
Did the Swift Springs you used lower the car? Not looking to slam it to the ground but lower without any rubbing and keeping that family comfort ride would be great.
If so, what is the part number of the Swift Springs did you use?
So many things are going on with the project over the last couple of months. It has been wrapped, new mugens, new exhaust, bushings, collars, all the goodies. So many more things on the way too! Going to wash her tomorrow and maybe take some pictures

Did you do the bushings and collars yourself? how do they feel mate?Was it worth the upgrade.At the minute I am waiting for my Ultimate 9 throttle controller and I still have to install my EM1 civic clutch "delay valve delete" master cylinder.

HKS Silent Hi power? Picked one up for mine as well. Been on for about a month and a half so far. Definitely livens up the exhaust without being too loud.
Also flushed my brake and clutch hydraulics yesterday since I don't think those were ever done by the previous owner. And as a Honda technician, most people with manual cars just never have it flushed when it should be done the same time as on the brakes. I'm one of only a handful of people who really pushes for this to be done.
One of the upsides of working for a Honda dealership. All the special tools are right there.
Also didn't show it, but I had a bunch of black lug nuts as spares from putting wheel locks on new Accords and Civics, so I threw a full set on here. It's a small change, but I think it really completes the look. I love the black accents so much more than chrome ones. It especially compliments the yellow.
Beyond that, I have a set of factory fog lights I want to retrofit, but I'd need to either make a provision for powering them or swap a fuse box off a higher trim model since the LX doesn't even have the fuse for it. Anyone else retrofit an LX with fogs? I'd like to avoid tampering with the factory wiring if at all possible.

Don't get to post much here since my mother in law bought my Fit, but she's using a lot of drive up grocery pickup lately and the employees managed to crack the rear garnish piece into three pieces. After finding $200 for the replacement part, I used fiberglass tape and epoxy to repair the broken one, and then I built up a tab out of some stacked 1/16" ABS sheet and 3M mounting tape to try and keep people from grabbing it again.
Not the best fiberglass job, didn't realize how much of the resin drained out of the top until it was too late, but it seems to be strong enough and if it saves the cost of a new part, I can live with it.
3d printed a test spacer to use a 61mm 2005 CR-V throttle on my RZCrew IM....(the IM center bore was made to 61mm but the bolt pattern is for the OEM TB so the CR-V one doesn't FITs without the spacer) The aluminum one might get done this weekend...

That's a shame. I use that parking lot food delivery service occasionally. Didn't the store pay for the part?
Thankfully had a good reason to ditch the factory Firestones with 24K miles on the odometer, bubbles on side wall of 2 tires.
Went with Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 with a change in size to 205/50/R16.
Happy with the improvement in ride & handling as well as appearance.
This should help make the cross country drive a bit more confidence inspiring as those Firestones were horrible.
