showa, kyb, spoon (showa), honda access/modulo, at the very least offer aftermarket struts for foreign market fits.

AJ racing can get the spoon ones, not sure about the rest.

The holes on the struts for bolting them to the spindle are smaller on the foreign market fits, so they will have to be enlarged to work on the usdm fits. I think you also have to make sure that the struts are for the 1.5s, otherwise you may need different swaybar endlinks.

rattling?

these springs are great. They've been on my Fit for about a month, and I've had no problems at all. Installed them at the same time I put on my 15" heliums, and everything is fine. I haven't noticed any increase in rattling though.

Ya they are a bit stiffer so you get less bounce.

Guys,

I've ordered a set of these springs. After reading through this thread i have one question:

what's the final conclusion about the installation and the closer coils?

Do the closer coils get positioned for the top or the bottom ?

Interesting for the Eibachs the instructions ended up looking with the packed coils up top.
