Tokico Hp Is Out!!!
#101
The Tokico guy I talked to wouldn't commit to any specs on the non-adj shocks beyond they were "better" than OEM's. I would sure hope so, if we're replacing functional OEM stuff with new, for about the cost of new OEM parts.
The Tokico guy DID say that the D-Specs (16-point adjustables) would be out in the summer, and that's only 2-3 months away now. They're single-adjustable, but with what should be a pretty wide range of adjustment. That may or may not be the hot ticket for autoX or open track days, depending on what the Fit really NEEDS. That said, I really like how my single-adjustable shocks on my Valiant work, so...

I can't wait to see how they work for you. I might order them myself sometime.

No, because of the stereo action, I'm looking for something to aid with me support. For that, I'm going to try the Chevy Cavalier modeled Monroe Airshocks that have been talked about in another thread. They arrived today as well.

I'm thinking the same way. Will be hauling cast concrete pavers for a home project soon, and don't like the "drag ass" look with a load of passengers.. But for the fronts, I will wait for a while for the adjustable Tokico struts. If they wait too long to produce them, will probably buy the current version, unless somebody else comes up with adjustable struts. I'm looking forward to your review and will install my air shocks as soon as they arrive.

I won't make any buying decisions for front damping until I see their specs & prices.

Definitely, I wouldn't either! So far all I've been able to gather from Ben is that the company manufacturing the T1R shocks are a Japanese manufacturer and well known one in fact. However, they are made to their specs and not to the manufacturers specs. I know Ben has done his work on these dampers (which is why they are taking forever!) so when they are released, they will be some of the best around! I'll try and pry some of those specs out for everyone this weekend! But I can confirm that the T1R shocks will have adjustable dampening, and the front shocks will have camber adjustment!

If Tokico makes the D-Specs for the Fit, i HIGHLY recommend them. They allow adjustment of both rebound and compression simulatenously. I have them on our Mustang Saleen, and its a totally different car. Forget the sloshy feel and huge amounts of body roll that mustangs were known for, and it outperformed the factory Saleen suspension as well.
Other versions of D-specs on other cars report the same results.

Hi,
I am still waiting for my Fit to arrive at the dealership and I am looking at what parts I might want to add after a while. Does anyone know if these will hold up better to lowering springs than the stock units? I would hate to get something that I would need to replace not far down the line. Thanks.

Welcome Daniel,
Yes, they will work much better than the stock units because the stockers leave a lot to be desired. When you lower the car, the stockers get even worse. A year ago there was nothing available in the way of shocks and maybe a coilover setup or two was available. Now there is more and more product hitting the market.
Enjoy Fittin'.

If the S2SS struts were OEM dimensions, I'd be seriously considering them, but their shorter bodies wouldn't be legal in SCCA stock classes.
