Buddy Club N+ Spec Dampers

I've recently been looking quite intensively into different suspension setups for the 2007-2008 Honda Fit and came across the Buddy Club N+ Spec Dampers. I was originally going to go with the Tein Basics as they offer very soft spring rates which will keep the overall ride quality of the vehicle similar to stock, but enable you to adjust the ride height. However, I did not like the fact that the lower end Tein setups are powder coated instead of anodized. Being that this is a daily driver, and the suspension will most likely see winter months, I am more inclined to now go with the Buddy Club N+ Spec Dampers as they're least likely to rust due to having an anodized shock.

Unfortunately even after a lengthly search of a number of different combinations, I wasn't able to find anyone on this forum whom happens to have first hand experience with these. So does anyone happen to have these currently installed, and can offer thoughts and opinions, or are these unfortunately for the JDM Honda Fits? Thank You.

correct me if im wrong, but i dont think they fit on the US fits. i wanted to get this set too when i was in the shopping for coilovers. i even tried contacting Buddy Club US to see if they do make an application for the fit. but they never got back to me (cause its not listed on their application list on their website).

Guess my question has been answered, unless of course there is a way to modify the suspension in order to work with USDM Honda Fits?

pff. at least the replied to you (bastards) anyway. if its like all the other JDM coilovers there is a way you can install them on the US fit with a lil modification. a couple years back, RacerDre (sold his fit btw) test fitted the Cusco coilovers (which are JDM coilovers). from wut i remember he mentioned that the US fits uses 19mm bolts (the two bolts that bolt onto the knuckle to the coilover assy) but the JDM fits uses 17mm bolts. i forget wut he did to resolve it. it was so long ago. but yea. other than that he didnt have any problems with it. if im not mistaken. i believe RCantu has the Cusco coilovers now (he swapped with RacerDre for T1Rs i think) he might be able to help you out. if he still comes on here that is. i hope that helps a lil.

I'm with you guys, I want to hear if anyone has these.
Seeing as how the Fit market has been seeing new products every month you would think BuddyClub would get in our game.

This is good to hear i was wondering the same thing but i guess those emails posted above answer my questions, I had Buddy Club N+'s on my Rsx and i had zero complaints, i guess i 1)need to pick up my fit and 2) wait it out and see what BC comes out with.
