yah, you'll have plenty of ground clearance even out of the box on the
endura-techs. ive been going through these road construction areas
around my area with those nice moron 3-4" arsefalt drops and bumps
in comfort, without scraping. so, you can imagine how smooth they
ride on normal roads. bascially, if a stock car in front of you dont
need to slow down to go over a dip or bump, neither do you.

Question electronic suspension?

does anyone know of any electronic suspension for the fit? I want to be able to adjust it on the inside, but Tein only offers the Basic Dampers... I don't really know of any other companies that have Electronically Adjustable Suspension... especially for the fit... Any help?

I wish Tien made fully adjustable coilovers, I would have bought them in a heartbeat. I am currently looking at HKS coilovers.

hks... i dunno... Don't get me wrong, HKS is a good name, but i don't know anyone that's tried their coilovers... On any car... ... i really wish Tein would step up and put out some c/o for our fits other than those basics...

Well Im just looking at them. But there is a member on here that has them on their Fit. Other than that most people have Skunk2's. Trying to decided what I want, better do it right the first time.

yeah i hear ya ... i wish i could have electronic suspension.... as far as im concerned, thats doing it right the first time... but no one offers it yet... Do you know if the Spoon Sports Fit customized electronic suspension on theirs??? I'm sure it can be done... but i guess anything can be done if you got a blank check

yeah, second hand though. I doubt u can buy a new set (from a store, not private owner) for that shipped.


I have Ksports and I actually love em a lot. And its not so stiff like everyone thinks. A few members here have driven my car and have been impressed. I dont have my car as low as it can though cuz off 35mm offset :[

yeah teins EDFC controller but only a cerrtain model of their coilovers fit them, i think the super streets, if they are even available for the fit. Tanabe also makes them however i know that tanabe has no coilovers for the fit.

yeah, the avail. tein c/o for the fit are the basic damper system.... it would be pretty sweet if somebody made some electronic suspension for us. I almost bought a used RSX-S with a suspension controller, it was so sweet i was adjusting it the whole ride and u could feel the difference- it was pretty dope.

they have like a million ajdustments, which imo is overkill. they look cool tho.

as far as the hks' go, i think only thier hypermax fits the fit, and it is said to be uber stiff.

before you go stiff on the spring and dampers, it's best to get a softer setup and
run stiffer (higer load) tires with more psi.

at least that way you can make your ride a tad more adjustable. if you have a
stiff sus, you can't soften it up without making your car feel jumpy due to the
high spring rate + soft damp setting. it will feel like the crap TypeHA's i had on
my WRX years ago.
