I kind of wish there was more Fit's (GE8) on the road maybe we would see more aftermarket parts or options such as struts and shocks to buy for our cars not be limited.

For suspension, I am saving up for a Bilstien PSS kit. That and a progress rear sway bar should be enough.

I bought the Fit because I needed a commuter that was funish to drive and could hold my drum kit and/or PA equiptment. If they were still making a new 97 civic hatch that is what I would have bought, but there are no new ones.

I don't need more bits to fiddle with on my car. I get tweekitus bad enough as it is. :P and it's not a track car so I figure it should be good enough.

I am thinking I probably should of started out with coilovers if I could adjust for height and ride comfort I could of lower it a just a bit more to reduce some of the body roll.

This is why I turned my plain vanilla Fit into a "I've never seen one of those!" Jazz with a $5 name plate ordered off eBay from HK (free postage even).

I'm a real Mustang fanatic but I've also owned several Honda's over the years.

It was a natural choice for me to get a Fit and they are everywhere here in Socal.Gas hit 6 bucks a gallon at some stations the other day so I got my Fit just in time lol

I really love driving this little car and with the suspension mods it's even more fun.

I mod everything I own so the Fit is lowered on Swifts with Progress rsb

yah, swifts on the GE is a requirement imho especially on the '12 cause the spring rates are so much softer than the previous years.
