- In this episode my daily driver 2007 Honda Fit gets a proper suspension upgrade with the help of S3 Suspension coilovers paired with Honed Developments caster/camber top hats. I cover the removal of the old suspension as well as the install and proper setup of the bump stop heights and some tips and tricks to make installation of new coilovers a little simpler. Thank you once again to S3 Suspension for sponsoring me for this video and for providing some awesome parts that I can't wait to try out on track very soon. These new coilovers make the car drive awesome and should address a lot of the shortcomings I've experienced in the car previously.
Thank you to Andy for making the thumbnail as well as the background for the intro. Follow him here:

Have S3 Streets on my 00 Civic Coupe, absolutely love them. Worked amazing paired with some Azenis 615K when I took it to Streets of Willow.
Gran Turismo bgm 👌
Bought a set of S3 coils for my ge8 fit during their black friday sale. I also have a progress rear sway bar waiting to go on when the coilovers arrive. I got the street/track set up (8kg front / 6kg rear)
Awesome video ❤
Very good details and helpful information!
Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment!
“Nah it’s gonna be a daily. And maybe some auto x” 😂
The cycle continues
very god instalation bro
Tom the real MVP
For the fronts, were you able to use the two stock bottom bolts? My car came with Godspeed and they drilled out to make the oe bottom bolts to work.
Yes I had no issues. I had godspeed on the car previously and the stock bolts worked there as well
That thing is going to corner like a cat on carpet

I’m kinda confused as to the set up of the suspension.
Shouldn’t the springs be preloaded and not loose? My understanding is that if the springs aren’t pre loaded, then the dampers would essentially be under more load and thus bottoming out faster. Also if and when the the travel of the damper does happen then the damper will take a greater hit due to loose spring collar.
The dampers shouldn’t bottom out especially with high spring rates.
That is a great technical question and I can't personally give you a greatly worded answer but here's a link to a post from honed developments in 2021 that should do a good job explaining.

Awesome thank you!
Wow.. I’ve been setting up my suspension wrong all these years. Thank you
OK, quick update. I just received these and as I was installing the front, I noticed that the bump stop is a lot smaller and did not get to reach at full compression. I’m not sure how you were able to tell on your set up with the dust boot on. I did it without it so I can see the stop actually hitting first what ended up really happening was my actual suspension components had maxed out before stop made contact. That is also a probability as to your set up as well. I realize that this suspension could not be set up this way due to the travel and suspension geometry. Also, I realize now that I don’t think this type of suspension set up is meant for a linear spring rate only progressive. I say this because the linear spring rate will always be the same rate regardless causing the shock to do its job regardless of travel. If you really wanted to have this kind of setup you would essentially buy a coil over set up with the correct spring size (helper springs defeat the purpose). Note* sway bars weren’t connected.
