    sorry missed the question about handling

    i list below all my recent cars past owned with the suspension used in ranked order in my opinion from best to worst

    1. ek4- koni adjustable coilovers
    2. eg6- front lowering springs
    3. fit- tein adjustable coilovers
    4. ek4- standard
    5. dc2- standard

    hands down the civic has best handling out of these honda cars, the eg more so than the ek if a good suspension setup

    sure i havent slammed the fit yet but i doubt it would handle better than the other hondas listed

    i have seen video of fit on track and once the driver cliped the kerb and momentarily lifted it up on the 2 side wheels 2 reason i think this happen because 1.lightweight 2.center of gravity high

    without going into great detail you will know all great handling cars are low, toyota mrs, nsx, ferrari etc

    park a fit next to these cars it will look like milk truck

    also i think the eps is totally screwed and there is a discussion about this on another thread and i this is also important to consider for handling

    despite these negative remarks i still my fit but i fully realise the limitations of the car and dont expect it to be a f1 fighter jet

    yes have to slam to compensate for the height of the car, jazz is high and skinny, civic is wide and low, civic the perfect handling beast
