TEIN S.TECH Kit for Honda Fit GE8

This specific TEIN S.TECH lowering-spring kit is engineered specifically for the GE8-generation Honda Fit. The GE8 chassis code refers to the second generation of the popular hatchback, produced from 2008 to 2013. It is crucial to match the spring kit exactly to this chassis for proper installation.

The kit provides a moderate drop that typically lowers the front of the Honda Fit by approximately 1.8 inches and the rear by about 1.4 inches. This significantly lowers the vehicle's center of gravity to noticeably improve cornering response. It also helps eliminate the unsightly wheel gap found on the stock vehicle.

Despite being lowering springs, the S.TECH line is designed to maintain a surprisingly comfortable ride that is compliant enough for daily driving. TEIN tunes these springs to be only slightly stiffer than the factory suspension. The result is improved stability without the harsh, jarring ride associated with pure racing coilovers.

While the S.TECH springs are explicitly designed to work safely with the factory OEM shocks, they will eventually wear them out faster due to the shorter spring length. Upgrading to performance aftermarket shocks, like the TEIN EnduraPro line, is highly recommended for long-term durability. This pairing prevents the OEM shocks from bottoming out.
