Honda Fit/Jazz (GE8) Suspension Recipe

While the Honda Fit/Jazz doesn’t have the adjustability of earlier double wishbone/multi-link Civics, some small tweaks to parts and geometry can result in large dynamic improvements. Here is Honed’s receipe for suspension success on the GE8-generation.

GEOMETRY

Ride height: 290-275mm (hub to apex of guard)
OE front lower ball joint
Honed strut top to increase caster and camber – LINK
Camber bolts for maximum knuckle adjustment

SPRINGS & DAMPERS

Front springs: 6kg/mm (results in ~2Hz suspension frequency)
Rear springs: 6kg/mm (results in 2.2Hz suspension frequency)
Dampers to suit spring rates

ANTI-ROLL BARS

Stock front bar
Aftermarket rear bar 16mm diameter or similar

WHEEL ALIGNMENT

Front camber: -3.5-4.5°
Front caster: +2-2.5°
Front toe: 0°
Rear camber: Not adjustable
Rear toe: +2 (in)-0°

This is applicable to second-generation Honda Fit/Jazz models. Where a range is given it is listed from conservative to aggressive and should be selected based on tyre and driver preference.
