RS-R Sports-i Electronically Controlled Coilovers – 2009–2013 Honda Fit (GE6/GE8) | Full Kit

The RS-R Sports-i Coilovers for the 2009–2013 Honda Fit (GE6/GE8) are RS-R's electronically controlled coilover system — a full-featured coilover kit that combines ride height adjustability with RS-R's Sports-i electronic damper control, allowing the damper characteristics to be adjusted via a controller without physically accessing the damper adjustment mechanism. RS-R is one of Japan's most respected suspension brands — known for their springs, coilovers, and suspension accessories for a wide range of Japanese performance platforms — and the Sports-i system represents their premium coilover offering for platforms where electronic damper control is desired alongside the ride height adjustability of a conventional coilover. A complete 4-corner coilover kit for GE6/GE8 Fit owners who want the best available coilover solution for their platform.

Key Features:

• RS-R Sports-i electronic damper control — electronically adjustable damping via RS-R's Sports-i controller — adjust damper characteristics without physically accessing the damper adjustment mechanism — convenient for drivers who want to change settings between street and spirited driving without getting under the car
• Ride height adjustability — adjustable ride height via threaded spring perch — set the GE6/GE8 Fit's ride height to match your specific application and aesthetic requirements
• Complete 4-corner kit — full front and rear coilover assemblies replacing the factory suspension at all four corners — everything required for a complete suspension upgrade in a single purchase
• GE6/GE8 specific — engineered for the 2009–2013 Honda Fit GE6/GE8 chassis — correct geometry, spring rates, and damper valving for the GE platform's suspension architecture
• RS-R quality — manufactured by RS-R, one of Japan's most respected suspension brands with extensive Honda platform development experience
• Street and performance capable — the Sports-i's electronic adjustment range covers both comfortable street settings and more performance-oriented settings in a single coilover system

RS-R Sports-i Electronic Damper Control — How It Works:

The RS-R Sports-i system uses electronically controlled dampers that adjust their compression and rebound characteristics in response to signals from the Sports-i controller — a driver-operated control unit that allows damper settings to be changed from inside the vehicle without physically reaching the damper adjustment knob. This is a meaningful convenience advantage over conventional manually-adjusted coilovers — particularly for drivers who want to soften the dampers for a long highway drive and firm them up for a mountain road or track session without stopping to adjust each corner individually. The electronic control also allows more precise and repeatable damper settings than manual adjustment — the same setting can be recalled consistently every time.

Why Coilovers on the GE6/GE8 Fit?

• Factory Suspension Limitation: The GE6/GE8 Honda Fit's factory suspension is engineered for a broad range of drivers and road conditions — a soft, compliant setup that prioritizes ride comfort and practicality over handling precision. The factory ride height is conservative, the spring rates are soft, and the dampers are tuned for compliance rather than control. For Fit owners who want to explore the GE platform's genuine handling potential — a lightweight, front-wheel-drive chassis with excellent weight distribution for its class — the factory suspension is a significant limiting factor.
• Coilover Advantage: The RS-R Sports-i coilovers replace the factory spring and damper assembly with a purpose-built coilover unit that provides correct spring rates, correct damper valving, and adjustable ride height — allowing the GE6/GE8's suspension to be tuned to the driver's specific application. The lower ride height reduces the centre of gravity, the higher spring rates reduce body roll, and the Sports-i electronic damper control allows the suspension's response to be optimized for the driving conditions.
• GE Platform Potential: The Honda Fit GE is a genuinely capable platform — lightweight, well-balanced for its class, and responsive to suspension upgrades. A quality coilover system like the RS-R Sports-i unlocks the GE's handling potential in a way that the factory suspension cannot — transforming the Fit from a practical city car into a genuinely engaging driver's car.

Fitment Information:

• 2009–2013 Honda Fit — GE6 / GE8 chassis (second generation)
• Verify fitment for your specific GE Fit model year and variant before ordering — confirm that RSRXBICKH270M is the correct part number for your specific GE6 or GE8 configuration
• Note: A four-wheel alignment is required after coilover installation. Professional installation by an experienced suspension specialist strongly recommended. Verify Sports-i controller wiring requirements for your specific GE Fit before installation.

What's Included:

• RS-R Sports-i front coilover assemblies (pair)
• RS-R Sports-i rear coilover assemblies (pair)
• RS-R Sports-i electronic damper controller
• All required mounting hardware and wiring
• Refer to RS-R's product documentation for complete kit contents and spring rate specifications

Installation Notes:

• Professional installation by an experienced suspension specialist strongly recommended — coilover installation requires correct torque specifications, correct spring perch height setting, correct Sports-i controller wiring, and a four-wheel alignment after installation
• A four-wheel alignment is required after coilover installation — do not drive the vehicle at speed before a full alignment is performed
• Route and connect the Sports-i controller wiring according to RS-R's wiring diagram — incorrect wiring will prevent the electronic damper control from functioning correctly
• Set ride height with the vehicle at kerb weight (fuel, fluids, and driver weight) for accurate ride height measurement
• Set damper adjustment to RS-R's recommended baseline setting before the first drive — adjust from the baseline after evaluating the suspension's behaviour on your specific roads
• Inspect all suspension components (control arms, bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends) before installation — worn components should be replaced alongside the coilovers
