It was the last Fit sold in the United States, and it's the best one we got: more power than the first two generations and, crucially, an available 6-speed manual. That combination turned a practical little hatchback into one of the best-kept secrets in cheap motorsport. These things are light, tossable, and dirt cheap to run, which is exactly why you see them showing up at track days and autocrosses punching way above their price. What holds a GK5 back out of the box is the soft, tall factory suspension. These BC Racing BR coilovers are the first real step in turning one into a genuine track weapon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eBuilt For The GK5\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit is made for the 2015-2020 third-gen Fit on the GK5 chassis. It bolts in and hands you full control over ride height and damping, whether you're building a dedicated track car, sharpening up a daily, or somewhere in between. One kit, dialed for this exact chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat It Does For A Fit\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStock, the Fit rides tall and soft because it's built to be a comfortable commuter, and that softness is what makes it lean and flop around the moment you push it on a good road or a track. The BR Series takes that away. You get 30 clicks of damping, so you can run it comfortable for the drive to work and stiffen it right up for a session at the track without touching a spring. The springs come set at 4.5kgf\/mm up front and 2.5kgf\/mm out back, rates that suit this light little car and flatten the body without beating you up. Ride height adjusts at the base of the coilover, so you lower it, kill the body roll, and keep full shock travel underneath you. The car goes from bouncy hatchback to planted and eager, which is exactly what you want when you're chasing lap times on a budget.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout The Top Mounts\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit uses RN type mounts, so here's the straight talk. There's no front top mount in this kit. You reuse your factory bushings up front, and the rear runs a rubber or reuse-OEM mount. It's a clean, quiet setup that bolts in without drama and keeps the noise out of the cabin, which suits a car you're still driving on the street. Just know front camber stays set by your stock hardware, so if you're chasing an aggressive alignment for track work later, plan on adding camber hardware down the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eBuild It Into A Track Car\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere's where the GK5 really shines. This car responds so well to simple, affordable mods that you can build a legitimate track toy without spending big. Coilovers are step one, they get the car planted and let you set corner-friendly ride height. Step two on a front-wheel-drive Fit is almost always a rear sway bar, because it dials out the factory understeer and wakes up the car's rotation so it turns in instead of pushing. Pair these coilovers with a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hybrid-racing.com\/products\/progress-technology-19mm-rear-sway-bar-for-honda-fit-15-20?_pos=11\u0026amp;_sid=f29af1936\u0026amp;_ss=r\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eProgress rear sway bar\u003c\/a\u003e and you've addressed the two biggest handling limitations on the car in one shot. From there, a good set of tires is honestly most of what stands between you and a reliable, fun, cost-effective track car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDo The Job Right\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSet the height even across all four corners, and get a proper alignment when you're done, especially if this car's going to see track time, since a Fit set up right rewards you with sharp, predictable handling. Don't slam it lower than your goals actually call for, because on a track-focused build, sensible ride height and a real alignment matter far more than how low it sits. Take the time to dial it in and the car pays you back every session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBC Racing has been building coilovers since the early 2000s, and the BR Series is the kit that made their name. It's affordable, it's proven on everything from daily drivers to dedicated track cars, and that value story fits the GK5 perfectly, because the whole appeal of this car is doing a lot with a little.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWho This Is For\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is for the owner who sees the GK5 for what it is: one of the best cheap platforms out there for someone who wants to actually drive their car hard. Whether you're daily-driving a manual Fit and want it to feel tight and planted, or you're building toward track days and autocross on a budget, these coilovers are the foundation. Bolt them on, add a rear sway bar, throw on some sticky tires, and go show up the cars that cost three times as much.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2015-2020 Honda Fit, third gen (GK5). \u003cstrong\u003eSpring rates:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.5kgf\/mm front, 2.5kgf\/mm rear. \u003cstrong\u003eTop mounts:\u003c\/strong\u003e RN type (front reuses OEM bushings, rubber or reuse-OEM rear). \u003cstrong\u003eDamping:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30-way adjustable. \u003cstrong\u003eVariant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard only, no extreme low offered for this application. \u003cstrong\u003ePair with:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"#\"\u003eProgress rear sway bar\u003c\/a\u003e for the classic GK5 handling setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"VehicleFitment\"\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e2015-2020 Honda Fit\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"BC Racing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46109669064738,"sku":"BCR-A-85-BR","price":1195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2218\/5701\/files\/BCR-A-85-BR_45wk.jpg?v=1785177328","url":"https:\/\/www.hybrid-racing.com\/products\/bc-racing-br-series-coilovers-15-20-honda-fit-gk5","provider":"Hybrid Racing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
