he asked for an opinion, and IMO I would do a drop over a rear sway in his situation. Rear sway bars always help on FWD hondas, but if you aren't even gonna drop it may as well spend your $ on gas instead

BTW, i have driven all through every province of Canada and Alaska, and did it all in a 74 datsun, with 370k miles on it, no problems

Hmm...yes, I did ask for opinions. I've read many opinons about the Progress RSB's and all seem to be positive so far. The problem I have here in the great white north is the roads get chewed up by the salt that's dropped along with the winter plowing. Makes for a rough ride. I'm just looking for a bit of better performance in the handleing area without sacrificing ride quality and being too low.

I could be convinced springs are a good choice if: springs could be bought that would give me a minimal drop for a nice look, and reduce the roll of the car. Secondly, provide a ride quality close to stock.

I have a friend with the H series teins and they provide a nice ride but didn't reduce the body roll and sagged in the back after a few months.

Does someone make a spring for the 08 fit that provides a minimal drop and still provides a comfortable ride? I did see that Tanabe offers a spring for the 09 models but is there anything for the 08's that would be comparable?
