I hve just had an interesting chat with the guys from Honda's technical R&D center in Auttaya, Thailand.

They said that Honda make the Rear of the new Fit/Jazz 25mm higher than the front to allow for the physics of better handling, not just for carring loads.

They new about Tanabe's soft springs and how on some cars these springs lower the rear a little more than the front. When lowering a slightly stiffer spring is needed. Like 2.5k on the front.

Using these springs they recommended lifting the rear an extra 5mm or 10mm with a spacer on fitting. This will improve handling and reduce body roll a lot. A full tank of petrol lowers the rear 5mm alone without passengers.

The engine is also heavier than the old model and that's why they recommend 33psi in the front tires.
