Have you or are you considering lowering your Fit? I want to get 17" wheels for my fit too and also wanted to lower it 3/4 to 1''. Does anyone out there think that would cause a problem? Please be kind to the rookie. Thanks

IF YOU LIVE WHERE it snows dont drop it, i had a slammed protege5 and it was terror in the winter. It was a 2" drop.

Meh, I've got a 240sx with about 1.75" drop + Apex i N1 duals exhaust ( 3" single to 2.5" dual, which hangs pretty low) and I've gotten around pretty good the last 4 years with it. You just have to be smart and know your car's limitations. If you try driving on 4" of unplowed snow you probably aren't going to get very far in anything short of a truck.

Hey thanks for the comment. I decided to change it up, and made the car a little differnt. I raised it up about 56 inches and throw on some 42"s laying around. Here is a picture
If you are concerned about lowering the Fit and having clearance issues, then get coilovers instead of just lwoering springs. Coilovers allow you to raise and lower the vehicle to your tastes and to fine tune the suspension. www.Ground-Control.com makes excellent coilovers and they use Eibach srpings which are the best in the world. I am sure they will develope a coilover for the new Fit.
