Sportline drops a significant amount. I'm guessing you meant the Pro-Kit?

its alright. i forgot they have a race and another version.

its kinda like the eibach. but i would rather rock the eibach pro kit then H&R.


if you want a soft ride with a mild drop then go with the sprint springs.
basically i think it will feel likes stock, thats what i heard at least.


you can never go wrong with eibach.

mugen?


uh i do not know about their springs, i have not heard of anyone running them.

to be honest, you will be set with either the prokit or the sprint springs.


all the other ones are generally stiffer.

s.techs,skunk2,t1r,sportlines,h&r. they are all pretty stiff.

i can tell you mine are. but i love the stiffness. and i love my drop.

is there such thing as h-techs for the Fit? if so, check it out. those are
usually very mild drop vs their s-techs. (TEIN USA)

i was jk bout the stechs... isn't that the biggest drop?? like 2 inches in the front? hahahah



but mugen does make their adjustable suspension which i've heard good things about... itll cost you around 1500, though. dunno how big or small the drop is, though.

I have the Mugen 5 way adjustable and the drop you are looking at for that kit is less than 0.5 inch from the way it looks to me. Dope suspension for a well tuned track and street car, while avoiding the hassles of having to go across speed bumps and dips diagonally.

BTW with the wheel size and offset you have, you will rub regardless of what spring you use. Currently I have 16x7 42 offset and rub slightly under hard cornering with 205/50/16. My recommendation to help with the rubbing you will encounter is to 1. Get a very mild drop if dropping at all 2. Run a stretched tire or another tire with a rounded sidewall. 3. Get a wheel with the right offset for your car.
