I think another useful category would be progressive/linear. I personally prefer a linear spring rate, but I'm not sure I saw any for the Fit (Eibach SportLine?). Koni's race series are linear, but not available for this application.
I know many people who lower their cars always ask to see pics of what the car looks like lowered, but ride quality is a more important factor for the daily driver.

In my opinion, I think linear springs are better if you're going to be driving on poor quality roads. They will give a less bouncy ride and less body roll in general. I think many manufacturers use linear springs.

On the other hand, progressive springs are great if the roads are very flat and near perfect. These springs are soft at the top and get harder. Result = bounce bounce then they feel hard = poor ride quality.

The problem is, no one makes linear springs for the Fit GE.

I just came across this new Bilstein suspension setup for the GE.
