T1R 2.0 Lowering Springs Vs. Eibach Progressive Springs
Hi guys, I just want some opinion on here. I am contemplating what are better lowering springs for my Fit. Pretty much, I just want to lower my car, slap most likely 16's and just daily driven. Which one would you guys prefer the T1R's 2.0 version or the Eibach Progressive Springs? Would I have any rubbing issues with either of these two setups? Thanks guys. Discuss, please.

Rubbing is the result of offset on the wheels. Since you are going to lower you need to stick to 45 to 50 mm offset. Stock is 55 mm but I don't know about inside clearance with 195 or 205 section tires on 6" rim.You can go as low as 42 if you don't lower. All this applies to a 7" wide rim and 205 section tires max 23.5" diameter. If you stick with 195 you can go 2mm less in most cases on offset.
Yeah, I know all of a sudden the 'pretty' wheels get out of spec.
