Suspension Upgrade help needed

NjBlazin07 · #1 (**permalink**) 07-30-2007, 09:17 PM

Was hoping that someone could tell me if there is any Suspension Upgrades,meaning springs in particular that are on the market that do not lower the car at all. Just looking to stiffen things up. Any info would be appreciated, thanks in advance....

Impossible. In my x amount of years in this business I have never seen any springs like this. Just purchase springs with the least drop + highest spring rates.

Coilovers is a whole another entity. You can purchase these and set the height to stock levels while improving your ride. You probally want to purchase coilovers instead of just springs.

Too bad H&R did not develop theirOE Sports and TienH-Techs for the Honda Fit/Jazz.

These are the firmer springs that don't drop much, but are geared for handling over stock while the look is stock. I guess there is not much of a market for this kind of product. They figured that most people want the look of lowered and the feel of firmness in this kind of vehicle category.

I figured that it was going to be a lost cause. I was thinking coilovers for the front of course but was not sure if you could adjust them to stock height or max height is lower already then stock. So anyway who makes springs and coilovers with the least amount of drop. Been trying to do a search on this for a few days now and not having much luck. Sure someone on here can point me in the right direction. Thanks. . .

progress has springs that give a very small drop

Most coil-overs even maxed out in height will be about 1" lower than stock because they usually use shorter shock bodies.

wouldn't mind it being lowered but have 18 x 7.5 rims on and really don't think it will work if it was lower. unless it is so much stiffer that it does not dip down over hard dips in road at all which I doubt. I want to get the Progress rear sway bar and springs have to come out to bolt it on and wanted to kill two birds with one stone and get some better springs in there but starting to think its not going to happen.
