As far as I could find the lowest springs set out there is the Eibach Sportline but I couldnt ever find any pics of them installed to really see how it looked. I chose the Ground Controls, more cash but adjustable, and if you want it really low, your going to compromise the ride at some point.

silver is an unknown quantity at this point
For me, I feel Tein's S-Tech or Kgmm's Low Down Spec are two of the lowest I have seen so far....

is there any springs out there that are stiffer than the tanabe df210s? i have the df210s but i need to get some stiffer springs. for my taste the df210s are too soft and i rub every time i hit a bump going fast on the fwy like 70. any suggestions on springs that give about the same drop but more stiff? suggestions and advice would be greatly appreciate thanks!

the tein s techs are lower in the front than the df210's. but the df210's are lower in the back. i wanna go with the eibach sportlines. i heard those are lower then both tein and tanabe.

the comparision with the tein and the tanabe was another fit and my fit right next to each other.

Teins are the lowest IMO. A friend of mine has them on his Fit with 17's and the car appears lower than yours redrumm.
My Fit sits almost identical to his on Teins but my rears are cut. However T1R's are known for giving a slammed look.

DAMN!!! Just looked up the Eibach Sports, 2in front and 1.8 rear.
I almost want to change to them. $189 from Tirerack.

T1R V1's. Almost wish I left my Fit stock. Its so nice. :-/




Some reason the car looked lower on the stockers than it does now.

maybe they are but i wouldnt go with a 2 in drop with a daily on springs for that matter just cause it will rub. it wont be stiff enough. im getting ready to sell these springs though

BLAH!!! Only thing I dont like about springs is once theyre in thats it. No adjustments. Rubbing doesnt bother me, yet.
I honestly enjoy my T1R springs, just want her a little lower. The springs are stiff and I like that. Im planning on getting coilovers sometime. I want to go lowered and want a stiffer ride. I want my back to hurt.

Dont know who this was directed to?
I wanted to get LS meshies to be different. Im a fan of OEM/hand me down rims. Dont know why but Im really good with paint work and can make ugly rims look good. (To me. Heheh)
Once I saw your Fit with the LS's I got pissed! I was happy it looked so good but pissed you got to it before me. And the fact you have an MR Fit, grrrrrrr rubbed it in.

Just sold my yellow TSW's. They will be gone this weekend. Some might call me crazy but I turned down a trade for GSR blades.
As much as I love GSR blades theyre too popular here in FL. I really wanted them for my Fit. Be the first in the Orlando area with them on a Fit. I can still buy some mint ones off my friend to cheap. As long as he keeps them in storage.
Id rather have money, I want my Enkeis on my Fit like now.

Just checked my gap. With my 14's on I have no finger gap in the front and half gap in the rear.
