2008 Fit Sport DD Lowering Springs

What are the best lowering springs for my 2008 Fit Sport? It's my DD. They will be going on my stock struts!

Thanks!

I just put some Tein Stechs on our fit and they ride great plus provide a decent drop. If you are on stock wheels you won't have to worry about rubbing or anything. It stiffens it up without making it uncomfortable.

I'm not on stock wheels, but mine should be fine.

Rota Slips 15x6 +40, in purple. (: look great on silver.

Is it for a GD3? I have a set of Swift Springs that would be perfect for DD. Not too low but enough for improved handling. LMK.

On slips tein or eibach sportlines only. They are lowest, but smooth. Anything else is uncivilized

Oh yeah you will be fine with those wheels. We have 17's on the fit with the Tein's it rubs alittle when you hit a bump but not bad. Very comfortable but still stiff. It really took away the body roll this car has stock and makes it feel so much more stable on the road. I need to get an alignment here soon just been letting the suspension settle. Needs new tires soon also
