Lifting my fit

Hello everyone. This is my first post on here. I’m sorry if this is a dumb question. I did try searching however I am not the most tech savvy person.

I am looking to lift my fit some. I found some cool spacers for the rear but what can I do in the front? Does anyone kno if different springs will work? Say lowering springs for a crv or stock accord/ civic springs

Are you converting to 4X4 as well? Just trying to figure why you want to lift a Fit. You want a higher center of gravity so it handles like crap?

You can get custom springs made from Swift or Ground Control but your shock is only so long.

A set of coil overs might be able to go higher then stock but I don't think so as most have them have shortened springs and shock bodies. Maybe you can email someone about it.

Thank u for the response. I will look into the customer springs. I didn’t think coil overs would do it either. Would make the ride stiffer but not sure about higher

Lol at the donk competition. There 16’s with a 205 55 16 tire with a 25 offset. They rub just a little in the rear. That’s what I want to go up about 1.5-2”

What about a lower profile tire? Or stretching a thinner tire if the rub is in the corners?

edit: how/where is it rubbing? Can you snap a pick or 2?

My wife surprised me with the rims and tires and of course they are non returnable. The rub the outer quarter. I’m sure I can just have the fenders rolled. However this is my everyday daily driver just don’t want to go crazy modifying it.
