Hey i was wondering if anyone has lowered there 09 lowered yet. If so please post some pics!!!! =]

 

Not yet ...that I know of..... but I do have a few things F.S. that can help get them there for those that are looking to lower ( shameless plug )

 

I haven't even seen springs or coils available from an American distributor yet.

 

does any body know when companies are going to come out with springs or coil overs for the ge8

 

Because they are not .... yet... I`d say about 4~5 months later you`ll start to see springs and Coilovers at the earliest

 

For the GE8 in Japan they are as follows...

( Coilovers work with front lower strut bolts )
( Springs bolt right up )

Coilovers

are all of the fit springs the same? (2009, 2008, 2007...etc???)

 

Uh....if they were the same then why do you think there are NO SPRINGS AVAILABLE FOR 09 FITS?!

 

Look a few threads down numb nuts... There are pics of a couple 09 fits, in the US, that are lowered, with springs... So what is the cut off year? Progress has up to 2007 listed on their website for their set, but this thread implies only 2009 is the new comer... See the fuzziness in this?

 

95% of the guys that are lower in the states now have ordered springs from me overseas in Japan.....

The 1st generation FIT GD3 springs and suspension will not work correctly on the newer 09 GE8 fit.....

Hope this answers your question..

 

so what do you have

 

I want to drop, but I love how comfy the stock suspension is. And it's quiet. I know that once I drop, all that will go out the window. Plus my GE8 is a lease.

 

Ohhh Boy.... PM`d you Nick

 

Not entirely true.. you can have a lower ride and maintain the same comfort level up to about a 1.3 inch drop ( 2 makers that I know of offer this type of spring )

 

whats the most comfortable drop spring you reccomend?

 

I'm sure they're comfortable to a certain extent, but stock is the best for my by far. Plus I wouldn't just drop with springs. I'd get coilovers. But it's cool. I like keeping my GE8 stock, since it is my daily driver. At least I still have my DB8 that I get to play around with. She's dropped on TEIN Flex coilovers.
