Noob question

I've been reading over what's best suspension wise for the Fit's, and I can't decide.

I have a newborn, so I'm not trying to have a crazy drop. Just enough to get rid of that ugly gap. Suggestions?

My front end already scrapes sometimes when I exit my driveway... so I think I'll be staying at stock height.

Not that that helps you at all

Tanabe NF210s will probably do the trick.

If you dont want to compromise ride compfort about a after market rims with a 40 offset will give you the allusion that the gap is fill..

So big enough tires will make it look like the gap is filled?

I agree with Vanct.. NF210's you won't be able to tell the difference in ride quality but stance will look 10x better.

What does having a crazy drop have to do with losing ride comfort. The only reason why you hear this complaint is because members, including myself, are running springs on stock shocks, which holds up but it's not the best set up for a complete suspension modification.

Coilovers are your best bet. Search them up and you'll see how they can accomodate a low drop and ride comfort at the same time
