this red diablo kid is just trolling. you're soo cool!

@ OP, how low do you want to go?

AND BTW, if you have a 2008 fit.. thats a 1st Gen not 2nd.

1st Gen in the states is 07-08
2nd Gen is 09+

I think it was just the rapid fire posting without learning a little more about the OP's desires.

Coilover yeah there good to lower your car when ever but your not running the fit on a nascar pit. So go with springs cheap and good brands. Just remember when lowering yor ride u are restricted from entering places. Speed bumps low hills high hills etc.

Lot's of lowering options, just search. I'm still too paranoid about changing suspension geometry and increasing wear to lower. Also, 2008 is first gen in USDM.

How much lower can you go? With the condition of most roads it's already in danger of scraping bodywork.
