GE Lowering Springs Recommendations

Hi Fellow FF Members.

I've browsed through some pages of the springs for the Fit but since not all of them are available here in our country locally, would just like to ask for help or any recommendations regarding the following springs.

a. Tein S. Tech
b. Espelir
c. Swift
d. H&R

Will be using a 17x7.5 mags with 205/45 tire specs.. Would like to know which of the following springs would not have any issues with this. Also i think i need a spring which isn't that low since road conditions here aren't great at all. Maybe a good 2 finger gap front and 3 inger gap rear?

Or should i just stay stock?

Thanks in advance guys!

Swift is a pretty mild drop, but you're probably going to have issues w/ most springs and that setup.

issues meaning rubbing? offset of the wheels will be +45.

The 17x7.5 concerns me. If it was 17x7 I wouldn't think twice at that offset.

hmm okay.. its just that 17x7 wheel specs here are hard to find. i'll keep that in mind though.

So you are saying among the rest is that the swift springs have the mildest drop? Maybe a good 2 finger gaps from the wheels?
