WTB: Ge8 Lowering Springs (eibach, rsr, tein, etc.)

Looking to buy a set of drop springs. I'd prefer Eibach Sportlines or Pro Kit. Or Teins or RSR!! Maybe some H&R! No T1R or Swifts! T1R are junk from everything I've read! Swifts, haha, I had em and was not impressed at all! Car didn't even appear lowered and the performance gains were almost non existent! So no offense to anyone, but you can keep your swifts! Lmk what y'all got! Need shipped to 77380 Texas! Thanks

Hey dude! Long time no chat! How's the new GE?

Regarding T1R springs... I've driven a forum member's GE8 around at work (not a long drive, just a quick lap then into our shop) that had those springs on stock struts/shocks and they were fairly stiff for a lowering spring along with featured quite a noticeable drop in comparison to stock.

I'm honestly not sure of the T1R's spring rates or whether or not the bump stops were even cut on this vehicle. Though, I was very suspicious that if the stops were indeed cut then OEM struts/shocks are way too soft for these springs.

Best of luck finding some springs you'd like.

Hey man thanks! Yeah I'm not sure on em either. However I've read a lot of bad reviews on em. So I kinda figured why take the chance. Lol I figure I'll stick with one of the known reputable names. Really would prefer coilovers but man they're expensive! No affordable options for these like there is for civics and integras. Haha

go on ebay and see if anyone is selling dropzone springs. they will be listed for 2007-2008 honda fit

great handling if your struts and shocks are good to go. Now that my suspension is worn out, it is very bouncy in city driving, but still manages to hug the corners when Im trying to have fun on the backroads
