The Eibach Pro-Kit looks really nice... but has anyone put on the Eibach Sportline Kit???
The Sportline says it will lower the front 1.8 inches and the rear 2.0 inches. Whereas the Pro-Kit is front 1.2 and rear 1.4.
I would like to see pics of the Sportline kit on the Fit.

To each their own, of course... but I really don't like the rear sitting lower (or even as low) as the front end. Just doesn't have an optimal look to me. Not all Fits look that way even if the springs lower more in the rear, I realize this.
I don't know... just personal preference, I suppose.

To each his own.
Eibach has been around forever. . They know what they're doing. I personally think the fit has a raked look with the stock suspension. To even it out, most spring manufacturers lower the rear more.

Screw that! (I mean the amount of lowering) Why do most, not all, but most spring manufacturers lower the Fit more in the rear than in the front? It doesn't make sense to me.

Hey... is the white fit in your signature lowered? If so... what did you use???

I'm running 205/40-17 Falken Ziex ZE-512 in the front and 195/40-17 Yokohama S-Drive in the back.
Ideal size for this car is 205/45-17, since most are only 7" wide.
Now Ive got 205/40-17 falkens all around, which are a little smaller in overall diameter, but not by much.
185/55-16 = 24.01 OD (Factory Sport)
195/40-17 = 23.14
205/40-17 = 23.46
215/40-17 = 23.77
205/45-17 = 24.26 (Closest)
215/45-17 = 24.62

If so, nothing good or bad, no opinion either way... just wondering why you went back to stock.
Either way, it looks good. I like the drop, but I couldn't have that in my area... it would be a major pain in the rear where I live. I'd probably end up doing damage to the front lip.

I wanted Swifts... but I don't know if I want to pay their higher prices.
The cargo factor is something I didn't even think of... if you load people or things in the back (the Fit is light in the rear anyway) it's going to get even more of that rear-slam-w/nose-in-the-air look. Some muscle cars used to look good like that. Even at that, in my opinion only a few could pull it off and look good. Not exactly great for aerodynamics either!
And yeah, given the Fit's rear-to-front natural downward slope - compliments of its sides' character lines - it doesn't look real good dropped more in the rear.
Only my opinion, though.

Am I dreaming, or did you used to have different wheels? I could have sworn you had wheels with a kind of a semi-star spoke pattern (?) with a polished lip. Am I right about that?
