New 2010 sport--Please point me in the right direction.

Thanks for all the help leading me to this little gem. Very fond of the car so far, but I'd like to tweak the suspension. I need to maintain the ride height for snow clearance but want the thing to handle like it's on rails. Don't mind loosing a little bit of comfort but I want it to corner flat. I put the Progress RSB on and that's not going to do it. I'd like to take it to Miller Motorsports Park a few times a year just to try to pass some fast cars in the corners. Anyhow, looking for suggestions on what path to take that will not create alot of extra maintenance. Thanks for your help.

looks like you need coil overs.

Put some good 16" light wheels and tires on.

I live up a smooth mountain road with about 20 great turns that I go up and down about 6 times a day. That's why the Fit. So feel in the corners is more important than improving acceleration. I'll look into wheels and tires after I get the suspension sorted out. In the meantime any specific recommendations on coilovers? A link to a good thread?

Coilover, sway bars, underbrace, strut tower bar, throw in some fender brace... You should have fun with cornering lol...

There are good companies out there like Tanabe offers lots of good suspension parts.

Just want to mention that if you go with coils, you wont maintain ride height. if that was something ur still concerned about. I havent found any company making coilovers that can be set at stock. Im tempted everyday to buy CO's but then i remember where i live and its just not feasible.
