Eibach Springs 4091.140

Hello Fit world?
I'm new to this I recently bought a new fit ex 15 I came from an Acura Integra that was sitting on coil overs. I was wondering what your thoughts were on the lowering Springs I purchased please give me some feedback I heard good things about them I just want a lower look and not a bouncy ride!!!! Thanks guys

I have no ideas on handling or alignment issues, but it looks like it lowers 1.2 front and 1.4 inches rear? Take some before and after pics, would like to see how it looks too.

The springs will give it a nice sporty feel with not being to low and having that typical bouncy ride that some lowering springs have. The nice thing with the drop is the stock shocks will not bottom out and be ruined within 20,000 miles

I considered these when I bought springs. I didn't like how they lower the back more than the front.

I had these on an 08 Evo X. I would not describe them as bouncy in any way. I'm sure the spring rate was more firm than the models engineered for the GK Fit, however.

As someone mentioned before, you do get a lower height on the rear than the front, but that's how the springs are designed to avoid hitting any rubbing. You should be fine with the stock wheels/tires. If you are going with a set of aftermarket, however, you will have to do some research into what is the best wheel size, offset, tire spec, in order to avoid any rubbing.
