My name is Vila from the peach state (GA). After having the itch for the last 2 years to purchase the perfect GD3 Fit, I finally made that dream come true this past weekend and booked a one way flight ticket to Texas. After a 15 hour drive home I am now the proud owner of a 2008 Honda Fit Sport in Vivid Blue Pearl 5-speed! Along the way I stopped by a friend's place in Alabama and we adjusted the valves and the intake side had a little play. I have so much planned for this car as it will be my daily driver/project. I am currently on the hunt for a set of Tein S Tech springs for it. So if you have some for sell, PM me please! Enough with the chit chat. Here are a couple of pics I snagged on this rainy day.
As for the Tein S Techs, I've ran them on numerous Civic/Integra chassis and never had an issue with them. I do realize they are not the best springs out there. However, this build will be a daily driver/budget build and I only really wanted to focus on the aesthetics and maintenance of it.

Have you looked at the Tanabe GF210 springs? Best balance of drop and ride for the GD if I recall correctly and worked well with stock dampers. Swift is another spring that is known to work good with OEM dampers as well though they are a little bit on the firmer side in terms of ride quality.

I looked into those along with the DF series by Tanabe. However, I just purchased a set of Tein Basic Coilovers for a price I couldn't pass up. Also, picked upped a T1R short shifter along with some other JDM goodies off a member on the Truefitcrew page on Facebook!
Congrats! I think I have the Tein springs everyone's referring to on my Fit (previous owner installed them). I'm not a fan of the uneven stance (front low, back high) and they definitely ride harsh, especially for a DD. I'm thinking of switching to something else that's more leveled.
