Sorry if something like this was posted already, but I am given the choice of free Eibach Sportline springs in either 2" or 1.8" drop, or Eibach ProKit 1.5".

I usually go with full coilovers when it comes to aftermarket suspension, so I wanted to get a idea of the ride height. Sorry I'm brand new to these Fits.

If possible, could you post pictures with 16" rims. Thank you.

 

This is the eibach sportline 2 x 1.8 drop. Bought them from Dallas at Tirerack.com ext 267 for 205.00 w shipping included.... feels great

whoops didnt read the 16's part....but just some info. i recently read a post of someone having df210 i think with 16s and they were rubbing, plus i think eibach offers one of the lowest drops with a spring setup in the sportlines so the pro kit might be better suited for ya..... just my 2 cents

 

Thanks for the reply, how is the ride quality?

 

I just bought the eibach sportline springs today from tirerack. I should have them in a day or two. Im excited. Hopefully the install goes well. Ive never done it before and my buddy helpin me knows about cars but has never installed springs either. Im just gonna follow the DIY thread i saw that involved skunk2 springs.

 

Hey espo79, any chance u have a pic of ur car from the side? all ur pics seem to be on angles and its hard to tell exactly how the drop looks. Thanks man!

 

If your only going with the spring's,do the ProKit.If you go with a 2in. drop on stock shock's(remember the adjustable chamber's)in time your car will bounce up/down over every bump(bye,bye shock's).I had a lowered(2.1/2)Integra on Eibach spring's back in the day and after a few month's the shock's went.Go with coilover's and save yourself a future headache.

 

should have them soon...gotta find the software from my nikon for my computer so i can upload the pics

 

I planned on getting shocks soon after, so that wouldn't be a issue.

 

well i ordered them already. So ill deal with the shock issue when that time comes

 

So the Prokit is F1.6 and R1.3 drop. That's only about 0.5inch of a difference with the Sportline. I'm just wondering if the 0.5inch really makes a big difference if dropped on the stock shocks?

I was contemplating on ordering the Sportline, but if the Prokit really is going to be significantly "better" on the stock shocks, then maybe I'll go with that?

Thanks for the help in advance.

 

I also have the eibach springs sitting in my room. cant wait to put them on. Im not to worried about blowing the shocks for a good while as the car is brand new they will be fine.

 

I did not measure my drop before and after, but at the moment I think car is lower than advertised.
I am on Eibach Pro's

anyone have pics of a drop on Espelir or Swift Springs on the Fit?? Do they make springs for the Fit

 

yea they make swift springs for the fit.

 

i dont know, but with a advertise 2.0 inch drop they look about the same height as my DF's...

 

Will either of the Eibach setups rub with stock wheels and tires?
