Thumbs up Pic Request: Lowered Fit's (springs or coilovers)

Hey all i'm used to s2ki, but i sometimes troll on here for info regarding my DD which i've decided that i would like to mod a little now that i'm driving it so much.

I'm looking at lowering my stance, yet i am not overtly concerned about the handling aspect considering most of my driving is highway. I've tried searching for pictures so that i could compare differences between springs (which i am most interested in considering most of my 'mod' funds go towards the s2000), though i am seeing that full coilovers can be considerably cheaper for the Fit than the s2k. Either way, my perfect setup would be a set of springs that would drop me enough to have a small amount of tire tuck.

If anyone has pictures their willing to post up for me i'd really appreciate it, i'll be checking back frequently, thanks everyone!!

If it's just for looks, then the lowest drop (that I know of) with springs would be the eibach sport lines. They are a little lower then the Tanabe DF210's.

That looks real clean, first preson i've seen in awhile to actually pull off the mugen's ...in my experience with s2000s, the lowest springs would be the S2's, are they lowers than the tenabe's on the Fit's??

Looking around the forum a bit will get you much better results then this thread. Most Fits on the forum are lowered.

calm yourself, I did that and used the search tab a fair amount and couldn't find the results I was looking for, this was just a much easier way for me to get pics and soley pics. The thread doesn't hurt you and the title is very obvious..if you don't like it don't read it.

I love you Sam! *LAUGHS*

Sam and Crixtala have the same springs and the same stance. Actually Chris's is worse than yours Sam. Hes on 15's though, could be the reason.

v1's and the v2's are basically the same. From what I remember, the v2's revised the high rear end (not really though) and a softer ride.
I hate when people complain about rough rides on lowering springs. If you dont want the consequences, dont touch the suspension.
