Need some advice !

Greetings from Los Angeles! I'm about to sell my 98 prelude to buy a manual fit sport ..

Just wondering what are the best lowering springs that will give my future FIT the best LOWEST drop and ride ?

I'm eventually going to buy a full suspension but for the mean time I'm gonna need to settle for lowering springs.. Help me out !

if you want low try:

eibach sportline - lowers, 2.0" in front, 1.8" in back.

If you want any lower you'll have to go coilovers.

I just got done installing the DF210 springs on my friends fit. The drop is really nice and very smooth.

nice. I've got my eyes on them because it gives a LOWWWW stance. Hey I noticed that you work for honda .. you think you can point me to the right direction? I'm looking into buying a fit within the month.. I'm from Glendale,CA and I am looking to buy a Manual Vivid Blue Pearl Sport w/ the 16 inch alloy wheel setup... Do you know which dealerships near me will have them in stock ? If theres no vivid blue pearl than I'm willing to look at any color just as long as its still a sport m/t with the 16 inch alloy wheels .. Let me know =) Thanks

I'll tell you, with the difficulty in finding an M/T Sport in general, I wouldn't worry about whether it has the HFP rims or not. Buy any one you can get your hands on, period. Afterwards, you can buy the rims from Bernardi or Honda Parts Deals on you own cheaper than most dealers anyway.
