Tein S-techs too low....

Well, after about a month I think i've decided that my Tein springs make my Fit sit WAY too low.. I was going to go with 16 or 17" wheels which would help bring it back up a bit, but I really want 15's.. so this won't help my problem.

I love the ride of the Teins, but Calgary is just filled with too many potholes and my front lip has suffered the consequences. Don't think that its cause I can't drive... I had a lowered Civic before this and I've never had this many problems getting around.

I'm gonna pick up a new set of springs.. anyone have any ideas? tanabe? eibach?

The Teins drop is about 1.81 and 1.22 front/rear respectively with a +5mm sag. I have no gap whatsoever in the front and a little bit in the rear...

I want something less and I know the Tanabe springs are supposed to be less at 1.5 and 0.9 i believe, but I dont know how they ride vs. say the eibachs..

I need some suggestions.. I still want my Fit to be lowered, but not as much as it is at the moment. I don't want too stiff of a ride and I don't want to sacrifice ride quality at all.

oh btw.. I'll have a set of Tein springs for sale very soon if anyone is interested
