+1 on swift springs. they are about the only japanese suspension manufacturer that i would trust. also, high quality springs don't settle. don't let anyone convince you that they did if you don't know for sure. mine didn't, and i have been measuring every thousand miles.

also, they are one of the few springs that aren't progressive and actually have the correct front to rear balance. excellent choice and it's nice to see someone doing homework beforehand!

Your car looks great with the new Swift stance... May have convinced me to go the same route. Thanks for sharing, and keep having fun!

I'm very disappointed with my Eibach pro-kit too. Rubs like mofo on the back when I give someone a ride. It's like a set of cutted stock springs!

Thinking to switch to swift now hoping the response will be quicker.

Oh boy, looks like I may have to wait on either tint or the JDM center console. These sound great because I'm somewhat bothered by the fact that the Fit seems to pick up every little dip.

I honestly have no experience messing with cars, but how easy is it to switch out the springs? What's needed? I did have an Acura Legend before it but it was bonestock and my Fit would've stayed this way until I found these damn forums.
