impressie Ben :thumbsup:
may i ask..is this setting =>
this height at the front? =>
cause from the first pic it seems tat u still hav a fair bit of drop allowance.
and by the way.. wth tat drop, hows the ride feeling? from my experience..the jazz/fit isnt built to withstand such dumpage, the bushings; control arms and A brackets are all under alot of pressure tat they arnt allow to absord or depress much further. hence causing even firmer ride. are u fidning the same?

Here's another one to add to the list:
Swift Springs
Swift Lowering Springs: Progressive Springs. Spring rates are 3 kg front and 5.6 kg rear. Will lower the front by 1.18 inch and 0.98 inch in the rear. Comes with 3 years unlimited mileage warranty on the springs for defect or sagging if install by qualify technican.
History of Swift Springs:
http://216.105.56.102/index.asp?PageAction=Custom&ID=91
The Spoon Sports Honda Fit that race in this country use the Swift Springs for their coil-overs and if it is good enough for Spoon Sports, certaintly it is good enough for the rest of us.
Please note that the below Spoon Sports Fit is using their Coil-overs kit with Swift Coil-over springs, these lowering springs will not lower this much of course. I will post pictures of it as soon as we have it installed on our Honda Fit.
prices will be set at a later date.

The EIBACH product no. for the FIT
1. SPORTLINE PART: 4.6940 front 2.0in rear 1.8in
2. PRO-KIT PART: 4069.140 front 1.6in rear 1.3in
Might make the little FIT a bit more stiff to say the least. I will probably put the PRO-KIT on.
The ass-end does not stick up like the MUGEN hmmm?

Springs
If you are able to provide or correct any information on springs, please do so in this thread and I'll try to keep this updated. Also, if you feel other information should be added, please suggest.
If you have side-view photos of your car, preferrably on stock wheels and tires, please post them here and I will add them as well. If you have aftermarket wheel or tire sizes, please post those as well. Again, stock wheels and tires are preferred for comparison.
