Does anyone know who give the Fit the LEAST amount of drop with springs? I feel that with the stock suspension, the rears are WAY too soft. I'm rubbing on hard bumps and dips with 16" wheels while being in stock height. I'm hoping that with new springs, they'll be stiffer and will at least prevent the rubbing a little, until someone makes a stiffer shock for the rears.

T1R S-Coil $251.99 1.6/1.4 179/341
Swift 4H017 1.4/0.8 168/313

may not be the best list but it seems to have some of the best.

 

Doesn't swift have a 1.0/.08?

 

The J's racing dampers have a pretty small drop. 30mm front / 25mm rear if I remember correctly. You'll be getting performance out of it too.

 

Springs alone would probably be the swift springs as in terms of mildest drop. Full suspension (springs and dampers) would be the mugen, which I think is about an inch drop all around...

 

I have the swift sport springs with 16'' tires and have no rubbing issues at all. The springs have a drop 1.2'' front and 1'' back.

 

thanks everyone!!

 

you should just fix the area that's rubbing.
