what set of coilovers should i get?

I need opinions on coilovers people...I like it low yet with some kind of comfort in the ride...any suggestions?

Already tried out the Megans and in my opinion nobody should get those! They are a good drop but too damn stiff...

My choices so far are the tein basics, ksports, or skunk2s(too pricy!)

skunk2 are great, k sport look not bad but they are made in taiwan and tein are not ajustable in damper.

Save your money and get the skunk2. You can look too for the buddyclub, cusco, ohlins.
They are all great!

just a suggestion, base your decision on the application.

skunk2 pro-c's for a stiff daily and moderate togue/track use or enduratech for a comfy daily driver and mild togue/track as an example. it'll be a much easier decision once you've decided how your Fit will be used

skunk2 if you have the money for them, they seem to be able to do everything.

if you're on a budget i'd get the D2 coilovers, they're pretty nice.
