Where can we get these springs in the U.S. I just got my Fit and I'm looking for a place I can get Tein, H&R, Eibach, or Spoon springs from. As you can tell, I'm very eager to mod my Fit.

I can get you Tein, H&R, and Eibach right now. However I am still not sure if there are applications for them yet. My research has not turned up much yet.

I am working on signing up here as a sponsor. w00t!

Just got off the phone with H&R.

They have an application for the sport spring kit that will lower it 1.6"f/1.4"r but it wont be available for awhile.

I got nothin so far on Tein and Eibach.

I guess the biggest issue we are going to have is whether or not the suspension pieces from the Jazz are direct fit for the Fit. Most of the time they are but these aftermarket companies will make sure they "Fit" before they announce it.

holes for the front coilovers need to be enlarged to 19mm.

What about just a spring kit? Will they just go into the place of the US Fit?

Also, as far as the UK/JDM coilover goes:
I doubt most of these manufacturers (at least the high end guys) are going to make a kit that you have to modify the shock towers on. Especially if they are designed to be a direct bolt-on. They would rather take the guess work out of the installation so that nothing bad comes back to them for the process.

He said the ride is slightly stiff but it's still as comfortable as before.

There wont be anyone out there selling H&Rs for list price. I know that I wont.

But when it comes down to it....H&R is top dog.

The current generation of modders is to used to the "ebay sale" where you can get dropzones or crap perch-style coilovers for like $60.

Iono...when it comes to suspension (the stuff that the car rides on) I tend not to cut corners.

Thats like someone buying some TE37s and putting General tires on them. LOL
