Put H&R springs on both of our Fits. Greatly improved handling with pleasing ride quality. Soon to come: Progress RSBs, Continental DWs, ATE Super Brake Fluid, Carbotech Brake Pads and serious alignment sessions for both.
Stretching the Fits at the Tail of the Dragon:

Both cars:

coilovers? special spring rates? revalved? - N/A
sways - stock
braces - N/A
alignment specs? camber bolts/plates? - SPC Camber bolts
is this your dd? autox? road racing? - DD

Complete Front Stut Assembly
Does anyone know where I can buy both front strut w/ spring assembly's for my 2007 Honda fit sport? I just bought it & the previous owner lowered it but it is too low & i keep hitting curbs, speed bumps & etc.

The wheels are Falken RT-7M 16" x 7" +45 offset. I never got a chance to weigh them but I'm pretty sure they're in the 15# range. I had a difficult time finding some +45 wheels that I liked. With the H&R springs, I'm pretty certain that anything less than +45 would rub. I still have the original tires on but will be putting some 205/50-16s on soon. I'm sure that I will still have clearance, but it won't be much.

i see. skunk2 coilovers all the way down in front. rears have been modded. cut the perches in half. progress rsb j's racing rear strutbar. ebay c pillar bar. romex spring retainers in back to keep them from falling out and allowing my car to "tripod"

I ask because as you guys all know on the fit the rear coilover type spings are quite strange. like one end of them are a normal (traditional oem) style coil, and the other end of the same spring is a straight cut spring like a coilover spring to sit in a perch.
My problem is that I want swift springs but what if they are both straight cut ends on each end? how does that work>???
anyone smell what im stepping in? solution? please HAP! I WANT SWIFT!!! 16K rear rates! haha

Impressions? Likes/Dislikes? Just put the springs in but so far handles great. Firmer yet still smooth.. I find them comfortable for a lowered sport ride even on bad roads (ie., not jarring or bouncy).
