Op listen to mike410b he has 2 of the most legit,rare-jdm aesthetics oriented parts on his fit therefore...... I'm just a dumb that's going to try and convince you that a set of bilstein coilovers would be a better route than springs and bars,performance "feel" wise. Some cars greatly improve with bars. The fit is small and relativly stiff from the factory and wont benefit as much as say a galant would. Not a bad thing (buying bars) just not a miracle but a small piece of a greater puzzle.
As for Bilstein coils vs. bars and springs, I wouldn't do either. The Bilsteins will only function if the car is set up correctly, ie good alignment settings (non-OEM) and proper corner balancing. I doubt either springs/bars or improperly set up Bilsteins will improve the handling at all.
As for my owning 'JDM' appearance parts, they are what I've wanted the longest and they're tough to get a hold of, I saw an opportunity and I took it.

I never said "improperly set up" where'd you get that? Also I just said galant as a generic car. I'm not up on all mitsus .. and I like your mods don't get sad. Never said I didn't.

I said improperly set up because outside of JCrim and 555 I doubt a single member of this site even considered getting their car corner balanced after their coilovers were installed. Yet they claim huge handling increases, which are stupid unlikely.

some of the post here just do not make sense 
I installed Swift springs and Progress RSB along with upgraded 205 tires.
This made a night and day difference from stock handling.
I'm sure Bilstiens would do the same without corner balancing or any fancy set up.
If I were adding braces I would start with the Cusco lower and go from there.

Obviously tyres (however I doubt they were anything special, thus the differences minimal) and an RSB will make a difference. However your springs likely did nothing.
I'm sure Bilsteins would make no legitimate difference, just a butt dyno reaction.

Corner balancing is just fine tuning, not corner balancing a car with coilovers does not negate the handling gains of the components, which it kind of looks like you're saying here?

It won't negate but it makes a huge difference. Without corner balancing, cars on coils will handle all wonky and stuff. This is from my experience where my second set of coils was definitely not CB'd and aligned to OEM specs.
