Suspension Options

So, I'm looking to replace my dampers/springs in the near future, however looking at current suspension offerings, there's not much there, so are there any options I'm missing? I see:

J's Showa Fixed Height
Tein Basic
D2
KSport
Megan
Cusco
HKS
JIC
KW
AMR

With Stance & Skunk2 both having ceased production.

Oh, and RedShift charging an arm and a leg for modified Koni Yellows.

Is that really it?

Pretty much.

There is also BC Racing BR TYPE | BC Racing North America

Fairly affordable and I have heard good things:
Amazon.com: BC Racing BR Coilovers 07+ Honda FIT- USA Chassis GD3: Automotive Amazon.com: BC Racing BR Coilovers 07+ Honda FIT- USA Chassis GD3: Automotive

I have a spare set of S2's that I am keeping for parts, but I will eventually be running a franken setup lol

Also, you CANNOT beat a set of the yellows from Redshift (now BestSuspension.com) for the rear. They are a better fit than the Saab unit, and have a different damping curve. They are not perfect, you will need to run MINIMAL bump stops, but they are by far the best off the shelf current option

Hmmm. This search is really not fun.

In a world where aesthetics were not an issue, I'd go with the J's/Showa combo, however, I'd rather not drive a car that doesn't look low enough to make me happy.

I'd love to run the RS Koni rears, but that still leaves me without an option for the front.
