Springs for more clearance?
 
I go on a lot of rocky roads in the backcountry mountains with my 07 fit, and the suspension is getting clunky.

I want to get some new springs, and im wondering if theres a way to give my fit more clearance with springs? I see a lot of threads for lowering the fit, but none for doing the opposite. Can new springs even achieve more clearance?

I realize this is an old thread, but I've been running a 3cm lift on my GE8 with spring spacers (on stock springs) for the past 6 months without noticeable issues.

It looks pretty subtle, but the ~20% increase in clearance is pretty noticeable in snow or on forest service roads.

Looks good to me! didnt even know there was a thing like spring spacers.

I really like this idea for winter. What spacers did you use?

I would suggest looking at the 2010-2014 Honda Insight coil springs, they have been confirmed to fit and provide a 1.25" or so suspension lift.

front or rear insight springs? And what spacers for the front?

I go a few places that I worry about ground clearance, So I lifted my 2011 fit sport and added some slightly larger tires.

Googled Honda Fit lift kit... Lots of choices on Ebay. The Honda Jazz is the name for the Fit outside of USA, Guess the roads in other parts of the world are not as nice as ours ....Bought one size larger snow tires also.. Good luck.
