Nope and don't plan on it, but the car looks really good when it is lowered =(

Exclamation

I'm not in the "city" but in westchester. Just last night while pulling out of a parking lot, I did a nose dive into a hole that scraped the **** out of my front ends lip ( was raining so couldn't see the dip ).
I can't even express to you what went thru my mind when I HEARD that stomach curdling crunching noise.
I'm still sick to my stomach over it.
I don't think I'd recommend lowering.
Lowered on Skunk2's.

I am in MA but I drive rough New England back-country roads with my car lowered on Tanabe GF210's. I have never had an issue with not having enough suspension travel, scraping or any other nasty stuff that other springs may impose. I just got the car a few months ago so I can't say how it will do in snow. I don't expect it to perform like my WRX in snow but with some snow tires I am confident it will be ok......I would go for the Tanabe's. It totally transformed the handling of the car without much sacrifice in comfort or lowering the ride height too much. It definately out-corners my WRX which I traded for the Fit.

Been running on T1R coilovers since they came out. The only major problem is when the snow gets deep outside but other than that...
