Default I want to lower my Fit a lot but how?

Hi,

I just bought my Jazz which is like a Fit but with a 1.4I engine 83hp..

Problem is when I look at springs available to lower it they only lower the car from 1 inch or just a little more..

I'd like to find a solution to lower it from 5cm or almost 3inches if you prefer.

Does anybody know what brand would sell such springs?

Thank you

You don't want to lower it three inches. Lowering an inch or a little bit more is enough.

I didn't know you Schweizees were as wacked as some of the... dare I say.... ricers here in the US!

5cm is about 2 inches. I already have issues with going up on some driveways with my stock Fit Sport (which has the air dam in front). I think anything more than an inch would just be silly. But everyone's got their reasons.

Es gibt viele Firmen, die Federn fuer den Fit machen sollen. Einfach suche, und du sollst irgendwas finden. Versuch mal einige Geschaefte ("tuning shops") in Deutschland; sie werden dir helfen

I'm thinking some kind of coilover system is what you are going to need to get the drop you desire.

Why did we need 8 gigantic pictures of a stock car?
