Pro-kit or Sportlines??

Hey guys, I wanna lower my 09 ORM Fit, but im not sure what springs to use? I have narrowed it down to a few and was wondering if you guys could give some info on them if you have Eibach Pro-kit or the Sportline kit ( handling, harshness, rubbing, anything! I want to make the car handle better but not scrape and rub on every bump!

I have the Pro Kit on my Sport- with any speed bumps, you'll rub, or have to crawl. Also, some of the lovely potholes around here cause me to hit the bumpstops- Sportlines would be even worse- Mark W.

(^^I never had any problems with speed bumps at all and i ran sportlines, pretty much sat perfect.) I just sold my Fit and have my sportline springs up for sale. Gave it the perfect stance and rode pretty much like stock. Pm me if interested.

I'll go on a tangent....

Swift springs.

Swifts were on my list of possibilities, but the price and they dont seem to lower the car enough! maybe you could post some pics? and give some insight any rubbing issues with the swifts? do they improve handling?

Can't comment on the FIT specifically but I've owned sport line springs and PRO(gressive) KIT. Sportlines gave a lower stance and that was about the only noticeable difference.
