Any details would be appreciated.
It looks like the rear spring has 6 effective coils. How many are on the front spring?
The car felt softer than stock at first ( I think that the OEM wheel/tire setup played a factor in this with the tire sidewall flex). After a little adjusting (and adding the 17 inch Advans), it rides a hair stiffer than stock. In the beginning, I just slapped them in there and rode with the pre-set dampening. I finally decided to tweak it a little and got it to where I like it (for now). Theres lots of adjustably with these coilovers. I daily drive my Fit 60 miles a day, and never once had a problem. I love them!

Just wondering for those of us that might be considering getting the HKS coilovers, like me, what's your long-term experience with them now?

They are definitely a gorgeous piece of equipment and your Fit looks perfect with them.

Cool. I don't need to be slammed, just close the wheel gap and seriously increase handling capability without demolishing the ride. My Fit is my DD so reliability is also important. 07 STi is my garage queen.

cant be very fun taking corners if the front rubs, but the stance does look good.

Super hyper mega nice quality from HKS.

Why so low of a drop? They look nice! Congrats! Excellent choice!
They should come with ninjas to install them!
