If you want comfortable you want to stay with stock springs. There is no logical reason to change springs on a car if it isn't to sacrifice comfort for handling performance.

You can't have it both ways.
That's just not true, sorry. Tanabe springs retain excellent ride quality, while lowering the car and increasing responsiveness in handling. I am speaking from firsthand experience.

Thanks Garm for your assurance! Did you get my email earlier?
I have decided to go with Tanabe DF210 for my 09 FiT Sports.
Come to be more $$$ compared to the new T1R springs though, but I prefer to be assured of a comfortable ride....plus doing business with Garm.

Will eventually mount 17 x 7 +43 offset alloys with 205/45 x 17 tires. Wish me luck guys....smooth ride and no fender rubbing!

Yeah I agree.

My friend has a Mecedes CLK63 black series, with an after market H&R springs, with gas struts I believe, and its the most agrresive ride I have ever been in other then a McLaren SLR.... but when it hits a bump, its like hitting a pillow. No severe impact.

Amazing I tell you....
