Good stuff.

The ride Is Awsome! it took 80% of the body-roll out, and its alot more responsive and stiff, but not too much, just right, it was a good 1.8in (F) and 2.0 in(R) drop, night and day difference.

Well the first one (driver side) was the ginne-pig. we started at 7pm and ended it at 10:30pm, we had some trouble with the axle poping out of the tranny kinda, the axle itself didn't pop out but whatever is inside that boot was popped out, so it wouldn't all go back in but finnaly after a little pushin and twistin it popped back into place and everything bolted right back up, then zipped through the pass front not letting the axle joints pop out, then the back took like 5 min total, we dropped both sides at the same time and popped the new springs in, and used a jack to pushem back up, the botta bing botta boom, it was done! i love it! we ended at like midnight but if you know what you doing its about a 2 or 3 our job.

Thanks to JDM_DOHC_SiR for hookin me up with the springs, he's a good guy and a fast shipper

Your welcome... just wait till they settle in a week or two.. you be a tad bit lower up front and not to much more in the rear than what you are now ... It should have a really good stance.. Now put some wheels on that ride!!

Looks phenominal. Love the color. Love the tint. Love the height. Are you planning new rims and, if so, please post pics when you do.

hey ashpanda, with that drop did you have any problems with camber adjustments? reason i ask is i wanna drop my fit also, and im debating on getting the eibach sports lines which is about the same drop as the rsr, or the eibach pro kits which isnt as an aggresive drop. i just want to have a decent drop and not have to worry about camber kits
