What did you do to your GE fit today?
I feel the same! What's up with so many users saying "my g/f doesn't drive stick"? When a girl (that doesn't have a licence) rides in my car, I tell them I'll let them drive it and teach them and they usually are excited about it!
Grab any set of aftermarket springs. een if they only drop you half an inch, the extra stiffness that all of them provide will decrease highway wobble
Another trick is to forget the foolish 32 or 34psi honda recommends in the tires and shoot to 35-38psi, depending on road conditions. Rough roads, stick to 35. good quality highway, hit that 38psi up. Big difference in this lightweight car

One of the first things I did was jack up the tire pressure to 40 f/ 38 r. Made a good difference in turn in and feel.
What did I do to my Fit over the last year or so.....
This has been a on going project but I'm done for this year. Thought I would share.
AVS Low profile window vents.
JDM Emblems, front, rear and steering wheel.
Tanabe Medallion axle back exhaust
Tanabe NF210 springs (After a bad experience with Megan springs.)
Painted the factory wheel satin black and added matching engraved center caps.
Installed a full Katskin leather interior.
Sprintex Supercharger.
K/N Typhoon cold air intake.

Nice car bro! Looks very clean! What do you think of the S/C? Did you install yourself? Any issues? How's the mpg?

The kit I considered rather easy to install but that is compared to what I am comfortable with.
The weak part of the kit is the piggy back, which should not be in the engine compartment. It is not really water proof or even really water resistant. I drive the car year round and rain snow and salt would eat it fast.
I have had no issues since installing except one time it stalled at a light with no indication to why, I had the radio up did not even realize till I hit the gas. Started right up. Has not done it again.
Gas mileage seems better when you drive in that manner. The SC loves the gas when you get on it. I have been averaging 28 in the city, it was more like 26 before.
I may put the factory intake back on the SC whine is insanely loud, like a siren.
In summary I like the kit and I am pretty happy with it. It has made the car fun to drive.
They are a little stiffer my guess 5 to 10%. Enough that the handles nicely, but you don't feel like you got the crap kicked out of you.

Thanks, thats good to know. The oem ride quality is on the stiffer side, but I wanted to make sure not to get too much stiffer if I got springs...might even get the koni str.t shocks/struts too just to be safe
Not sure never heard the cobalt. If you jump on it and there are lots of people around they look. As it drowns out a lot of the engine and exhaust noise, at least from being in the drivers seat. I really should have someone else drive it so I can hear what it sounds like from the outside.

For the price this seems infinitely better than the K-swap I have been kicking around.
If there was some place I could just drop my car off for the weekend and get it back with a k swap ready to roll I would perhaps feel differently
Was the S/C completely plug and play? No splicing wires or soldering or anything?

Saw someone on here do a k swap, looks hard and time consuming, this took less than a day, but k swap would probably open a lot more horse power potential.
I like the new tail lights.

This. Can you do some fly-bys for us? How loud is it to bystanders and inside the car? Best sounding GE8 exhaust setup I have heard for sure.
