The gap between the front tyre and arch is greater than the gap between the rear tyre and rear arch but it's perfectly balanced as it is now. I could lower the front for looks but I prefer better handling over looks as it's my daily.
I will lower the car all round some more though so the rear tyre just sticks under the guards (they are rolled) and then there will be a 1 finger gap between the front tyre and arch.
Also, just bought a K20A so working on the conversion soon! Will keep everyone up to date on the progress

Sussy is custom Buddy club N+ coilovers. Custom because they were built for the US and our Jazz/Fits are more like the JDM version and I've had some troubles getting the US Spec coilovers on the car!!!
I work for Buddy club here in Australia so I've got a few BC bits on the car. So far:
Buddy club Racing spec radiator cap
Buddy club Racing spec oil filler cap
Buddy Club N+ coilovers
Buddy club P1 Racing QF (custom powder coated gloss black) 15x7 +35
Buddy club racing nut (black)
Buddy Club racing spec condenser
Buddy club Racing spec type-B shift knob
Buddy club shoulder/harness pads

Have they been released already? and if so, do you know where I can buy a set? There are a few members here on the board, including myself, that have been waiting for it's release.
No they have not been released yet. I am a test mule!
Your best bet is to still contact Buddy club USA.
I've tried "the other" very popular Japanese coilover on the Fit/Jazz and have personally found them to be way too soft for my liking.
In comparison to the other street based coilover, the spring rates are higher in these Buddy club coilovers and the coilover design allows for much greater adjustability. On the very softest damper setting the suspension feels like stock (albeit a little firmer). On the middle setting it's nice and firm. I've yet to try them on their stiffest setting. This is a good sign as the other brand of coilover out there on full soft is literally un-usable (braking at the lights makes your car see-saw back and forth lol!).

Damn, I was hoping they were already released and that I was just too busy to notice.... ohh well the, the LONG wait continues.... none the less, the car looks!
may i ask, why did u end up using the BC made for usdm fits? dont BC already have N+ for our Jazz? or its mainly for product testing purposes?
Buddy club Australia can't get a hold of any suspension for the Jazz. As far as I know the N+ coilovers on my car are designed for the US market, we simply had a set that was in development sent to Australia for some testing on my Jazz.
Having said that, it's looking like development for the Australian market will stop on these coilovers which is a REAL SHAME as the ride is so unbelievably PERFECT (on middle damper setting). The ride reminds me of the best suspension I've ever had on a car, and that was a set of Toda Fightex coilovers on my old DC2R. Firm yet able to soak up the rough bumps in Sydney roads very well, a perfect compromise which is rarely achieved in many coilovers I have tried on various cars.
As they are now the rear is not height adjustable (I've taken off the adjustable perch as it was sitting a couple of inches higher in the rear on the lowest setting, it's just the springs and dampers in the rear now) and the fronts aren't really adjustable either. I can go higher, but not lower unless I get adjustable gear (can get from Pedders).
Personally I'm 100% happy with the ride, the spring rates and damper action is perfect. I can fly over speed humps without the front bottoming out and scraping on anything which is awesome. I'm a little upset that I can't go lower all 4 corners by another inch for looks though, that's my main gripe. I could cut a coil off the rear and get adjustable sussy gear on the front to lower the car that extra inch but cutting coils just isn't an option for me (bit dodgey?!).
