I think it's gonna sit a bit higher, don't mind to be honest. Calgary has really crappy roads and having the car lowered too much can be a real pain in the arse. This new suspension should be more accommodating to our roads and still give me the performance I want!

I respect your opinion. To be honest, I don't think it will raise it up by much, maybe 1/2 a cm or so from where it is currently at. The Eibach Pro Kit is already a really really mild drop. I don't want to install the Eibach's on the J's dampers, they designed their springs for their dampers, so I'm sticking to it.
EDIT: They have a pic up there showing the drop. I like how it is an even gap all around. Basically it'll add 1cm to my current height in the front and 0.75cm to my current height in the back. Not much and probably will not be that noticeable. We shall see!

justin,
i had to shield my eyes, go to the bathroom, ponder life for a moment and then brace myself after looking at what your fit looks like now.
its effing brilliant!
excellent choice on the suspension, can we expect a nice full review? 
your car is being sick. its disgusting. repulsive, abominable and all other manner of words that are usually negative, but are used to describe something that is totally,completly and utterly COOL.
Simply phenomenal man. I have a new favorite fit, and that fit is yours.

Thanks guys.
Yeah that's as many decals as I'll put on. One set to support the forum, one set to promote A&J/T1R since they've helped me out so much, and the Mugen Sport one only because I won it a year ago and figured I'd put it on since I have a whole Mugen thing going on.

I was hesitating to make just another "great car man" reply-- but I just can not help myself-- after seeing the suspension--- I gotta chime in and say you have totally inspired me to keep going with modding my car and I you have done an excellent and exceedingly tasteful job. VERY VERY little that I don't really like. I will see you on the Concourse de Elegance!

lol thanks jsensk! I'll be taking some install pics etc. next week when they go in.
billmus86, I call that piece the rear tailgate garnish. That wiper delete piece I'm not sure what it is called, but I would assume something along the lines of tailgate trim piece?

I was searching for tailgate garnish and all that came up was the middle piece....
I guess I'll have to look harder-
its not a Honda piece from another country is it? (other than Canada)

Dropped off my Fit yesterday with JDMish and Mr_ET for some new parts. The following was installed yesterday:
Cross Drilled/Slotted Rotors
J's Racing Brake Pads
T1R Stainless Steel Brake Lines
T1R Front Sway Bar
T1R Response Headers
J's Racing Suspension
Also installed the T1R Hood Damper last weekend. Here are the pics!

OooOOO Lala! That hood dampener looks like it could hold up a truck!
I like the stainless brake lines. Ours are so cheesy. Found that out when I did my wheel studs. Just moving the lines around cause the top coat of rubber to crack and flake off.
BTW, hows the header?

Yeah the stock brake lines are weak sauce. These SS Lines are awesome! The header is great, I have a bit more low end torque and it feels a bit more lively up top. I usually have to go up hills in second otherwise there is no torque, but with the header, I can go up in 3rd without worrying about slow acceleration.
