[sirhc]

black on black! very nice man

[JamesBizzle]

wow, looks clean my friend

[justinfox]

Thanks guys.

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

Looks hella good mate. Hows the ride on the Buddy club N+ coilovers?

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.

[justinfox]

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!).
