these are the 14mm nut top 10x70(?) long bolts.

they were $3.95 a pop at the dealer. got them as have put many
on/off cycles on them already... probably at least 8-9 times. not sure
how many more cycles left, so just got spares.

guys, these are on backorder with no ETA, so dont break them.

dont worry, ive done about 10 cycles on them and no issue.
just dont over torque them. i believe these are 40-45lbs/ft.

drove the car around in wet conditions today, first time with the
EnduraTechs installed. very balanced. i could not make the car
understeer or oversteer with normal cornering...well, a little faster
than normal cornering.

when i test cars for its limits i do it in the rain because it's easier
to find flaws at much lower speeds. so far no issues, very
dynamically balanced, neutral feel as when it is in dry condition.


expressway speeds is confidence inspiring...for a second i almost
brain farted to try to shift into 6th gear thinking i was in my
Cooper-S. uhhh.... oh wait, that's reverse!

very happy with these coilovers.

I received word that our kits will be shipping on the 25th of March on a slowboat out of Yokohama Harbor. I would expect these to arrive Chicago on or about the 8th or 9th of April.

We are very excited to get these in and get more of the Fit community experienced with our set up. I know that some people are concerned about the pricing, which is expected to be around $900 retail. The quality and materials used on these kits is worth the investment.

Any way, I will update again as I gather more info.

i dont know if you guys remember this post from weeks back...
so tonight after having dinner over at the cave just north of
OHare, i took the 294 southbound to do the final drivability
verification.

gas was 1/4th full which is ideal to run this test as it's best
to see how much the car bounces around at minimal weight.
195/50/15 tires, 34psi, expressway speeds, just me in the car.

no issue. wat? just that? really, no issue handling
the repetitive nasty ripples. im riding slightly lower than my old
DF210's and i could not feel it bottoming out on the bumpstops.

i use to have to kinda tighten up riding that toll road with just
lowering springs because it's such a bumpy ride. now i can
just relax and listen to music.

I'm happy to hear that Kenchan. And for anyone wondering what the he!! was just said, it basically translates to " it feels good without any bumping or loud noise" At least I am pretty sure that is what it says, my Japanese isn't the best.

Arigato!
