Anyone? I'm sure many other Fit owners would be grateful for a how to install the front springs without popping out the axle thread. A few pictures and a step by step and you are the man!

This is probably the same thread rvall004 was suggesting:

Updated tutorial on installing lowering springs

This post has pictures for how to avoid the axle popping out. I also found this one:

How To: Install Skunk2 Lowering Springs for Honda Fit

The steps are spelled out clearly here but not so many pictures. So I ordered lowering springs. Hopefully following these posts will keep the axle from popping out.

Installed Skunk2 Lowering springs today and used this DIY as a guide:

Updated tutorial on installing lowering springs

Everything went very smoothly. I was worried about the axle popping out because of all the posts about it but I didn't have any issues. The DIY is great, if you follow it carefully you shouldn't have any problems. Overall I would say it's pretty easy, the rear is simple and the front just takes a little patience. Thanks to everyone who posted and kept me from having a bad day!
