I can't wait to hear what you think. I too, am tryting to figure out whether to wait for the adjustable dampers or get the basics.

Just installed last night. No pics, but I can say the install was pretty easy and I'm happy with the results.

Only thing is my ABS light came on afterwards. So I thought it was a wire that came loose during the install. Still can't isolate the reason for the ABS light coming on, so I've asked for help in the forums.

The ride is stiffer, but still pretty good. Reason i picked these coilovers was cause I needed the car to be a daily driver and the ride needed to be ok for that. Not too stiff, but soft enough that I'm not breaking my neck over every bump in LA.

I'll post pics when I get a chance.

Did you have to modify anything to get these to work?

No Mods. Comes with everything you need and a diagram of how the coils should be set up when being installed.

Took me about an 1 1/2 to install only cause I had a little hang up with the drivers side front. Doable in an hour.

good for u! i havent installed mine yet it still packed up in my room, i just waiting for the steel braided brake lines and some racing brake pads, so i can do em all together and get it aligned and fix the camber too. hopefully by first week of sept.

Tein's Super Compact coilovers fits all Fit... Damping and height adjustable.. You can even add-in a EDFC for ease of adjustment from your cockpit...

Anyone know if somebody makes a camber shim? I want to camber the rears a few degrees to fit some wider wheels in there.

You can see a lot of the VIP style fits with crazy camber in the rears.

There is this rear chamber kit from Japan by this brand call Aeroover... Try Google for the link...

ive told this story in other threads but here it goes again. i got the tein basic damper kit. the rear install took about 45 minutes. super easy. the front passenger side went in without a hitch too BUT when it came to the driver side, i didnt support the control arm when i took out the stock strut and the driveshaft came out of the socket. after about two hours and 4 different people trying to get it back it, it magically went back in. other than some rubbing issues, my car looked and handled f*cking awesome!! but i hadnt installed my j's racing roll center adjusters. so we get the control arm off, put it under the press to pop the stock ball joints out and i bent the control arm!! it wasnt too bad so i installed the roll center adjusters and putting back on the drivers side control arm, THE DRIVESHAFT CAME OUT AGAIN!! so after about an hour of twisting and pushing, i get it back in. take it around the block and fall in love with my suspension. i take off the wheel to raise the suspension a little to deal with the rubbing and there is grease everywhere. i put a tear in the driveshaft boot and honda doesnt sell just the boot so i had to buy the whole driveshaft. ugh. a $650 mistake. ANYWAYS, my car is at a suspension shop right now getting a new control arm and a new front axle. there goes my spoon lsd money. sigh.
