Hi guys,

Just new here, i just have a quick question regarding the FIT's(GD3) released in japan and US.

I know there's a difference in the front end (Headlights, Bumpers, etc etc)
but i just want to know the exact/specific weight of the FIT released in the US as compared to the ones released in Japan. Is the difference negligible?

I'd appreciate if anyone could help me out.

Thanks for the link Black01.

Actually, i wanted to know the difference in weight coz i've had eibach pro-kit installed on my fit, but im not getting the advertised 1.6" drop.. waited for a 3weeks to a month hoping that it would settle but it did not.

I looked at some of the pics here of GD3's running on eibachs and the results are far more better than mine. Ive tried to measure it before and after and it gave me only about an inch in drop (so i still have a half of an inch left)

Another thing that made me ask this question is, My rear was lower compared to my front end (measuring it from the fender down until the road)

Btw, im on stock springs now. Im just curious if there's really a big difference on the weight up front.

apparently mine is the EU spec but it looks exactly like a JDM spec GD3 bar the fog lights that are fitted on mine

Tare weight is 990kg, use it/dont use it...
