Here She Is!

So, here we go!!! 2008 Honda Fit Sport. She’s mint, 35K miles…stock, everything minus carpet is pristine. Southern car, no rust whatsoever anywhere. Paint is amazing for the age too.
Here’s where we’re at so far:

2.) Wilwood 4-Piston brakes this weekend
3.) Stoptech stainless brake lines and drilled/slotted rotors this weekend.
4.) Injen CAI by Thursday, install this weekend.
5.) 15X7 - 4X100 +40 Raceline Matrix next week.
6.) 5% entire rear glass, 30% front done.
7. ) Tein Coilovers by the end of week, prolly won’t get to it this weekend.
8.) New grille, JDM Red H’s front, rear, steering wheel.
9.) BOSS double din with Apple Car Play by end of week.
10.) Reverse light backup camera by end of week.
11.) Cusco Strut, Front & Rear sway bar re-enforcement next week.

Hey @devin.blue@gmail.com ! I commented on one your threads on FB!

Glad you found the forum... Please feel free to dabble through and check out the abundance of information here. Do be mindful that some threads are old so images and/or links may not work anymore as well as try not to bump up old threads.

There are still some old school Fit Freak members around like myself to chime in on occasion or at least point you in the right direction too!

Also... I'd still recommend other tires than the Neogens for the same reasons I mentioned on FB (compound age unless you need an all season for that specific size). As always and respectfully speaking though... Your car, your choice.

Nitto Neogens vs Conti Sport 02s vs Yokohama Flevas... in 205/50R15.

If you were to step up to a 16x6.5 or 16x7 with about +42mm offset (+45mm if lowered... Can safely run lower offset with camber bolts & shims), you could get the Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 Plus (yes a mouthful to say) in 205/45R16. It is legitimately the best bang for buck all season that I've experienced along with friends and clients from work. Or... An alternative all season that is better than the Neogen.

Following that... I don't recall there being a Cusco rear bar for the US spec GD3. Most of us folk favor the 22mm Progress rear bar and it is one of the benchmark modifications I always recommend to folk.
