I def did this and still the springs compressed. it so weird. I've just haven't experienced this before. The dampening adjustment is odd as well. maybe Tein needs some better QC.
Aside from that I went ham at RHDjapan:
CUSCO Front Lower Arm Bar Version I - GP1 GP4 GG7 GE6 GE8 RU3 ZF1 ZE2 GB3 JB1 GK3 GK5
CUSCO Front Lower Arm Bar Version II - GB3 GE6 GE8 GP1 GP2 GG7 ZF1 ZE2
Laile Rear Wagon Bar Honda FIT GD1 GD3 GE8
Spoon Sports Subframe Rear Rigid Collar Kit - ZF ZE GJ FN GK GE RU
Laile Beatrush Floor Performance Bar - Fit GE8
who knows how long its going to be. I pain FED EX economy. See how long it takes. I just need the RWB now.

Hope your parts arrive quickly and you figure out your rear end. Thats weird that its responding like that if you set the struts/shocks properly.

Alright guys. Wall of text incoming...
It's been a crazy weekend in so many different aspects:
Firstly, I went to that meet on Saturday. At 10PM. It ended at 11 xD
But thankfully they are gonna happen every weekend. That was the "test." It's hosted at a dragstrip hehehe... Check the videos/pics attached to this post.
I went through a very rough transition with my parents this past few days (I'm 19y/o, Freshman in college). Everything's okay now but I basically told them who I am and who I'm becoming and they had to accept it.
Following that, I plan to go into automotive engineering, because, why not spend the rest of my life working on cars? That being said, I need a break from school so I can literally get my life together.
Starting in two weeks, I'll be working 4-5 jobs. Originally I was gonna take 8 credit hours this summer but that will wait until I know for sure what I want to do. One of these jobs happens to give me 20% off everything in store (Autozone)...
Which means: I'll have an enormous amount of expendable income. I plan to transfer insurance/living etc. to myself, and pay for everything. That gives me the freedom to do whatever, whenever
SO, expect this car to be done by a year from now. Completely done. I plan to pick up another project car this summer, because why not?? I'm looking into old nissans, I want a 300zx, 280z, or old STI or Evo. That will be a daily while the Fit gets overhauled.
My plans for the Fit are as follows:
1. Weight Reduction. By far the easiest, most cost-effective power on the market. I expect the car (and me) to drop all unnecessary weight, including A/C, sound deadening, etc.
2. Engine. I want a Civic Type-R engine. The new Type-R. Now yeah, we're talking at least $6k, but a true turbo build will be twice that. This way, I have a super powerful stock engine (N/A) and I can spend another $6k and get a decent turbo. At even as little as 15lbs of boost, the car will be stupid fast.
3. Aesthetic Appeal. When I first got this car at age 16 I didn't care, I just wanted to look cool and sound cool. Now I wanna go all OEM and be fast. So that's that
4. 0-60. This is similar in vein to the engine/weight sections, but I want the 0-60 time to be sub-4 seconds. Easily achievable. I do want this car to be street legal as well.
So to make a long story short, I'll be making a shitload of money and putting most of it into this car. My goal is the fastest daily, street legal Fit in the states. Or the world?
But, I have to finish strong this semester. So this will all start happening about 2 weeks from now. Stay tuned. And speaking of tuned my first purchase will be a K-tuner, to decide whether or not I should just keep the L15A7 and overhaul it.
Also, if you want quick updates, follow me on Snapchat @daniel.todd
And I'm going to start a YT channel to host all of this. There will be a lot of videos. Speaking of which, once I figure out this 4k camera I'll post the drag vids and others.

Right...I am not making my suspension slightly wet...thanks for the correction and excuse my missuse of the english language 
Got my alignment done. Surprisingly not that off.
Before:
Driver camber +1.5 (not tucked)
Passenger Camber -1 (tucked/lined up with fender)
Toe 1/2"
After
Driver camber -1
Passenger camber -1
Toe 1/8"
They also measured my fender heights for me since they had a level surface and said I was within 1/16" of an inch on all 4 corners. I think that'll be good =)

Does anyone know if there is an online DIY on how to remove the front bumper off of the GE8? I tried removing it when I put on the mugen grill but I couldn't find a few screws/clips and needed up installing without removing the bumper.
I have to remove the front bumper next week for painting (taking it off myself to save on time/cost)

Ok, I have a shit ton of Downstar bolts and washers from my last two EG/ EK builds. If anyone wants some 10mm Allen head bolts( the ones in the plastic) or the V1 dress up bolts, you can have them. Just pay for shipping (like $5 US). Pm me hear. I'll give y'all 24hours before I place the same deal on the Facebook page.
