finished up the install today. The driver's side front took 30 min, and the axle DID pop out again, despite a jackstand under the control arm and a jack under the hub. Popped it back in right away since I'm now a pro at popped out honda fit axles, haha. The car looks great on the DF210s, both sides are dropped equally no lopsidedness. I'm getting my enkei j-10s 17x7 which arrived today wrapped tomorrow and put on at a tire place. Will post pics then. Thanks again guys couldn't have done it without your help!

Here are some quick pics at the gas station on the way back from the tire place. I'm so happy at how it all came out cuz this my mom's car and and she was complaining about the handling and instability during windy days so I suggested rims/tires and a drop. Next up is the progress rear sway bar thing. On to the pics!









Bonus! This is my car, custom lambo grey rsx with lots of goodies Can't believe I could do all the work on my car then completely brick a spring install on the fit, haha. Damn axles!

Car is finally done. FYI Got an alignment, it took two sets of ingalls fastcam bolts up front and 2.25 degrees negative camber on each side = no more rubbing! It handles BEAUTIFULLY and wind is no longer an issue!

This post was very helpful, thanks all. Ended up getting the axlws back together after having to take one boot off partially, and the other one just popped right in after a min or two.
