Coil overs were bought from Teknotik in Toronto.

Ask for Eric and tell him that Kenny reffered you.

As per mod, well you can do what you want but the firt thing I personally always do is removes the bottom clamp and then there are always 2 parts that spin to lock to one another, remove one of them, By taking these 2 out yeah yeah your suspension could possibily move (right not gonna budge with 2000 pounds on it) but it allows for you to lower the car move and then there are other things to trim. But I didnt have to do much to get this low.

As said I actually enjoy looking at my fit now.

Anyone know where to get a nice front lip for the sport :S

both cars look awesome.

I cant wait to get my (same as yours) black SSR's back on and stock sport/blizzaks off.
The SSR's improve the feel of the whole car not to mention making it more perky w/better MPG.

everything looks so much better slammed. i really want to lower my fit, but the reason i got it was because i lowered my previous car WAYYY to much and got rid of it before i actually broke something

but serously.. your fit looks sooooo good like that.

I have the JDP CF lip on my car, build quality and fitment is very good. And it is very sturdy too, took out a raccoon back at the beginning of the season and didn't even scratch the lip.

Now I just need to get coil overs, these Eibach springs are way too soft.

Oh yeah, pics or it didn't happen...


*car may or may not be this low in real life

Just wondering, did you apply clear plastic tape around the edge of the jdp lip where it meets with factory bumper to prevent the possible nick on the factory bumper paint? I know its a proper/tight fitment but I really want to further protect my front bumper from paint nick..

No, but I did use some foam stripping where the main piece rests on the bumper in the lower grill.

It took a lot of my paint off just installing it, and when it got bumped one time it chipped some more off.

Ride honestly isnt much if at all better then the df210's but Im about 1" lower front and rear at least and that makes me 1000x happier. Im just happy we seem to have a early spring here. Hopefully we dont get a dump of 40-60cm of snow lol as Im rockin full summer mode!
