Lowered Mugen Fits

First let me start off and say I have lurked around the forums for quite sometime. I'm currently in the process of looking at options for lowering the Fit; what I am requesting is that ONLY pictures of Fits with the Mugen lip on the front that are lowered to be posted, along with the suspension set up. I am more or less looking to see how low I can go on what springs/coilovers, and since the lip sits down lower than the stock sport bumper, I would like to see what it looks like/ground clearance.

So, let the posting begin, I appreciate it!

Nobody is going to want to help you if you're treating people like that

I thought the Fit on the webpage was lowered, but they must've Photoshoped it. I thought the lowered suspension was inclusive...they usually are. I had a lowered Mugen struts on my RSX.

The 2010 Fit posted on Honda's site doesn't have lowered suspension as it is not an option on USDM GE's.

if my post was worded incorrectly and I have offended you Crystal, then my apologies, it was not intended to. I have been part of a wide variety of forums, and from my experiences (Honda-Tech) a lot of members like to be smart arses.

As I stated, if I offended, I apologize; must have been either my long day at work or that it is late at night.

If I needed to be clearer; I wanted to see pictures of GE's with Mugen lips that are lowered on springs or coilovers. If they are, if the specs could be posted it would be greatly appreciated.

Ah I didn't see that thread when I searched, but I only see yours pictured in the thread? Looks great, definitely a point where I'd like my CBP to be, what are you lowered on?

I'm lowered on sportlines and running 205/45/17 tires. The Mugen lip is maybe at most 20mm lower than stock it's barely noticeable as far as daily driving is concerned. I haven't scraped it on anything yet.

Would you happen to have a side profile of the car? The sportlines definitely looks like an option, and I want; if possible, to see an all around look of the car?

On a side note: I've noticed the T1R Coilks are only .1 lower in terms of drop compared to the Eibach Pro Kit. Would this become a matter of preference? Am I just over thinking this? Haha
