thanks, yea im getting camber bolts this weekend probably. good thing the rears are ok since the camber cant be adjusted

 

will changing rims throw off my alignment? i wouldnt think so but a friend of mine saw my front wheels and he thought it had positive camber but i think it is just the low offset of the wheels. i am planning on putting some negative camber, just a little so that it wont rub. but if i had in spec camber before my new wheels, it wouldnt change right?

 

For some reason when you lower the fit you get positive camber. With stock wheels you might not notice it since the wheel specs are normal. With your current setup you will most definitely notice it since the wheels are pretty aggressive.

From your pics you have posted it does look like the front is out quite a bit. Camber bolts will fix that problem.

 

hmm after i lowered my fit, i got an alignment and it was in spec. i installed my new wheels about a month after I dropped the car and got it aligned. i waited about 4-5 days i think after being lowered to align my car.

 

Welcome to the fit world subieguy. It's a beautiful one haha

 

The point is not being in spec. If you want to run a low offset wheels you need to be slammed and add negative camber for it to look right. Personally I would add camber bolts and set them -1.75 since you have such a low offset.

 

That's some poke there.

You rub driving straight? Have you taken any turns at speed yet? Be careful so you don't wrinkle your fenders I have a feeling it will be a pretty serious ruckus when you hit a bump in a corner.

Just saying be careful until you get coils with stiffer springs and less travel, the STechs still compress a lot. I have STechs on +40 and I rub on turns with bumps but I'm usually going like 9/10ths on on/off ramps. I would never rub if I drove like a civilized human being. Then again I suppose you didn't go aggressive for performance but for looks and that's cool with me.

I like where the car is going and I'm sure with all your experience it will be the bees knees when it's done. Welcome aboard.

 

thank you. honestly this is the first time ive had rims with such low offset. i dont rub when im going straight. I dont rub when i enter or exit a driveway. i guess the only time i do rub is when im going over 40 or 45 and theres a dip. you are right about swithing to coils so there is less travel. hopefully in the next few months i can switch to coils. i just booked my wedding venue and spent a lot of money on it so the coils will have to wait. i really like how it looks. and yes i dont track the fit. when I get camber bolts and alignment i will add negative camber.

 

put the coils on the wedding registry. Tell her they're gourmet cooking apparatus. Get started on the right foot!

 

hah brilliant!

 

anyone know any places in the san fernando valley so cal that will roll fenders

 

so i got my fenders rolled over the weekend, things are all good !

 

 

oh yea i forgot i had a honda crz 6 speed also

 

yeabut then you go and get married and spoil everything.

 

Lol!

 

lol. yea but maybe the money we get from the wedding can help add more to the fit

 

There will be rugs and towels to buy. Fit will be jealous.

 

IDK my best man got me my springs for a wedding gift and one of the groomsmen got me tools, so just pick the right team and you might make out ok

 

given the mods that i have already done on the fit, I am worried that i dont really know what else to do to it, i dont really want to do any small engine mods because the power gain will not be worth it for me. I cant spend a few grand on supercharger due to venue costs, im running out of things to do to my car! any suggestions of what else I can do? ive searched the interwebs for a mugen front lip but cant seem to find one. open to ideas.
