You will love that Bilstein
I use to have it on my car.

Just don't lowered the front coil over too much because it would run out of suspension travel on bumpy road and hurt handling.
The rear one, you can lowered it to the max.
oh, and get SPC camber bolt to get about 1.5 to minus 2 camber up front.
you need 4 pieces of SPC camber bolt (bought 2 set, they come in pairs).

Thanks for the tip. I was wondering about those camber bolts! But I couldn't find the information if I needed them with the bilsteins or not. So I need them even if iam lowering a little bit?

Right on. Would love that. Trying to work out a Fit meet here this fall. I have a good friend in Apex. I go to visit Cheese Cake Factory. I used to drive to RDU too. I was gate supervisor for United Airlines. Drove there daily. I'd never ever live there. I love surfing too much. Hit me up via call/text @910-279-4333.

Hehee same here before I bought my fit. Had a mustang that was insainly modded with just way too much boost to be enjoyable. This fit has been the best decision of my life
