My new (to me) 2009 GE

Hey guys, new to the forum! Here is my new ride. 2009 Milano Red Sport. Local dealer got it on trade and gave me a smoking deal on it. 96k miles and it's really been taken care of. Been a while since I have had a car, and been a very long time since I have had something I wanted to modify.

Planning on Tein Street Advance coilovers and 15x7 wheels to get it stanced and then a few little mods here and there to keep it easy to drive but entertaining. If you have any advice for me on lowering or stancing my car, I'd love to hear it!

Great looking Fit!! Reminds me of mine :-(

The Tein coilovers are great. I had the Flex Z and highly recommend them for maximum low combined with comfort. Once lowered measure for some spacers and get some nice fitting wheels or spacers for the OEM. I have a set of OEM wheels that look awesome on Milano red Fit's but you are kinda far lol.

Are they different from the wheels I have?

I have been thinking about getting the suspension this year and running the stock wheels for a while and maybe getting the wheels next year. Spacers could definitely help fill that gap! How big of a spacer did you run?

Nice looking ride. I like the OEM wheels. Upgraded suspension bits and tires are nice improvements.

The sport wheels you have look great when the car is lowered. I never got a chance to add spacers but I think with the sport wheels I needed like a 20mm spacer. For my HFP wheels I needed a 5-10mm.

I had these HFP wheels
