Yes you just reuse your tpms. They're already programmed for the car and for 33 psi. They legally have to change like the washers/gaskets on them or something when they change tires, so that will add a bit to your bill. The only time they would have to reprogram tpms sensors is if you got aftermarket wheels with aftermarket tpms in them. That costs around $100 alone if not more.

Drivers side front 1.5hrs
passenger side front 30min
Rear end 15 min

The front is a pain just give up and take the windshield wipers and cowl off it makes it sooo much easier.

Got it from eBay the seller selling recaro jersey fabric I followed another door panel diy on fitfreak. It was pretty easy but you do have to Dremel the rivets out from the old fabric.

Lowered the car. Took 6 hours... I was being super cautious (used a jack to support the hubs), but the driver and passenger knuckles came out anyways. I got lucky with the driver side and it popped back in after 30 mins of playing with it. I had to remove the boot cover on the passenger side to put the knuckle back in. Worst DIY ever. So piseed off I'm not even going to take pics of the car

I feel ya on that man. And it's too bad there's no way to edit that DIY, because once those knuckles come out, it's murder. You'll love the new stance when you wake up tomorrow though!

That's my DIY! Woo! Glad to see more people are ordering from him. It was a pain convincing that guy to sell us fabric. I had to send him my original stuff to make templates from. Lmk how the red holds up to fade. I went w black because I wasn't sure.

The DIY article was actually helpful. I just never want to do suspension work on a Fit ever again. I wish someone would write a DIY on putting the knuckle back though

Installed FitFreak decal on the license plate frame. Got the decal from AKSnowman

I think you're talking about the axle bearings popping out of the transmission right? The knuckle is the part behind the hub that that the two bolts go through to hold the strut. Did you do the suspension by yourself? A second set of hands is almost crucial for removing/replacing the front struts w/o popping the axles out. My install was pretty easy, but I had my brother to help me with that part. Would have sucked by myself.
