I'm a little bit confused about spring and coilover installation in the US. Do you have to pay extra for fitting and wheel alignment?
In Thailand, we buy the springs or coilovers and the same shop fits and does wheel alignment for free. That's standard at every shop except the Honda stealership.

Most people are installing the springs themselves, then going to get an alignment.

Lek,
I've been reading your threads about the greatness of the BC coilovers you have. Can you PM me pricing and availability? Does the BC fit a US Sport 09?

Hey fellow Fit owners, I am interested in lowering my GE8 and want a reasonable lower.
I am not interested in it slammed to the ground, but want it lower than stock. I currently have 205/45/17 on all 4, so what springs would you guys recommend. Not looking for anything TOO drastic. I want to be able to have clearance but fill up the wheel well nicely.

dammit everytime i want to get rid of my steelies, i see this car and it makes me want to keep them. and i have. anyway, looks perfect. i think my favorite new fit period.
wait.. are those the standard steel wheels? mine have different sized holes to balance out the pressure sensor (and look kinda stupid)... are yours 15s or 16s? They look great...

You know, maybe it's my imagination and only the way the photos look, and maybe what I like isn't what's aesthetically-popular right now, but I like the way the front looks to be lower than the back.
I don't know the proper terminology, but I call it the "Mean or Angry Vacuum Cleaner" look!
When the rear of the car sits up a little (similar to a dragster... not as extreme) and the front's eating the road, it makes the car look like a bad@$$ animal ready to pounce.
