I am loving your build and appreciate the updates. I have a 2012 with 50K more miles :P but want to do a few modifications. Thanks for sharing which coilovers you bought. Did you buy them from rhdjapan or another source? I've been looking for something lower without sacrificing comfort since our roads in MI are brutal.

Thanks for the kind words! I actually bought them from Evasive, they had the best price.
Ok! Have some more updates! My tires came and got them installed as well as my BLR mirrors from JHP! I also picked up some cheap mats on eBay. The last two pics are how the car currently sits. I have more Kosei coming which will also get installed soon!
sweet ...i like the back wheels.
how low do those teins let you go?
Since I first installed them I raised the rear an inch and lowered the front a half inch. I could probably go another full inch all around until they're maxed out.
I like those side mirrors! Very sleek and aero. Do they provide a little better vision to the sides of the car? And do they fold in?
I think so, I'll see if I can get a pic soon. They're obviously shorter but the glass curves slightly so the viewing angle is really wide! They do fold in, but they're all manual.

Haha, really? The stock mirrors are huge. I also had aero mirrors on my IS so I guess I'm a little used to them.
Are those 15x7 +37 and are you getting Any rubbing? I've been wanting to throw some k1's on my fit for a while now and I think its time that I pull the trigger.

They're actually +38! All jokes aside, yes I was rubbing in the rear only with other people in the car so I just finished rolling my rear fenders and haven't noticed it since. I'd like to go slightly more aggressive next year but I may end up adding more camber to the front.
Been awhile since I've posted so I thought I should update!
Came out to go to work on a Friday to find this but was able to get it fixed same day!
Got to hang with some friends and new friends at basically one of the last meets of the year:
Installed an eBay special C-Pillar bar and modified the seat belt covers to look more oem:
Last but not least, lowered the front a little more and installed some SPC camber bolts in the top holes of the shock mount and am probably sitting around -4 degrees camber. I also threw on my stock mirrors again for winter, getting difficult to see during rainy nights.

Sorry for the picture dump ahead of time. I was long overdue for an update but I still have this car and everything is going well. I took some time off for myself over the winter, got married and then patiently waited for spring to arrive. Now that warmer weather is finally here, I started to get inspired to start working on this thing again. On to the mods!
First I started off by putting my summer wheels back on and ended up maxing out the rear of my coilovers.
As you can see, I bought a HKS Hi-Power!
With the quarantine, I had a lot of time to mess with the car so I decided to try a rear wiper delete that is 100% reversible.
I also installed OEM splash guards!
I picked up OEM sport mats in great condition off eBay for $60 shipped. Please excuse how messy my car is, all car washes near me are still currently closed. I also bought a new steering wheel, Keys Racing with Chasing J's titanium hardware.
Project Kics R26 installed as well as a Cusco strut bar.
Still have more parts on the way - stay tuned!!
