Correct. stock... the hubs are welded to the torsion beam. No camber happening there

Yeah. When you see car pictures online, never underestimate the amount of custom work that has gone into it.

Word. That kinda sucks cause just the front cambered don't really look good even thought its my front tires that are rubbing on the fender. :/ but I guess I will have to. Does the Buddy Club N+ Coilover front set come with a camber setup? I heard it does but wasn't sure.

I doubt it^. I believe a rear disc brake conversion can get negative camber. But that is a lot of work and well worth it.

It's pretty much the same minus the Mugen front bumper. I'm having to deal with car vandals so my Fit doesn't look as good as it used ....but by the end of the summer it will be perfect!!

JDP Front Lip - $275
Mugen Front Lip - $5**
Yea I think Mugen is farther way from JDP than you think. Thats like 2 JDP lips for one Mugen lip.

not welded bolted on you can get full contact shims from
EZ Shim

A patented Full Contact Dual Angle shim consisting of only three part numbers that corrects Toe and Camber with one shim.
Rear Adjustment range: Camber -1.50 to +1.50 Toe -1.50 to +1.50
not much but a start so using this you can add another -1.50 to existing camber from being lowered or you can pull it back to save tires or go extreme by drilling the contact surface where the hub meets up and threading it so you can put a bolt into it to kick it out but your alignment will probably never be right that way

If you DD it and nothing else, (no show or race) why mess with the alignment? is excess tire wear really worth it?

At almost 300 bucks + paint I would just get a real mugen lip.

It does. I have -3 degrees camber on my front right now with the Buddy Club coils.

You don't need buddy club coils for front camber. You can just use cam bolts. I think they were talking bout the rears, but like I said, there isn't any factory adjustments.

You shouldn't have to worry about paint. Your car is black. The lip is black. Simple as that. And it'll give you the low you need. Just saying.

Sweet I am thinking about getting the Buddy Club coilovers. I just want my car even lower now that my springs are settled. It looks stock in my eyes because I have had them for a year.

How low is low? Can you take pics of the wheel wells? Or maybe a comparison to the Eibach Sportline Springs to those coilovers?
