what system are you using? i've been toying with the idea of going bagged. the prices are finally starting to come down a bit. lol

 

I'm using Air Runner, which is pretty much a bolt on kit (although the website says rear modifications need to be done, but I don't know what that is, exactly).

Another bolt on kit that I know of is AirREX, which are bags over coilovers, so you can drop it as low as you want depending on how you adjust them (The kit for the Fit from Air Runner are NOT bags over coils).

And the other option would be to piece together your own kit and make it yourself. I know another member (danielg) pieced his own kit together but had to make modifications to get them to work correctly. Maybe you could do this with your BC Coilovers?

I was debating between the two systems before I bought them. I wanted Air Runner first, then AirREX came out so that changed my mind because I liked the idea of bags over coils, but in the end I went back to Air Runner since they've been around for awhile and are known to be high quality, reliable systems (when installed properly, of course). The only downside is that they don't go as low AirREX, but they do sit pretty dang low when aired out. The fronts tuck tire easily and the rear tucks a little bit of tire. Modifications can be done to the rear though to make it sit lower, which I will probably do in the future, but I am happy with where everything sits now.

All in all, I love my Air Runner kit and don't regret buying it. If you got the dough though, I'd recommend going air ride. I love hard parking

 

Looks great, nice job!

 

Not quite super pimped but well on its way.

 

You sir, have very good taste.

Here's mine from about a few weeks back. Don't mind the giant "1" and my tow hook, I was roadcoursing and autoXing all weekend long. I killed more bugs on the roadcourse then I did driving to the event.





In line for inspection...then off came the stock rims.

 

Which tow hook is that again?

 

eBay. 07-11 HONDA FIT JDM Red Tow Hook Billet Aluminum Sport Towing Hitch Set | eBay

Holds up well, it seems strong enough for its purpose. (I towed my car around with a 4 wheeler just to test it)

Only bad thing is mine was on all weekend in blazing hot sun, and got really sun faded. It was almost a dull pink by the end of the weekend.

It's been since powder coated.

 

Thank you twin lol your car is almost like mine with the exception of a couple things. Too bad you don't live in cali

 

I have been looking for an aftermarket towhook for $24 you can not beat it. I contacted TIR and they e-mail me saying they no longer produce one. But $99 vs $24 I would be happy.

Those white cars look great with the black hoods and white wheels.

 

I don't want anyone to take this the wrong way, i'm not trying to be a douche, I promise.

What's wrong with the factory towhook? I don't understand this new obsession with towhooks? If it's just for style, that's cool. I am just wondering if there's a functional reason to buy a different towhook other than the one provided?

 

What u mean u not pimp enough? Having air
Suspension is pimp status! I want air suspension bad but it's dough man! Jesus ! One day

 

I have a factory towhook also one powdercoated red. I just think the "floppy" two-piece towhook looks a bit different.

 

Lol you have no idea how badly I want to be in Cali. So many lovely road course. I might come to Cali next year for redline time attack though.

It's simple buddy. I in my most humble opinion think the stock tow hook look like shit. No offense to anyone. If I had to have one, which I did, I didn't want an eye sore. Sure the stock tow hook functions, but in this case, I wanted form and function.

On a side note I would like to add, I don't wear my hook outside of track days. I think it looks tacky.

 

I was just thinking there might be some obvious advantage to one of those large Benen style towhooks or the aftermarket hinged hooks that go in the stock location that I was overlooking. I guess it is good that they're brightly colored in case the tow crew ever did have to meet you on track (off track? haha) so it's more obvious to them if you don't have a TOW arrow.

No problem with wanting it to look better, the question was mainly a curious one. Thanks for response.
