thank you the only time i rub is under hard turns at the track. but it has been solved with constant hard driving leading to my fender liner being partially donated to the track lol i mean Melted of course and a little bit of natural fender roll LOL. hope fully in 2 weeks ill have my final set up done cf lip hood fender roll bigger tires in the front aiming for 225 and all the small things i been missing.

The teins super compacts are great for the track I am currently running them at max stiff settings with -1.9 camber in the front. I was having issues running them with the lowest stiffness setting as they made my tires rub on any bump. I didn't bother really trying to find a comfortable setting so I just set them to the max and I have been in loved with them ever since.

At max settings they are no where near stock comfort but it isn't way over bumpy ether I can actually live with it in daily driving and my gf hasn't complained .

But I think you can find an ideal setting if you mess with the dampeners its all up to personal preference. You might have the same rubbing issues as I did do specially sense your running the same offset and tire size as me.

All so the don't forget that the ride height all so contributes to the rubbing look at how low i am in the pictures if your about half a inch higher than that and I think you will be just fine.

@phenoyz - I'm in the same boat...I'm leaning towards the bilstein pss for daily comfort...any of the higher end (cusco, rsr, tein, hks, etc.) are gonna be geared toward a much firmer ride.

@Noxm09 - ride looks great, man!

It looks like the moding craze on my fit has come to an end. Just within a month of owning it I dropt $6k worth of parts on it and now 6 months later and 17k miles I have come down to the final mods till the HKS turbo kit comes out next year.

I do think I modded it way to fast, and now I just step into my garage every weekend and yell out fack what can I do next ?

Any ways yes I am crazy for putting in 17k miles in 6 months but I do love driving my fit hard on the track and on spirited runs .

Here's a sneak peak of the final product Ill be having a final photo shoot in the next few days till then enjoy.


Front page has been updated with the new mods and the grand finaly list.

HA! I knew I heard of the Tein super compacts on here when I got mine! Love your stance and wheels. I'm totally amazed at the ride quality of the Teins. Really good for me daily driving!

Car looks cool!

Car looks great, really nice wheels...you went all out with the Advan RGIIs. I'm glad you didn't go with the Mugen kit...

....but teh body side molding on your sport is ghey. Fo' realz. Ruins the streamlined look of the car.
