Nice! That seems to be the lowest setting...whats the drive height at?

Side note: We just adopted a Staffordshire Bull Terrier this week and we ended up naming her Eleanor...or "El"/"Elle" for short. Totally random and when I saw your thread this morning I was laughed because since naming her we've seen the name pop up left and right.

Drive height is set at about 2 finger wheel to fender gap all around, a little more for the rears. It's pretty awesome but I think my daily height could be lower-- would also mean an even smoother ride with lower pressure to the bags.

Oh awesome haha yea that happens, you only start to notice after

Lol it's not laying frame but I'm more than satisfied with how it is for now!

Thanks bro. I actually busted the lip when I was on coilovers-- I could touch the floor with a new sti lip on but I might be going a different route

Tiny update. Lowered the front about 10mm more. Looking pretty awesome height-wise now;

Thanks! The ground's a little uneven so I can actually still fit a finger width there on level ground.
I could go lower but that could also mean my side skirt could possible get crushed on uneven ground I'mma see how it all looks when I get things going for the front end.
Also gunna see if there's any possibility to mod the rear a little more to be able to match the front but I've already gone way past my own goal when I first got the car so I'm pretty happy already haha

Reviving this thread from 2017! A lot has happened since my last post. I stopped posting because I had 2-stage authentication on this forum and lost my Authenticator and could not recover it for the life of me. Another moderator was finally able to help me out.

Anyway! I had bought a 2006 Tacoma back in 2017 to use as a work truck and I lent the Fit to my sister. Pulled out the wrap, air suspension, swapped out the wheels and spoiler and tamed it out a bit but ended up taking it to the track for kicks:





Couple years went by and I found a fellow storm silver metallic with a jdp hood wanting to swap back to stock and couldn’t pass up the offer:


Fast forward to this week and we have her back and it’s in need of some TLC:


Just swapped out the TPMS sensors and got new top strut mounts yesterday that I’ll be installing Saturday— it’s got a little knocking in the front which from inspection I could tell there’s a slight gap from the body and top mount that is likely caused by worn down mounts/broken bearings. Other than that, just have a list of things I plan to check off including finding a passenger side skirt and swapping out the headunit for Apple CarPlay with reverse camera. Back to being my daily which is great! Saving some gas compared to the 2022 Tacoma also in the pic above that I’ve been using and missed the sound system I did in the Fit as well!
