It was, and I like the way your car looks with both the springs and wheels. It helped convince me to go with the H&Rs. Gray wheels on a dark gray car is just too much gray for me. It's too bad that is the only color the Kosei's are available in, because otherwise it's a good looking wheel that is nice and light.

I think they introduced polished metal metallic to the Fit in 2011, probably to replace SSM. It seems to be common among many different Honda models.

nice ride !
how is the ride on highways ? does it get scary like on high speeds or it feels planted ?
i m looking for springs with stock shocks..
i know swifts is what i should go for.. but spending 28o $ on springs to get 1 inch drop seems lame to me

It's a slightly harsher ride than the stock springs, but it's also better controlled. I'm happy with the change.

You ought to look for a thread that discusses springs. This isn't that thread.

Thanks. The photos in post #12 were taken after I had the car tinted. I posted this last photo to a thread called tint, yay or nay, but didn't post it here (until now):

It has been a while since I posted in this thread. Here's a photo from last month's fun run event with the BMW club. The Fit is a fun car to race, and surprisingly quick



And a video:

Looks fun! Very odd tho. Has ur car ever been in a wreck? Cause ur left rear toe is excessivly toe'd in which is not normal. Im curious too why ur front toe was so toed in before u had that alignment done.

Odometer was only 12 when I bought the car and I put most of them on there during the test drive. If I had to guess, the tech doing the custom alignment didn't really care about the current suspension settings and got sloppy capturing them.

Theres not really a sloppy way to measure the "before" measurement with any laser alignment machine. The front im not worried about as odd as it was cuz it aligned out to factory specs but the left rear toe is pretty bad. Not sure if u know but fits can only be adjusted for toe in the front. If u still have factory warranty id take it into honda and get a new rear axle/hub assembly. I bought a brand new 2013 from my dealership and did,the alignment and the rear was almost dead even on factory spec. And of coarse they will double,check it,for u. Just a little fyi.

I know, I found the second photo you posted when I was looking for pictures of these wheels on a Fit. I like these wheels a lot. I decided that 17" was a bit larger than I wanted to go on my car so I opted for 16s.
