Hot sums it up!!!

Hey ! they look like Lenso wheels on the front. Well, at least the wheel center is Lenso Raiden. Made in Thailand.

But then 99% of the wheels are made in Thailand, shipped out and re-labled. Sorry they are not Japanese or German.

Your wheels look hot! I know people in the Lenso factory and they make a quality wheel, well at least there own brand is. They also make OEM wheels and other after market brands. All approved.

Just got back from having Eibach pro kit installed...very happy camper. Ride is comparable to factory, not much harsher at all flying down the freeway. Love what it does for appearance. Had the pro kit installed on my 97 civic and you could barely tell it was lowered. Not so with the Fit. Stance is perfect (for my tastes).

Actually, I think the stock suspension on the Fit is pretty good for handling, but the rear sits 25mm higher than the front which doesn't look sporty.

Maybe a perfect solution would be to use the rear springs from an old GD in the New GE which would lower the rear 20mm to balance it out.

I know one person in Thailand who did it and he said it's the easiest way to make the car look better keeping the warranty valid, 3 fingers between tire and fender all round. Just exchange the rear springs 15 minutes.

Cool! Quick and effective way of lowering your rears!
Bet it will affect your handling, gas mileage and performance though.

Question for the GE8s with springs

I have a set of T1r's installed on my GE8 and I notice that I hear a "clunk" noise from the front set of springs whenever I go over speed bumps. The rears are fine but the fronts make the noise. I try to go over speed bumps pretty slow 5-10km/h but anytime I go over them at 15-20km and the noise comes back.

^^ I like that. What springs did you use? In addition, what kind of wheels are those? Size? Offset?
