ahaha i really like the fuel door decal.

whats it sitting on?

 

looking nice!


i want your wheels.

 

On Tein Street Basis

 

Nice inkster! Jookybanana too!

 

Do you guys think a 2in. drop with low pro tires would look ok?? Like a 2 inch drop with 205/40/16

 

Yes, but 195 to be safe.

 

Cuz I'm just scared it would leave a stock looking gap.. haha.. thats why i wanted to go with fat tires.. but my brothers are telling me wheels don't look right with fat ol tires.. -___-" Thanks!! ill try it out..

 

Ever seen F1 wheels and tires? Really fat tires on like 13 or 14" wheels. They do not not look right to me.

 

Thumbs up! People can go ahead and put skinny stretched tires on their lowered daily drivers if they want...enjoy the harshest ride evar!!!!

 

Not meaning to go off topic here but as far as lowering goes; does the front body bottom out easily? I've noticed that stock I've had problems going in and out of certain parking lots in town and the front scrapes slightly. How much worse is it with say.. Ti2000s or T1Rs?

 

I have yet to scrape my actual bumper. The black plastic piece along the bottom scrapes every now and then but nothing other than that. I'm on BuddyClub N+ / much room left to go in the fronts and all the way down in the rears with all collars in and the black rubber spring seat. Rims are 17x7 et43 and tires are 215/40's:

 

@ JAZZdatFIT

apologies for late reply.

Jazzy Jeff is sitting on Cusco Zero-2E, the ride is not that much harder than stock, main reason I went with them. Toss up between Cusco and Silk Road. Handles a whole heap better. Out cornered its older brother (Integra Type R) on a roundabout in the wet last night. I drive on uneven country (gravel) roads sometimes so that is as low as I'll take it to save the chassis. In all am happy with the product but have two disappointing traits (it is mainly the Jazz).

My first concern is that the rear spring seat (top side) has no protective layer, for it is metal to metal interface at the moment. Should there be some barrier to separate the spring and the chassis or is this the normal for all of the Jazz coil-overs?

Secondly, the front dampers are impossible to adjust once the cowling is replaced. It is more of the way the Jazz(Fit) GE8 2012 is designed. I will design an adapter to fit over the adjustment needle when I have some spare time.

The decal is of Simon's cat,

 

 

can i post again?

 

my HKS coilovers on the top spring seat on my rears has no gasket either, its just chassis on spring cup, i think it is normal, its been 2 years and no problems... so far
and for the front damper adjustment (its probably too late now) you could have gone with some inverted mono-tube design where the damper adjustment would be on the bottom of the damper, so all you have to do is turn the wheel a little and stick your hands under the wheel and adjust

by the way, how much lower could you have go with your cusco's?

 

I have Buddy Club N+. For the rear springs I just reused the top and bottom rubber spring seats. My car had those w/ the stock springs. I actually can't find them on Bernardi Parts' diagram, they just show one rubber spring seat for the rears. I had to cut some tabs from the top rubber mount so the spring perches would fit over. I thought this was better than just having the metal spring perches up against the bare metal of the chassis spring seat. Guess you'd be fine w/o the rubber, as Jooky said, plus you could go that much lower not having that extra thickness of the rubber.

Also sucks about the adjustment on the front struts for you. Most cars you'd be able to get to the top of the front shock towers easier than the rears, but the Fit is the other way around, and ridiculously involved to reach those front tops. The Buddy Club's have the damping adjustments on the bottoms of the front struts for this very reason. I assume your brand just puts them on the top of all their struts assuming it's very easy to get to them, like it is on most other cars.

 

where did you get this? or did you get this custom made? hilarious! i want one
