but i would imagine you can take out the collars front and back and you can get another ~1" lower, but i and keeping it a bit higher, cause i am going to put my 18" on and dont want it so low and rubbing |
I'm sorry, but this low is how to spoil a beautiful Fit..
|
It depends.. how low r u talking about?
|
2 finger gap fender to tire with a min of 120mm ground clearance.
|
I think it depends on the size of the wheel.. if u hava 2 finger gap on 17s or 18s that's pretty much stock height .. I think lowering the car so the tire is about to tuck so there isn't much gap is fine. But it all depends on the size of the wheel
|
I always stay with a wheel 1" or 2" max above standard for stability reasons. Ask any pro driver.
|
17s look great on a GE and 16s look great on a GD so the 1" above standard is a good thing to keep in mind
|
It's not just looks, but how the car handles.
|
I was just saying its a plus on looks aswell when u go with a rim 1 " higher then stock.. but the way the car handles its the most inportant part
|
yes too low is not good, but i think no wheel gap and maybe tucking a bit is cool, but when its lowered so the control arms are not leveled or even beyond that point then the car will handle poorly, but this is a lowered thread so if you not down with it then thats cool, lots of people like lowered cars

I'm going to put my other wheels on her in a week or two, but I can lower it another 1.5 inches in the front. Gotta love D2's! |

the lowest would tuck a little bit of tire, without modding the coilovers

wow that definatly goes against what the critics say about them.. ive considered getting them but keep running into negative comments and reviews that the shocks blow, the get seized and that the dampening gets messed up and u can adjust them anymore.. ive even seen a pic of a 240 drift car that the the whole coilover snapped
|
All your lowered cars look great, but how about getting them to handle great, too. Lower than 30mm. These do the job !!!
The roll center of a HONDA FIT GE is corrected, special parts that were able to be changed & ideal geometry were done, and remarkable stuff was done this time. The effect of the roll center adjuster were succeeded in the improvement of a further effect to the geometry change by having changed the action corner fulcrum as it was. ?? roll center adjuster ?? The LOWER ARM angle worsens and the position of the roll center has fallen on a Fit that drops height too much. The body center of gravity and the roll center part, the amount of the roll increases, and the cornering force is sacrificed. Moreover, the suspension stroke decreases, too and the limit lowers. The roll center that provide the ideal position by installing J 'S RACING roll center adjuster (The body center of gravity and the distance at the roll center are corrected to a short position), and ideal suspension geometry is achieved. ?? installation effect ?? For instance, because it greatly influences a FIT etc. A full effect is brought to all FIT made understeer regardless of the make. - A decrease in amount of excessive roll by understeer - Ground feeling of tire and improvement of steering wheel information - The steering wheel (reception desk tire) : to a quick response so far. - The cornering force (grip power) is greatly increased. They are indispensable parts that can be used comfortably even on the street though they are special parts that appeared from super-endurance and the attack participation. In the lower postion of FIT doesn't have good condition with the lower arms. It will give high speed cornering to your car. it cause from collection with geometory of lower arm angle. WHAT CAN U FEEL AFTER INSTALLATION ROLL IS GREATLY REDUCED. EVEN if U have 10 strut bars inside also can't beat this 2 little ROLL CENTER ADJUSTER "STABILITY" http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/812...justerkit1.jpg http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/6...justerkit2.jpg |
Where do you pick these up ^^^?

Thanks for the link. I probably could've found that on my own, but I knew it would be in Japanese and thought you might have a direct link. I don't understand Japanese at all, but if I interpreted correctly, these cost $207USD plus whatever shipping is... wonder if aj-racing carries them.
|
$207USD |
Oh that's nice, I didn't see that tucked away in the bottom corner. Thanks for pointing it out. And I don't mind paying for it to be done right, that's for sure.
|
Lots of low riders use them out here and they order direct. By all accounts they correct the problem and easy to install. Maybe call these guys http://www.nengun.com/js-racing/roll-center-adjuster
I think Whiteline make them, too, but not sure about Jazz/Fit GE. |
I didn't see it on nengun's site, and can't find it from the N American dealers.
|
what are these parts:
The right of J 'S RACING GE8 FF roll center adjuster arm ASSY The left of J 'S RACING GE8 FF roll center adjuster arm ASSY Are these needed too to correct roll center? They look to be over 2 bills each on top of the roll center adjuster. |
That's the price you pay if you want to slam your ride more than 20mm. These will correct the roll center to give a stable drive.
The cars look good, but more important, they must drive good. |
The arms which I have, but not yet installed as the Honda Access sussy only lowers 25mm include the RCAs installed. I'll probably still install them as it is not going to hurt anything, but not really necessary until getting to about 35-40mm lower.
|
That's why Honda, Mugen and Modulo springs lower just 20-25mm to prevent problems.

And Swift Sport springs, supposedly.
Correct--exactly the reason that I got them. Just haven't installed them yet. We'll see... I'll post pics up when I get them installed. :hyper: |

I'll post pics up when I get them installed. :hyper: I'm envious. I'm still waiting for my Fit to come in. It's STILL on a dock somewhere in Japan, waiting for the ship to get full before Honda will ship it! Yes, STILL! :( So I'm thinking, maybe by the time mine comes in you will have already had your Swifts installed and have those priceless pics up, huh? :popc: Because of Ben's "AJ Project" thread, I was thinking maybe going with the T1r S-coils instead of the Swifts... only because he said the ride is soft, handles better than stock, but cheaper than the Swift springs. I still want to see what the Swifts look like and how they ride on yours first... but to be honest I'm still partial to the Swift Sports. What's cool is, you'll have already had enough drive time on your stock springs by the time you have the Swifts installed... you will notice the differences better than someone who had them put on almost immediately after buying their ride. You know, looking at your TW in your sig, I thought your Fit was already lowered... seriously. I'll bet it's going to look real good after it really is. I'm sure, since it's your DD, you're like me. You want the drop... but you gotta' have a ride at least as good as stock, if not better. Anyway, thanks for the heads-up. Let me know ASAP after you have them installed... I'm curious about the install charge too. Looking forward to the update, oh, and... ... pics, pics, pics! :D |
Thanks BTW, nice looking ride, MK... great stance. It has that "front-end eating the road" look! :) |

Hey, MK... what size wheels are on your Fit? (not the pic above... the wheels in the photo on your blog) Are they the same size wheels front and rear? The rears actually look larger in your pics. Were you experiencing any rubbing at all with the wheels in the pic on your blog site?
