I havent forgotten about this. I received 1 quote, it was high, waiting for another. Remember this kit has 4 pieces
As soon as I have something, you'll be the informed
btw, now that the rotor/pads are bedded the brakes are like throwing out the anchor.

I have another Fit Sport (10) stock rear drums, one has to press a little further to get the same engagement....In other words when I switch from the 10 to the 09 with the rear disc, the 09 responds faster, so thats why I said its like throwing out the anchor

why

why not just get all the parts from Mexico since their fit has rear disk? Seems like a much simpler solution.

Nice catch--I just assumed that the Fit in Mexico was the same as the US model but I read the tech specs and you're right--Frenos de disco en las cuatro ruedas (disk brakes on the 4 wheels).

I know you got a price for the rear brake lights, did you happen to get a price on these parts below too?

3) Right rear caliper assy, P/N 43018-TFO-000

7) Rear Trailing arm assy, P/N 42100-TFO-N05
It was brought up on the boards a few years ago about sourcing parts from Mexico, depending on pricing it might really make this worth it.
