So decided to purchase the Koni Orange STR.T to complement the H&R springs. Will have to wait another week for their arrival and installation.
Also ordered the following: (cant seem to get my mind off of my Fit Spirited Tune lol)
-Hasport Rear Engine Mount (U70A)
-TechnaFit SS Brake Lines
-EBC Green Stuff front pads
I think I saw somewhere that Brembo makes brake shoes for our car. I'll have to research again.
Sorry for lack of pictures, but would like to share the finished product once lowered.
My goal for the car is for 'Spirited Commuting Driving' (Occasional canyon carving, Getting ahead of the dreaded i880/i680 communte [Oakland > n < Fremont]
Btw, its rare to see other hopped up GKs in the bay area for some reason. Where you all at?!

that dropped pict looks so much nicer, congrats.
you can probably do 10mm spacers in the back if you want to flush that up, but then you might feel a tad bit of understeer so might want to add more camber up front.
also id suggest running shorter profile tires next time to change the gear ratio. should give you a nice pickup.

Thanks for the brotherly tip! Ill definately play with some negative camber at the front after throwing on the rear spacers. I too was thinking 10mm will flush it out. Amazon prime here we go again.
