The vibration has settle just a bit. The vibrations are still very evident during 1st gear engagement. Something to get used to for the average driver. Doesn't bother me a bit.

i ran spc camber bolts on my GE back in the day and the very max i could get out of the bolts was like -1.75 degrees. in your case you're going to need more like -2.25 or more to get the front to tuck in right, or maybe just roll the fender a tad for clearance.

Thanks for sharing! I still have a set of SPC bolts that will finally be put to use! I'm getting all four corners rolled and an alignment next week. I'm also thinking the -1.25 might be more than enough combined with the fenders rolled. Wish I can do something about our toe setting. The shim install is tempting.

Just installed it. The whole dash rattles below 1.5k rpm.
It rattles every single time u press the throttle
In slow traffic u feel like your car is falling apart
But the throttle feels more responsive...

I hope it breaks in after 500 miles!

It'll definitely break in. I have the mount as well.

I'm curious, what's there to roll? The fit doesn't really have a inner lip inside the fender (like other honda). R u more pulling the fender rather than rolling? May I see some close up photos please? Thx

So I decided to go with -1.0 camber in the front, visually not that noticeable but had to consider the tire's tread life since this is still my daily..mind you 60mi round trip commute, but the extra negative camber should suffice for overall driveability and needs.. time to test on the track!!



thanks Auto Innovations, Milpitas!

Now that i think of it, I should have probably gone max. O well, atleast i have peace of mind for daily driving. And car drives better with the new alignment anyways since adding the TE's. Now I just need those dreaded Centric Hub Rings (65mm to 56.1mm). So far Evasive Motorsport has them at $13/pop. Would you happen to know where I can find some cheaper and ships quickly?

And thanks for noticing the damage which the car endured over the holiday...eeek

I am actually grabbing a RS front lip and mugen side skirts from a fellow member, SKatana I believe?

Thanks man! Still want a couple more aesthetic parts other than the ones I just mentioned. I really want the Takeros RS+ Wing in Carbon tho!



??????TAKERO'S/Catalog/HONDA/FIT3

$257 w/ 10 Day shipping from Japan!

I wonder if anyone state side has this on their GK. They offer FRP and Carbon versions. I am going to purchase the FRP version.

those TE’s use tapered lugs right? meaning it is a lug centric design. no need for centering rings. . it just aids your wheel mounting to car. if that was running ball type or washer type lugs then they are hubcentric and require the centering rings if the center bore doesn’t match the hub diameter.

yah that spoiler lip will definitely go with your theme you got going.
