Eibach Pro-Kit Installed
Just wanted to share pictures for anyone thinking about lowering their Fit. I installed the Eibach Pro-kit in about 2 hours. The install was simple and I like the results.
The ride is harder than stock but it doesn't bounce around and does not bother me. Handling is noticeably better.

That was true, but I caved and put them back on. I ended up rolling the fenders to deal with the rubbing and sucked up the 10 mpg. I also just moved to the Midwest where it is flat so my average mpg is now at 41.

The best mpg I get is from my white Sparco wheels they are 15x6. With winter tires on them. I was averaging 45 mpg with them in my old house. I’ll have to update when I switch for winter.

Since others have asked. I now have 60,000 miles on the springs. The front struts were replaced by Honda under warranty just before I put the springs on. With stock wheels this setup is perfect. They give the car a nice look, sharp response, and are not too harsh. When I switched to the Enkei RPF1 wheels (17x7 43 offset) I encountered some rubbing issues in the front. I ended up rolling the front fenders to take care of the rubbing issue. Since then I have not had any major issues. The camber is off at the rear and you cannot do anything about it. It’s not terrible but the insides of your tires will wear first. I have had five adult males in the car and not had issues bottoming out. Nothing has come loose. I torqued everything when I installed and checked again 100 miles in. Bottom line would I do it again? Yes. Would I recommend it to others? Yes.

the car is just over 100,000 miles and the rear shocks are original. There is no banging or play in the suspension both front or rear.

Terrific personal feedback for this forum.
Nothing beats first hand experience!!!!
KUDOS for breaking it up further with three different wheels sizes.
Definitely a project for my GK LX in 2019.

reasons for edit: it’s 10:40 I just got home from a 14 hour day of work and should be sleeping so my brain made some mistakes. There are probably more.
