Please don't cut your springs. If you cut them you'll be sorry.
1) it'll ruin you suspension
2) if you ever want to sell or trade it'll be impossible to go back without having to buy all new springs or giving away your coils/springs
Just save up and do it right

agreed. even if the car looks great afterwards...i still say no.

is there not a big group of people who mod hondas that put all their emphasis on looks?....what are they called again?(some type of grain....)

anywho, the wheels are cool, very different.

Me no likey. Yeah, I've gone all jdm on my da but those rims look like modern 5 spoke rims from the 90's. DON'T DO IT!! It will ruin your Fit just like chopping your springs.

If hes slammed.... If not itll look like a base Fit with wheels.
Also tires sizes play a big role, 14's and 13's SUCK when it comes to tire sizes. Theres only one or 2 companies that make decent sizes.

I wouldnt put them on until you got the coils.

I love the wheels. They dont like JDM to me, more Euro than anything as its a common style in Borbet wheels.

Whats the full size and offset on the wheels?
If its decent Id buy them off you. I know I could pull them off.

What I love about them is the thick 5 spoke and full face. They wont look like 14's with a nice tire size.

I only cut the rears on my old T1R springs. It was 2 coils.
It depends on how many coils you cut to determine itll "RUIN" your Fit.

Theres a few people on here with cut springs all around.
