Ludacris

Well just lowered my Fit with coil overs. Rides great!!! The only thing I am waiting on is the camber bolts and finish the Mugen Kit.

Very sharp looking... The bumper would probably last about a week with the speed bumps and deep dips in pavement here!

But, I've got to ask. Ludacris... Did you name the car after the musician? Or did you mean "look at my car, it's ludicrous (causing laughter because of absurdity; provoking or deserving derision; ridiculous; laughable)

I love the dark, flat finished wheels with a chrome or body colored trim-ring. It's looked good on Porsches for decades, and I'm glad to see it replacing the ginourmous chrome look.

Perfect stance. To be honest I wouldn't drop it lower, especially with the Mugen kit. I swear that orange color is all or nothing with these cars. Either someone does it totally right and the wheels/drop sets it off, or the orange just looks akward.

Props man.

I haven't been on the boards in awhile.

Looks great. I still have mine in the shed. lol

Couple questions:

What coils did you end up with?
I'm guessing those are 215/35/18s?

This is it... because I can only drive it straight for now until I mod my fenders more.

it's ludicrous (causing laughter because of absurdity; provoking or deserving derision; ridiculous; laughable)

Thanks but the Mugen kit will be fine lowered due to the fact it is not Carbon or FRP. It probably will be missing paint.

What coils did you end up with? Function and Form and let me tell you they are garbage.

I'm guessing those are 215/35/18s? Yes they are

Garbage as in horrible. The pre load was supposed to come set from factory, which it did not. Since there were no specs in the instructions I had to call Function and Form. This is not an easy task when you have to adjust the pre load when the coilovers are on the car. Measure Measure measure. I find it easier when they are off the car. The paint was chipped on the front shocks and in Miami that is going to lead to rust. So I am going to need to touch up all the chips so they don't rust. I think out of all the coil over system I have ever owned these have given me a headache.

I wanted something easy, I had an appointment to corner balance the car this past Sat, but had to miss it due to the fact I had to redo the preload. Now I have to wait 2 weeks.

I wish I would have been patient enough to buy a better set of coil overs. Due to the fact Honda Tuning said they were great, I went ahead and ordered them.

So overall I wish I would have gone with a JIC, HKS, or Buddy club. I had JIC Magic on my first S2000 and they were great.
