yeah 15x7 +25 im about this height. front end is a tad bit higher but i havent gotten to adjust it yet because of the tedious process. At work | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

The rear is about the same as in the picture maybe even lower. -_- im gonna raise the rear probably about half an inch.

Sucks that the rears are rubbing. 205/50 is optimum for cornering, but the way I see it, you have two options.

1. Keep the 205/50s and just raise the ride height a little bit.

2. Go with the 195/50s so you can still be at your current height.

Happy New Years to everyone!

Tho I'm not as happy cause I rear ended someone today.
Briefly: I was going ~25mph on a clear afternoon, stood on the brakes, and the car initially slowed a lot but the second ABS kicked - it never stopped kicking in - the car began to skip and hop away (dramatically increasing braking distance) till I hit the car in front of me.

I want to ask my fellow Fit Freaks if any of you - who still have your stock brake set-up - have experienced premature and prolonged ABS activation, especially at lower speeds. I have frequently found that while even applying light brake pressure, my ABS will activate while going over potholes or driving up onto drive ways.
I have found a handfull of postings on Edmunds with individuals complaining about the ABS system - some who describe exactly what has happened to me today and on some previous occasions too (except there were no collisions).

Honda Fit Brake Questions - Car Forums - Edmunds

Thanks for any feedback.

Can anyone chime in on this?

I was driving down from Northern California back down South for roughly a few hours (4-5) and at some point I noticed that my Side Airbag Off light on my dash went off for around 2 seconds.

I've had that occur to me over the years. Typically it's because someone is leaning on the door/side of the vehicle. Once they move it shut off. I think it's to prevent the deployment of the side curtain and side airbags if there is someone in the way of the deployment (which would likely further injure the individual in an accident).

That's something I can ask Honda.
