spoon shocks and spring

hi, i bought a set of the Spoon shocks and spring for my '08 USDM fit, i heard there has to be some modification to be made to the shocks in order to fit into the Fit, so does anyone know what is the modification, and how much it will lower the ride? thx

If the suspension are purchased from a Spoon North American dealer, it should be pre-modded. If not, you will need to drill the holes to fit a 19mm bolt thru. If you have the right drill bit, it could be done in 10 mins.
