If the Konis are shorter than the stock rear struts than you should be able to go lower in the rear. Looks great man!

 

Yup they are shorter but seem to be on backorder everywhere. So looks like I will be waiting a bit.




Just got a killer deal on some new wheels.



Probably gonna go with white centers and polished lips.

 

Yesssssssssssssssssss. <3

 

Are those the one that have two different color faces? If so great pick up

 

Shocks have shipped. Wheels have arrived. Fenders being rolled sometime next week.


So the last owner had some different taste to say the least. He sprayed them trying to figure out a color combo.



So I put some work in and this is where I'm at



Doing this is a pain in the ass but its gonna be worth it.

 

What is the specs on the wheels?

 

SSR MKIII 15x7 +26

 

Wait, so what is your suspension setup?

 

not trying to be rude but read ....

 

Threw the one white wheel infront of the car to get an idea of how it would look

 

haha awesome! this is gonna look rad once all together

 

Nice, has a weird Shakotan feel with those wheels on it. Real nice

 

Stripped and ready to be painted



Test fit on the rear because the front needs a 10mm spacer or so



The bracket that is most likely going to be removed. 3.6in lower here I come



Gonna result in some sweet rim tuckage

 

what konis are you getting for the rear?

 

The yellows that are for a Saab 900 NG (94-98)

The Monroe air shock that people use on the Fit is from a J-body (82-94). The J-body guys use the Saab Konis for their rear. So I figured I'd give it a shot. Worst case I chop the stock mount off and weld it on the Koni. The stock ones are an inch longer but compress to be an inch shorter.

 

interesting!

 

Excited to see the outcome of this! I love bagged Fits!

 

I'm trying to do something similar with koni yellows but i plan on running ground control sleeves

 

So I made a mock up spacer out of 1/2in mdf

It measures about 13mm thick



I now have clearance



A whole 7.55mm



So a 10mm spacer should leave 4.55mm of space which is enough. I guess I'm gonna order those along with extended studs. I really dont want to take the hub off and get new bearings pressed in

 

what is the offset of the wheels?

also, let me know how the koni shocks work

if the lower mounts dont work, what are you going to do?
