jgpoirier and ikutoisahobo - No I haven't had any real issues on a 205/50R15. I little bit of inner fender rub on the metal but nothing serious. On the stock wheels its great with that +55 et offset. Today was the first day racing on the Volk's. I noticed I got some wear on the outer shoulder under heavy turns. All I have to do is roll the rear fender and i'll have no issues.

Awesome, thanks for the reply, really helps to hear current reviews from people.


Edit- Volk's look great on there!

Thank you.

Yeah I have the front pretty low and haven't had any issues. The back aren't to low and the only rubbing I got was on the Volk's since the offset is larger.

Here's a good pic that Waizzz took from the OC meet in Cerritos last week. Fresh wax and the Volks that night.

Thanks! This was the first wax job done on the Fit since i've have it. The more I see that there are not many Blackberry Pearl Fits out there the more I appreciate the color.

I'm liking your volks

But on a side note since you like to go to the track, why not get a progress rear sway bar? Heard it will do wonders on your car

I have heard the same. When getting the car set up I should have looked a little further into it. After I dropped a bunch of money into I realized how important that anti-sway bar was. The wife will probably kick my ass if I spend another dollar on the car right now haha.

Next month I'll most likely get the sway bar and also fill the rear bushing to stiffen things up. Curious how that is for the GD. I see a few guys in the GE's are doing it.

That's funny. My wife doesn't understand why certain car parts are so expensive, mainly JDM. I said if its in demand its more money, just like her jewelry.

Leaving the stock seats in for now?

I found the sway bar for $179 including tax and shipping

For now. Plan to upgrade to a race bucket in the near future. The wife DD's the car. I race it only on weekends. So if I put a race bucket in she'll be pissed. She does enough damage scrapping and smashing every curb and pothole.

I plan to get her a vehicle to use towards the end of the year. I use my company car all the time so I let her use the Fit since she doesn't have a vehicle. But a nice TL type S is coming soon. Then the Fit is all in!

I meant your backseats but I'm assuming she needs those for errands?
