proud owner of a newly slammed fit. THANKS FIT FREAKERS!!!

so last night after getting off a twleve hour shift at work i decided the only thing to do was put my skunk2 springs on. and i am lucky enough to say that for some one who has never ever done any sort of suspension work on a car them selves, it took me an hour and forty five minutes and went smooth as butter. if it wasnt for this web site im pretty sure i would have either spent more than $200 to have a shop do it for me. or tried to do it my self and ended up with my axles popping out thus causing a snowball effect of me trying to fix the problem with absolutely no knowledge of what i was doing and in doing so ruining my car completly, so...
THANK YOU FITFREAK.NET

they are coming. i plan on taking a few on my lunch break or when i get off of work. its already so much lower than stock. im so happy! i dont look like a 4x4 any more. if i hadnt put them on any sooner i would have tossed on some mud boggers and hit the trails.

yea i noticed the back to. the back didnt really drop that much. its definitely noticeable in person but it wasnt to dramatic of a drop. the front dropped a good 1.8-2 inches. it gives it this really sick stance. the rear is about a 1 and a half finger gap. i can barely fit a finger in the front. im not sure if they have settled completely but they are deff lower than the night i put them on. im really glad i got the skunk2's i wasnt to sure about them. i kind of just bought them on impulse because of the meet on the 26th and because the guy that had them gave me a stupid deal on them and the exhaust.

i know thats all i really want to do for this month, the tint should be on in a week when i get paid. i wasnt going to tint the windows at first but today i realized that i live in texas and that it can still get stupid hot. i still havent decided on the wheels though. everytime i think i know what i want i see something else and end up wanting that.

lol my thoughts exactly. plus, the fit sport wheels LOOK nice, it's just that the offset is SO high!.

it took me 6 months to pick out wheels. and im ready for a new/different set. only been a month or so.
