Vogtland Springs and Cusco Bars on my USDM Fit
Just got the car back from test fitting some suspension stuff on my Fit.

Thanks to Vogtland Suspension my Fit is now lowered!!!! It looks 10x better.






and thanks to C2Auto for the Cusco Bars

How much clearance under the front lip? I'm thinking of lowering my Fit Sport too (if it ever arrives), but I'm a little concerned about ground clearance since it will be winter driven.

How's the ride quality with the OEM struts?

ground clearance is not too bad. and the ride is better IMO the stock spring rates were too soft, the car has more of a sporty feel now.

the springs are not yet availble to the US market. they used my car for test fit to make sure everything fit with out problem. the springs should be out in a month or so.

The company is still trying to figure out if they're going to modify the springs or not. Otherwise, the springs release will be within 4-5 wks.

I will find out on Monday .
