Suspension Pic Thread

so lets see if this works:
post up a side shot and some additional shots that shows your car's suspension/ride height/stance along with the info on your setup:
i would start but i'm on the stock suspension... not much to show...

Springs:
Struts (OEM/Aftermarket):
Coilovers (any special spring rates installed? revalved?):
Wheels (brand, type, diameter, width, offset, weight):
Sway Bars (OEM/Aftermarket):
Braces:
Alignment specs (OEM or custom) (camber bolts/plates?):
Is this your DD? Autox? Road racing? Drag racing?
Impressions? Likes/Dislikes?

coilovers: Skunk2 Pro C
endlinks: PowerGrid custom endlinks (shortened for my skunk2 coilovers, I blew the hell out of the skunk ones and they are garbage so i upgraded.)
special spring rates: Skunk2 special request 12k front, 10k rear.
revalved: Negative. maybe in the future. The Pro C's are supposed to be able to take up to 18K spring rates. Just dont know if they are currently valved for that. probably not. haha. My next upgrade will be some crazy rates from Hyper Coil. Then a re valve.
sways: Progress rear anti sway bar 22mm. stock front.
braces: J's racing Cross bars, Cusco Replica (DME) strut bar (this bar does NOT connect to my struts at all, this physically connects to the chassis above the shock towers under the body paneling. you must remove paneling to install. shit is functional), J's Racing C pillar bar. CAGE COMMING VERY SOON!!! 6 point custom chromoly
alignment specs:
Front L & R: Camber -2.5°, Tow 0°
Rear L & R: Camber -1.8°, Tow 0.17°
camber bolts/plates: I used SPC camber bolts in conjunction with the built on skunk2 oval camber holes. More camber can be achieved also with this setup. My rear has the good old washer trick. Its fine as I have tracked on it on road courses MANY times. Ill get plates when some metal ones are made or something. screw those plastic ones.
is this your dd: ALL DAY BABY! haha second car is eventually in the future.
autox: I have probably 3 times. Really not my thing and im not going to lie, I really SUCK at autoX.
road racing: YES! my fit has seen the road course many times! it is its natural environment ^_^
Here are my only really current pics. Ill get more one i clean it up and it stops raining here.

Here's my current setup.
Skunk2 Springs
Stock shocks / struts
No RSB yet (I heard it had issues when ran with the Skunk2 springs)
Aspec strut tower bar (who cares if it may not do much, looks tight)
Alignment done at Honda Dealer
Driven Daily

^^It's cool. It rides a little stiff for some peoples taste. I like the stance though. I would like to ride in a few Fits with coilovers to feel the difference.

Swift Springs after (7 months later, but you get the idea):
The only straight-on before/after shots that I took:
Spring and mounting shots:

Enjoy!

$88 from Street Racing Life
pretty awesome, comes with 2 brackets to mount in the middle with stock holes. you just need to drill or use the self tapping screws on the sides. if you have a sport model they can go thru the small metal clips.
it comes in black like the first pic, i painted mine myself. using color matching paint from www.automotivetouchup.com (sand it so the paint sticks then 3-4 coats of primer + 4 coats of base color + 3-4 coats of clear)
was a bit of work but the end result was worth it.
