help

I just bought a fit, it's my first car so I'm new with this. I was told that I need to get my fenders rolled and pulled before I get bags. I was also wondering where I can get quality bags for around $800

why would you need your fenders rolled and pulled? Are you going to be running a wide and low offset wheels?

Just the bags or the whole system?

@MNfit I do not plan on running a wide and low offset wheels. I was told by a friend that if I get bags its something I would need to do.
@Wanderer I'm looking for the whole system I'm new at this so I don't know that much

I don't think you're going to get a quality system for $800. I've shopped prices before and for everything it looks about 2x that or more.

I have no direct experience though and no "hookups" so i'm not saying it can't be done. Just trying to add something since nobody really responded.

Thank you I appreciate it. I'm actually reconsidering getting bags. I've heard the ride is much smoother on coil overs

It all depends on what type you get and stuff. You're not going to find a kit for $800, and if you save a little bit more, you're better off purchasing some coilovers. Plus for bags, you need a coilover system to be able to run them anyways. If you're not going to run wider wheels and low offsets, then you don't need to roll or pull fenders. If you're going to run low offsets and wider wheels, then I recommend rolling them. Any reputable shop with a roller can do it. PM me if you have anymore questions. I drive an 07 Fit and have been doing the suspension/rim thing before all of these kids jumped on the bandwagon. I'm on my third set of coilovers as well.

The price range you have set it more for coilovers we can provide you with a coilover set up for about that price. Air bags have a lot more that go into them so lowest price we offer a kit for is $2700 for a complete basic kit.
