Sorry, what I meant to ask was if after lowering the Fit had less negative camber than stock. The numbers you gave for the rear camber were -1.7 and -1.8 for lowered, and -2 to 0 for stock (I guess that's where I'm confused about).

if i remember correctly,most honda (fit included) comes with 0 toe in the front, 0.1 toe at the rear. 0 camber in the front and -1 camber at the rear.
The honda spec i gave out is the acceptable ranges.
Hope it clears up.

The drop seems mild, but for some reason the gap in front doesn't seem the same as the gap in the rear. I'm thinking of going with T1R's, specially for the higher rate in the rear springs compared to Spoon.

I'm highly interested. I can't get myself to spend money on full coilovers, but I can't stand the stock ride height. The T1R springs are nice, but I think a little too low, especially if you want to haul stuff around in the back. Thanks for the pics and the info again.
