spoon springs installed!!!~
I had my fit sport lowered today with spoon springs. The ride seems smooth.
seems like i need an alignment done, i need to turn the steering to the right abit for me to go straight.
lowered to 1 finger gap at the front and about 2 at the back.
Front:
Rear:
Side:
Last shot:

nice, matches the colour of the car, they are mor expensive than T1-R right?
I guess you didn't read the owners manual, the specs are in there

I started to worry about rubbing when hard cornering, esp the front. It's not alot of wheel gap there

Looking good! And if the price is what you mention, seems reasonable if you include shipping and whatever other expenses (it's ¥29400 or $252 on Spoons website - as of 8/14/06). And the color would match well with both VBP and TW Fits

got the alignment done today. Honestly, it doesn't relee need it. Most angles are with specs (except 1 of the front and rear toes). I guess some of you wants the specs too. Here it is:
After lowering:
Front Camber:
(L) -0.3
(R) -0.8
Front Toe:
(L) -0.05
(R) -0.45*
Rear Camber:
(L) -1.7
(R) -1.8
Rear Toe:
(L) +0.45*
(R) +0.05
Honda Specs:
Front Camber
-1.0 to 1.0 (both sides)
Front Toe:
-0.15 to 0.15 (both sides)
Rear Camber:
-2.0 to 0 (both sides)
Rear Toe:
0.0 to 0.2 (both sides)
*=off
they adjusted the front camber to -0.3 and front toes to 0.00. that's all they've done. 15 mins job.
dun bother doing a 4 wheel alignment, the rear are not adjustable anyway.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the comments!!!~
you are right. The rear is slightly higher than the front
The ride is smooth. No signs of rubbing, even tho i put 5mm spacers at the rear and 3mm in the front. My mom/gf did not complain (yet). So i guess they are acceptable (comfort wise)
lowering give it more camber actually. negative camber mean the wheel will look like / \, positive means \ / if you look from behind.

but is the rear riding a little higher than the front again like my T1R or if it is just my eyes?
