I lowered my 2007 fit today on swift springs today! Here is a before and after pic. The wheels are 949 racing 6ul wheels 15x8 +36 offset. I also put some Brembo Brake rotors and some ceramic pads on it while I was at it.



and here is the after

 

Looks good! Are you still using the stock shocks or did you install new ones while you were at it?

 

Just stock for now, here soon I will throw some nice shocks on it. They have 213,000 miles on them so it will need some soon! LOL But they aren't blown out yet. It only took about 45min to install all 4 lowering springs so I can just do the shocks one day after work.

 

Looks good with the Swifts! If you can find a set some Tokico HTS (also known as Reds or D-Specs) are aGOOD performance shocks with adjustable dampening. I would like to suggest Konis due to available BUT I don't think they make them for the GD3... You might have to check with RedShiftChris if you're interested in a set of those.

If you are looking for performance shocks without dampening adjustment, you might be able to find a set of Tokico Blues on Bean Garage's site for a great price (they price match if you find a better deal too).

Edit: That's a sweet looking shop in the background... Would you happen to be a MINI tech or work at a MINI dealer?

 

^x2

i have tokico hts in the front and the koni yellows in the rear...

i like the 6ul's!

 

Thanks guys!! And yes I am a tech a Mini Cooper.

 

Crap! 45 minutes is great! It took me like 2 days to do mine. But that was because I was doing it myself in my garage in the summer heat of Arizona so I took a lot of breaks. And it didn't help that I installed one of the fronts upside-down and then had to redo that side. I also went with Tokico blues. They're okay, but I would like some dampening adjustment, but we all can't get what we want.

 

Which model of the tokico blues are people going with? I've got a GD lowered on DF210s...
