I regret when I look back at the total, but never any one part.

Lets see.... Snow Tires, RTX Wheels & Tires, Fujita Intake, Mugen Visors, Tanabe Springs, Summer Tires, SK2 shift Knob, SK2 SS, BE C-Pillar bar, Blacked out foggies & Painted housing, N1 Side Skirts, Eye Lids, T1R Full 50S Exhuast, T1R SS brakelines, X3E Brake pads, BE Sway bar, T1R Header....

So really not that much. But adds up so quickly!!!

I have a new project going on in a few months that is about 1K as well, top secret in nature.... I call it Project Sugarphreak (ok, I will be the first to admit it may not be the most original project cover title)

I say who always likes buying milk from the same farmer...sometime the grass is greener from the other cow which make the milk sweeter sometimes.

I have to agree, I probably wouldn't have even got into doing anything to my car (except the summer tires) at all if I hadn't been invited out to a fit meet by another member over at the car wash..... come to think of it... this is all your fault Illusive!!

$2000+....? I think I've spent that on audio upgrades alone. The thing is, it's not about how much money you spend on mods, it's how you make it all come together and turn it into something you're happy about.

I have written a full review on the suspension forum.

My update is as follow.

With the Swift 5kg main/3kg helper spring it feels like a progressive front setup. The rear is still the 6kg spring, which I haven’t switched out yet, and probably won’t.

Ride feels really good, and I just added my 17’s and it’s a little bumpy, but it’s the wheel/tire combo not the suspension, since when I had my Sport stocks it was super smooth.

I have the shocks set @ 3 front and 1 rear but I think I need to bump up both a little since it is too soft, and doesn’t dampen as much as I need for cornering.

Would I recommend this setup? For the price it’s not half bad, but if you need to lower more then 2” front and 1.8” rear, this isn’t the setup for you. The additional springs would run $350-400 more for the typical person. I also went lighter on the spring rate due to myself daily driving a lot (10k miles in 4 months) and So Cali freeways are not in the best condition….710, 110, 405, 5 & 10 freeways. If Cusco or Tanabe made a full aluminum body suspension for the Fit, I’d jump on that in a heart beat, why? Because the Kbee are steel, and not even stainless steel (coated in black) meaning it’s pretty heavy and actually feels heavier then stock.

Another note I’d like to add is for some reason I have to set the suspension on the passenger side higher then the driver side due to something is wrong with my suspension. Either sway bar might be tweaked, something stupid like that, but it’s aligned straight now, so oh well.
