Getting my FIT!

i figured i would introduce myself to this forum. i have owned a 2006 civic SI for the past 2 years, but am trading it in for a 2008 NHBP fit-s this saturday. i got a great deal on teh fit for $15k even. i got some good ideas for this car and have a few grand laying around. hopefully some of you with good knowledge can help me out.

my two choices are to load the fit up with JDm parts and some nice wheels. between the password JDM intake, engine cover, JDM LED tails, 3rd brake light, center console, HID retro, red H badges, SA-90 rims (15x6.5), lowering springs.

or, i could go teh other directiona and get just the kraftwerks supercharger.

i am leaning towards the first option only beacuse i feel the fit isnt desinged to go fast and the supercharger only gets me to 140hp(i think).


anybody with some input, it would be much appreciated. after doing a quick search i could find a good answer about a rear camber kit for the car (is one available?), and what springs will give me teh best drop. not too low, but eliminate some wheel gap, and not too harsh of a ride.

i like the first option as well, you will have a well done fit, clean look! i know you'll miss the power your use to with the si, in the end If you're happy thats all that matters. make sure to keep us posted with the updated with picture ofcourse! welcome to FF.

I also say go the JDM route(if you have and want to spend the money).People say the S.C. is reliably and they have run it for some month's,but I still think if this is your only car,and your not loaded with fund's,just do minor bolt-on's.Plus when you upgrade to something big like a S.C. you really should change alot of stuff/piston's/rod's/fuel injector's/etc...As for your question of adjustable camber's,I think a company called Ingle's/engl's(something along those line's)make them for the front/rear.Welcome aboard and Good Luck with your Fit.

Welcome and Congrats (hopefully not premature on the purchase)

I think the first route seems more reasonable as well....what can I say...
I am such a follower...haaahaa

I just figure might as well enjoy the Fit for more or less what it is and then
start going crazy if you get the itch

Nice color choice BTW!
