I don't mind the stock height. I don't like crawling up and down driveways at weird angles or slowing down for every bump on the road and having to worry about messing up my paint job or leaving my oil pan behind.

Yah, if you have stock wheels the car looks fine. The swifts on my car only lowers a tad so I've not had to use the weird angle approach. And stiffness isn't harsh at all.

Never really gave it much thought. Had the Subie-ru handle way before I had the Fit (1st Honda ever). Besides my Rex ('02) is still very able and willing.

So the next obvious question is - why didn't you go Fedex or UPS?

wish i could.... didn't have a choice as it was vendor selected free shipping. the harnesses are like $12 combined (antenna and main wires) so didnt feel likes pending $15 to overnight it on fedex.

it's still too cold outside to do the install so not in a huge rush, but i need them harnesses...

wow, that sucks. hope they find it for ya.

it really depends on the person handling your package for sure. like my regular mail man is cool, but when a substitute comes, he literally throws our package onto the porch. i know cause my house has ip cameras all around and it's on dvr. nothing was broken inside so didnt file a complaint, but if they did.... well, they will be hearing AND SEEING from me. lol

been reading some confusing about the wiring harness between the orange and orange/white wires.

on my pioneer HU, there's only one orange/white wire for illumination. im planning on connecting this to the orange wire on the scosche wiring harness. im thinking this is correct?

still have time since the harness aint here yet! f-king usps
