Sorry for the derailment...
Strictly looking at the drop specs and rates, I'd go with the Pro Kits between the two.
I think a mild drop does wonders and I'd be really concerned about bottoming out the rear with the sport lines. They are very soft and a decent drop. That combo could have it dragging butt with passengers or luggage.

Called SWIFT...beginning of the year they're releasing their setup for my car. Guess I'm waiting! =)

I wouldn't touch either of the Eibach springs if those are in fact the rates offered.
I want to autocross at some point.
99% more likely to do it in the Fit than I am in the S2000, I don't want to crunch a piece of fibreglass I spent WAY too much money on.

yah, these pedals are the super basic sparco race pedals so nothing really to see. its all function than form. the diamond plate prevents slippage. i use to run them on previous hondas and wrx and had much success vs fancy ones.

so i got my UA mileage catalog and found a Bose noise cancelling headphone ive tried in the past (QC35) which i liked but not quite as good as my sony's i always carry around on the plane.
wife's going to order it for me using my mileage since i have so much mileage ive not used.
going to use the pair at home.

k on the menu today.. was kinda chilly this am at 20F but the DWS06 handled like a champ as expected. need to pickup some cake on the way home in the GTI but that's pretty much it for today. cked emails at work and should be a smooth sailing day.. i hope
so it looks like i'm going to need to redo the decals i put on my R the other day as it looks crooked even though it is not.
the problem is i placed it parallel with the window sill (on the glass) but due to the forward rake of the car, i looks like i accidentally mounted it on an angle.. looks kinda 
so bought another pair to fix. lol

We are one of them out there. Wife’s driving. Cruise set and rolling for about 5 hours now. So far so good. Dash is reading 41.1mpg on the Golf. Probably getting 37 based on that. It’s the most optimistic mpg meter we’ve had.

picked up the whole cake for my wife and headed home in my GTI. traffic was light too so made for a fun-ish drive.
not sure wat happened but the girl said her boss accidentally made an 8" cake vs the 6" i ordered..but she gave it to me at the 6" price.
i was okay to pay full price since they're like the best of the best j-pastry in the entire USA ive tried but oh well. got a great deal.
