Cheers.
I am just about at 40,000kms on mine, I dropped the springs around 6000kms (I think) & still running stock shocks.

Things I Have:

1) Tanabe GF210 Springs: Perfect 10 out of 10 they improve the handling of the Fit in corners by a huge margin without dropping it down too much; the best mod on my car by far.

2) BE Front sway bar; Gives a nice solid feel in the corners over stock but my only complaint is the Teflon bushings squeak now; would give maybe a 7 out of 10.

3) BE rear C-Pillar Bar; would give a 1 out of 10, I don't think it actually does anything.

4) Rota Circut10 rims; a nice buy for racing, but would only give a 4 out of 10 for actual performance increase. I don't know, going lighter seems like an advantage, but doesn't really yield any real world performance results.

5) Bridgestone RE-11's... also a perfect 10 out of 10... amazing tires that improve the cars performance!

That is pretty much it for my car, if you want the best bang for your buck pick up a set of GF210's & some Bridgestone RE-11s... the rest of the stuff out there will make only minimal improvements.
