Once word gets out that we have the kit and there is more demand for it they may start mass producing it.
My bet is that THAT will be the case- they will make more after we spread the word, then raise the retail price to a comfortable level and continue to sell them on their web site that we happy fitfreaks send other freaks to visit.

Also, what about shipping? Rotors, pads and calipers are not light. How much will shipping be as that is going to be a factor as well.

I don't mean to crap on what you're doing as I fully appreciate how you are helping the community out by arranging all of this, but these are some questions that I think need to be answered before I plan to put any money down on this item.
I respectfully disagree. Any rear disc conversion for under 1K is a bargain, especially from an established name brand like Skunk2. Sure, if they tried to double the suggested price, you just send them a polite cancellation, then call your credit card issuer and dispute the charges. Keeping in mind that they have CALLED YOU to explain the price and other details as they ask for the deposit. Any change after you have entered the agreement is fraud, and you have all the legal protection in the world.

Tyler,
No sweat. Nothing is a bargain if you can't afford it. There are other, less expensive things that will have as much or more benefit to your Fit, like the Progress sway bar.

If you can swing it with your budget, buy both at the same time. It will be easier to mount the sway bar if you take off the stock exhaust first, do the sway bar, and last step bolt up the Megan muffler. All while the back of the car is up on jack stands.

what kind of skill is needed to install something like this? are there instructions? would shipping to canada cost as much as the kit itself? :P
