Not too shabby of a start.

Now... when are you going to lower it?

Edit: What are the specs? Wheel size, wheel offset, tire size, etc.

17x7.5 +40 205/40/17

As for lowering, it's my next mod for sure. Still debating between the DF210s and the Swifts.

Who wants some WedSports?

settings all the way down does not mean its the lowest setting. there is also the bottom where it mounts to the knuckle, that can be raised higher.

edit: I looked at a pic, seems that even if you do what I just said, it still doesn't change the problem since the coils and the bottom mount are so close together. You might have to modify the top mount to make it sit better, but I can't say much without actually looking at it. And yes you can remove the perches on the bottom of the coilover's, you don't need 3, but 1 will work.

Alright, who's down for another Fit meet?

I'm thinking about hitting up Track 21 in Houston (featuring an indoor kart track, laser tag, mini golf and arcade) and then grabbing some Freebird's World Burrito afterwards.

Any takers?

I want in on this meet, but the only problem is I've got a very stock GD3 base model.

Don't worry Astro. We were all stock at one time. My Fit is still very much stock. But once that tax refund hits. New wheels, headlight housing, bumper repair and possibly even a drop are imminent!

As for the meet, count me in. But I need to know at least a couple weeks in advance to take off work.
