Looks pretty sick. Like said above how's the rub?

P.S. The NO WAKE picture made me laugh. Don't know why but meh.

How much did you lower the front and back? Did you get stiff springs or shocks so it won't rub? I'm thinking of getting those rims or the black ssr's.

The springs I believe lower the car 1.6" up front and 1.4" in the rear but after settling I believe it will be lower than that! As for the shocks they are stock for now, I have not been able to track down an aftermarket set of shocks/struts. But if Koni makes a set IM GAME, along with if Ground Control makes a set of coilovers!

Nightshift - Do you have your Fit yet? And where are you at in Va Beach, and do you post on DragVA?

Would you get mad if I get the exact same color sport fit with the exact same rims from the tire rack? How do you drive with that thing without rubbing the fenders? And how do you change the offset?

How is it smaller? Going from a 195/55 to a 205/50 = bigger tire. Sidewall stays nearly the same but the width is 10mm wider and I think OEM tires roll inwards more at the tread than what these tires do...

Looks hot, and Functional!

too bad they are gonna stop making the k1's.

What is your camber setup? (btw, any fender rolling? Didnt see your respond to that.)

I didnt roll any of the fenders, I just bent up some of the tabs in the fender so they wouldnt puncture the tires. Im not aware of any camber kits being out yet. So the camber that you see is just from the spring install!
