What did you do to the GD Fit today?

Nice, enjoy them.
A little tip to help adjust those dampers consistently... start with the adjustment screw at FULL stiff, then soften to your preference. These WILL NOT stop spinning once you go dull soft.

So I had a complete FUCKED weekend with my parts. First I attempted to install my Innovative motor mount only to find out that they didn't line up. Totally bullshit.
Second I opened my Whiteline hardware bag for my new rear sway bar to find that they shorted me on hardware. I could easily match nuts but the spacers are unique. WTF!

Thanks for the advice. I had them 5 turns soft on the drive home yesterday, too soft. At autox I turned the fronts 2 from full stiff and the rears 1 turn. I didn't adjust at all during runs, just wanted to get a feel for everything before playing around. I won STF, not bad for not driving for 2 years. The competition wasn't very good though.

Anything past 2.5 turns from stiff is like riding on a couch for me. haha
What springs are you running?

That really sucks to hear about both mishaps on your parts. I hope they get sorted soon.

I see... give your Tokicos a good 500 mile drive to break in, toe the front axle out a little, then try my damper settings. With the spring rates that the Swifts have, the car should rotate nicely and toeing the front out just a smidgen will help make that GD a bit more eager to change direction.

I have to call Whiteline tomorrow and have them send new hardware. I'll be calling innovative as well to bitch about this.
They those are SOFT. I just redid the suspension 2 weeks ago on the Fit myself. I run on coil overs though compared a strut/spring combo. I am now running 10K (560lbs) front and 14K (784lbs) rear for my spring rates. The fronts are ran softer then the rear. I just bought the Whiteline rear sway in hopes that it helps stiffen the rear more. There needs to be more rotation and i'm hoping the new bar, toe adjustment, and height adjustment help. I'll be finding out over the weekend.

I'm aware. I'm unwilling to go any further, the roads here suck, it's my DD and I still need to load kayaks on it and go on dirt roads. If I scored a second car to drive I'd be happy to go for some Redshift coilovers with proper autox spring rates, but unfortunately I need to stay dual purpose. Even with the Swift springs the car felt vastly improved with the Tokico's. Honestly I wasn't expecting them to feel as good as they do, they aren't Koni's but they feel good.

yeah....i love the look of this spoiler. Mine is actually the VIS Carbon Fiber Spoon style spoiler. I got this one used for $150 already paint NHP. I couldn't pass up the deal. I think the previous owner is a member on here too.
Thank you. It's not quit where I want it to be, but I can't complain.
Yes, I must agree. These wheels were previously on a Miata. One of my favorite wheels too.
Im lowered on D2 Coilovers. The ride quality is awesome, but the brake line and ABS brackets are terribly designed. One of the worst designs i've seen. I had to get creative and re-purpose the brackets.

I was eyeballing those wheels a few weeks ago. Don't be stingy with the pics

PLUS... The GD NEEDS to get waxed and polished up soon anyway.n
