Pics of lowered Fit on stock wheels

Title

Mainly looking for lowered on stock facelifted Sport wheels. I used the search function and only found pics of the pre facelifted wheels.

I can take a picture when I put my stock wheels back on in a couple weeks for winter.

That would be great! I don't have the budget for wheels and suspension so id rather do suspension first

Thanks it looks good! How much of a drop do you have and how is the daily drivability of the car? Im off-put about having a bumpier ride but I heard it only happens when you max out the drop.

Thanks, this is an old pic from a couple years back from when I had a 2" drop with RSR down low springs with stock struts. In my own experience, lowering springs with stock struts to simply put it; kills your struts. The ride quality is ok until you go over some real tough asphalt and you will likely feel everything on the road. Aftermarket spring rates often don't match the stock struts range so it is more prone to bottom out when overworked. Its better to go with a aftermarket spring and strut combo, coil-overs, or airbag suspension when lowering. It really just comes down to preference, budget and the type of ride you are tuning whether it be show, street, or track. However, if you like the soft and smooth ride of stock suspension of daily driving, lowering probably isn't the best route for you. Just my two cents GL with your build.

Here is my car lowered on Swift springs.

Probably one of the taller lowering springs. I am not a huge fan of them, car just too tall for my tastes.
