Lawlz!! So what are you saying Dave? If you post your Fit, then it would raise the bar too high for the rest of us? :P

What do you say bakedcookies? My springs are coming in soon and when I get them installed I'm doing a photoshoot asap so I can update my build thread. Seems like we'll have to double team on Dave LOL

Btw, I'm jaykaying guys. You know I <3 you all

Hey Ken,

Where did you pick up your DF's?
I'm looking for springs in Toronto, but not sure if i've decided on DF's or RSR's yet.

Looks good. When are you getting a different front license plate bracket? That giant plastic monstrosity makes your otherwise great looking car look like someone kicked it in the face.

its only slightly larger than the plate itself, not sure how getting another bracket would help? We have to run front plates in VA and cannot change their size.

I am going to get a JDM ratcheting front bracket to move it off the bumper. I just think the factory plate brackets make the already jacked up lines on the front of the car look that much worse.

some install notes:

  • I was able to drill new post holes for both the front and rear badges and reuse the fasteners.
  • I simplified cutting the rear bumpstops by cutting the dust boot in half, trimming the stops then putting the boots back together with black vinyl patch.
  • While Honda has made it a bitch to get to the front strut tops they did help by making it where you almost don't even need a spring compressor since the threaded section of the strut is so long it handles the compression/decompression, although I still used my compressors just in case.
  • Used camber bolts in the front, but they added very little if any negative camber. But absolutely no rubbing with +43 and 205/50!
The entire spring install took about 2 hours.
