You wouldn't think it makes that big of a difference but it actually does.

I was suprised how it brought the rears in line with the fronts now.

Since we're on the subject, what length are the stock studs on the GE8? I'm gonna go 10mm spacers in the back (creating a +32) but want to do it right with extended studs, ex-nay on the spacers with pre-pressed studs. Want to know what length studs I need to use. Probably go ARP.

Thanks! And does anyone know, when the length of a stud is stated, like for a new set of ARP studs, is the length the overall or is it just the threads?

I believe stock are 36mm, there are tons of 45mm extended studs available which would be perfect for 10mm spacers.

There are kits too if you just want to buy the spacers and studs together but you might be able to piece together a "custom package" for cheaper online.

Just installed clazzio leather seat covers. I was Mia from this forum for a while since my sister took my 2010 fit but just got a 2013 fit. Gotta organize another NorCal fit meet soon!

Just returned from the dealer. I was told that a cabin filter installation requires that my dashboard be dropped so unfortunately I actually trusted the customer service rep and $90 later I realized that I could've done the job myself for $25 with a NAPA gold filter.....FML!

^^^ HOLY SHIT! You should go back and raise hell and tell them to their stupid faces that they lied right to yours (minus the stupid part of course). Can get a replacement filter for under $20 online. Also the most minor of requirements for your car. I drove without a cabin filter for months...not a big deal.

@Meatbaby, I'm writing to corporate right now. It really is disgusting. Sad thing is that it's not like I'm inexperienced with cars either. Let's see what happens

Dropping the dash out? How assinine! Even if that's what they thought they'd have to do before hand they should have told you afterwards that they were wrong. but now that I think about it, parts plus labor for just taking out the glove box and replacing the filter, 90 bucks might just be what they would charge anyway. It is a dealer after all :/
