Hey just got a 2009 fit sport and noticed it looked low I cant fit two fingers in between the wheel and the wheel well is this normal?

 

Neither can I but I am lowered.

Where are you at?

 

 

Thats gotta be lowered. There was almost 3in between my wheel & well on both my 10 & 13. Maybe cut springs or replacements. Give us pics of the suspension plz.

 

Nice stance.. Def lowered

 

 

 

Thanks for the pics, but can you get one one the springs....

best bet is to go under the car from the rear....the springs are easier to see there, especially the left side. If it's red or green then it's aftermarket....if it's back, take a few close pics so we can see if the oem spring were cut....

you would also be experiencing a harsh ride....

Looks aftermarket and beat up to me...

I'm sure there are more than a few members here with stock springs to sell you...

Depending on how long they were on though you may need to get strut replacements as well.

Check rockauto...I used kyb-excels and have been happy with them.

Springs from a member or eBay should run 50-100....I left some behind in NYC, I can reach out to see if they still have them.

A together it might come out to 500 for springs and shocks, maybe a touch less or more if there are other things needing replacement.

 

Other than the rear damper i have all struts & springs with about 15000 miles looking for a home. They can be yours if you cover shipping

 

So just to confirm that there is a high chance if springs replaces with stock it will be raised to stock height?

 

Yup. The damper looks stock so my guess is that it would sit a few inches off the wheels. If i remember correctly you are in Canada so lowered you will be a snow plow.

 

Lol Calgary probably one of the worst areas for snow.

 

I'm in cleveland we only get a few months of kinda deep snow so I dont plow too much

 

I'm in Calgary as well......i'm lowered, with good winter tires you should be ok

I'm on swift springs but from the pictures your Fit is running a slightly more aggressive setup (i.e. even lower than mine).

Just swap out the springs for OEM springs and you'll be back to stock ride height. I have my OEM springs still, but I'm keeping them in case I ever need to go back to stock.

Where did you pick up the Fit from? enjoying it so far?

I have the exact same model, have owned it since new, it's a great car.

 

Looks great man! that being said my red beauty is going to eventually have this problem about how much did it cost with you guys doing the labor?

 

Cost me about 570

Would have been under 500 but I was having a hard time with the rears had it done at a shop and aligned.

You will need an alignment afterwards.
