I havent felt anything unless on a REALLY big bump. the tires are at 30% or less but i dont think that makes a difference.

Buddy club p1 racing II plus... They're really heavy.. Haha more than the stock ones. Got them for a pretty good deal so can't complain too much. Should I leave it black with polished lip or repaint?

^^ I vote to keep the polished lip.

Here is an updated pic of mine. Sorry I'm on stock rims still. I want to get rims but kind of pointless in winter.

Dave helped me get them from Japan. some others have
RS*R's also but different versions. I think i'm the only one
that has these in the states lol.
Not sure at all how you could get them. Call some places
up and see if they'll special order for you.
The ride is great. That is the whole reason why i got them.
only 10% stiffer with a drop of 1.5" to 1.2"

This is a bit off the topic, but in the US are all the standard OEM GE Fit springs Linear or progressive and will they install either way around?

Honda HFP wheels? I was told that the bolt pattern was slightly different and so they are not an option on the GE's.

Did you have to change anything extra to set those rims up? Those rims were my original plan until I found out that Honda changed the rim set up..

Of course, I could be totally wrong
