For those of us on a limited budget...that is the exact amount of the drop on the Swift Springs. I would love to have the Mugen but can't really afford them so I'm happy with my Swift's.

yeah I use to have different wheels. too many people have em' so they are gone. just ordered a new set today actually
and I scrape everywhere I go I have some pretty haggard roads in the area. I need to buy a lip just so I don't keep trashing my bumper(it's about half inch thinner from when I purchased).

Out of all of the so-called "econo-cars" I looked at, I was headed toward the Fit anyway... but your ride and my friend's gave me the hots for one!
I see a lot of Fits here, and a lot of them are nice. But something about that pic of your Fit moving down the road sold me. If I was going to buy a small car, after seeing yours, I had to have a Fit!
Hey man, post pics of the Fit with the new shoes after you get them... when you have time, that is!

Matter of fact... in pics, yours looks slightly lower in the front than in the rear... and that's just fine by me.
The drop on the SSM and the TW in your pics look great!

2" drop is nothing, even on rough roads it should be ok
i have mine lowered and never scrape, been on big speed humps, steep inclines, un-paved roads, construction roads, alignment hoist, you name it,
now 4" drop like jfit317's car there, that will scrape stuff

Lowered it yesterday on Drop Zone $80 springs until coilovers are in the budget. I'm guessing the rear should drop a bit more with use. The ride is not too bad but I do wonder how long the shocks will last. More to do!
