is it seriously that easy? I have never replaced studs so I really have no idea what to expect trying to do that!

the rears are a piece of cake. you just smack'em out with a mallet.

Good stuff Chuck! I just wanted my rears flushed, so would a 5mm spacer do? Remember this is with your rims, +40 offset

when i had those on my car i used a 15mm spacer, and rolled the fender. a 5mm should be good for sure. remember that 26mm is an inch...5 mm is almost nothing, lol.

yezzziirrrr.. i just recently purchased my fit only had it a month..but my color is actually ASM (Alabaster Silver Metallic) its a new color introduced to the FIT sport this yr. they no longer offer the SSM for the FIT.. I love it..

I have done a few things so far.. i added OEM window visors, oem door sills, oem cargo cover, oem mud flaps, HID's, brass jollipop shift knob, and Revo short shifter.. im waiting on my jazz coin holder, jdm hazard switch and OEM pedal covers..

I still dunno what i wanna do for wheels.. thats about it as far as what i have planned... now that its lowered im gonna start going out to meets.. lmk if there are any local FIT meets

i've posted some info about my wing somewhere on the site but i can't find it. it wasnt as easy as just bolting it right up and it's taken a lot of trial and error. once i get it to 100% i'll post it up for everyone.

and yes, it's the jdp lip.

I just did the DF210s and I am very happy with them. Just to back other peoples comments on the perfect stance they offer, these springs give a non positive or negative raked stance, its perfect!
