so the previous gen springs fit the '15? That's interesting. Should mean that the same would be true of all the manufacturers, yeah?

Bbig -Wow, that looks awesome! Just curious, on another post you show a pic of the Tein box with part# SKB74-S1B00 on it and the pic above it shows part# SKB74-AUB00.

Just to clarify, part # SKB74-AUB00 are the springs you installed? As Qbrozen mentioned, GE8 springs will fit on the GK5.

Regardless, your car looks great man!

Alignment

Looking great man!!! Just curious if you were able to adjust the front camber to specs with that kit? Any rubbing on hard bumps?

High 5 for the PBP crowd. The GK Fit looks really really good lowered. I second the question above. Any rubbing with the car lowered now?

If the springs fit, would the shocks fit too?

Looks nice, I'm wondering how much your alignment changed. If it did can you get the numbers back to where they should be. Added negative camber will benefit your handling to the detriment of tire wear. What would concern me is, did the toe change by adding toe in or toe out because of the lowering?

I not alignment yet just let spring sit a bit,also i believe you no need to add negative camber I have no rubbing issue too.

I don't think you need to add negative camber or it adjust it at all. You probably should get to an alignment shop sooner than later. If adding the camber gave your Fit more toe in you will eat those tires pretty quickly.
