Note the high stock offset required for 07 fits of +55. Friends up here that did a lot (like 6-7 set ups) of experimenting with wheels scratch their heads when they hear of people with +41 offsets not rubbing without bodywork mod's - especially if you're doing something like autox. ie a +38 offset with 205/50/R15 tyres moves the wheel/tyre towards the bodywork by ~32mm. When I have a full car and/or hit larger bumps on corners I rub at +45 (~25mm closer to the bodywork). More info on wheels that have fit without rolling fenders, grinding off clips etc can be found here:

Nothing in 13"s or 14"'s like you're looking for, but who knows. Note the list at the start hasn't been updated for a while and you'll have to run through the thread.

A progress rear sway bar really helps handling. I've also heard of people taking out the FSB (the guys in the Phillipines) and adjusting spring rates to get more balance.

I've also looked at coilovers after getting some opinions on dampers/springs.

The swift springs also look interesting if you don't want to go right to adjustable suspension.

Again the list is a little out of date, so you'll have to look up some of the newer stuff on manufacturer's websites.

The intake's a popular mod since the stock box really does twirl the air around. Note the stock set up is already a cold air intake whereas most of the after-market ones seem to be short ram intakes or variations thereof.

Note: if you get the weapon r race header with the cat delete it puts you into FSP (Sugarphreak in Calgary was there before he parted out) versus the weapon r street header. T1R (A & J) is is supposed to make a pretty good one too. T1r more in the mid rpms, Weapon r lower down (according to manufacturer's sales literature-grain of salt?) J's Racing is supposed to provide the best dyno, but also most expensive (cannot remember where dyno's were)

I've heard the pulley's may not be worth getting (T1R, unorthodox)-hard work, no measurable gain on independent dyno's?

I haven't looked into exhaust (this is my daily driver), but the dyno's on A & J's b pipe and catback threads look interesting.

All the interior bars also seem like they'd work in theory, but decrease my utility/hauling capacity.

I really like the short shifter;

A & J in Richmond also has a fair bit of stuff for the Fit; look for their sales at the end of summer, black Thursday, Xmas, and New Years.

I've heard the Star Specs are best in Canada because they heat up faster and since we don't get the higher temperatures like they do (for the most part) in the southern US. I've only run RE-11's and have been pretty happy with them. It's colder at 1200m elevation though. Not sure if contingencies affect your decision (I'm not competitive-yet).

Here's someone looking at mod or sp;

Don't ship with UPS (they the most expensive and want more at the door) or set up a shipping address across the line for free/discount shipping like other's in Van have done. My sig below has the mod's I've done so far. I need to work on a lower control arm, then maybe-maybe swift springs after a wheel replacement, racing magnetics, and another driving school. Haven't worked out the racing budget this year yet.

I'd also like to get an aftermarket seat that's street touring legal

Have fun, maybe see you at the KSC, Packwood, or CAC Nationals in Ft. MacLeod.
