Unlike you west coasters, its hard for me to drop it roads here suck lol

It will be getting ~100 lbs of stereo equipment to help drop the back a inch or so, should help the stance, cant drop far on the front or it will rub

Wheels look nice, though I'm not too sure I like the bright gold on BOM. Bronze works well with it but the gold may be too bright.

I'm in the same boat as you about suspension though, especially being up here in CT. But the Eibach Pro kit only drops 1.6/1.2 which isn't too aggressive so that may be the route to go.

yea its actually not as bright as it shows in the pics, the picture with the large amount of glare is about how they really look in person

I think the gold looks pretty good on BOM. Too bad your're not gonna drop it, that would totally set it off!

I like it! And same here on slamming. It would look great, but the frost heaves and deterioration snow plowing cause made me rule out dropping mine. I still have stock rims, and will probably get a custom set at some point, but I'm not going to drop mine either.

Take the rims off and have them color matched to the car. Head-turner For Sure!

What about just dropping it a bit on GF210's? The difference in handling is amazing and I had absolutely no problem driving in New England all winter.

Sorry, but I don't think that 100lbs of stereo equipment in the back is going to help at all. There is already considerably more wheel gap in the front than in the back. With the back lower and the front the same height, your Fit will look like it is ass-dragging across town.

I dunno man, I really hate changing anything on the car as I take it on alot of long trips and want it to be as reliable as possible.

nice CF Cover. i actually like the way your wheels look on the car. I agree with everyone else though when they say you should drop your car. Oh well way to represent the BOM fits
