yea tein has EDFC so u can adjust the damping remotely. I thought basics dont give u damping adjustibility and just adj ride height...TEIN USA | PRODUCTS | TYPE BASIC DAMPER

Nevertheless, the drop looks good!

Thanks to everyone for the kind words, I draw a lot of my inspiration from the work most of you have already done to your Fits

any idea how much lower they go?

Looking good.

I too own a VBP and was debating on going with this set up or some Eibach lowering springs. Of course after seeing this, I'm set on the Basic Dampers.

Now 3 fingers is about an 1.5-2" drop, have you had a lot scraping issues with that lowered ride height? Also, how has the ride quality been changed?
