God no. I can't tackle speed bumps even at an angle any longer. Definitely low life problems. But again, it completely depends how drastic your swift springs will actually compress. We did a stare and compare at Madwi's. His are seriously over an inch higher than mine for whatever reason. OEM suspension, but with swifts installed. Literally identical in every way. Just also take that into consideration.
His springs are still settling it seems. He said he noticed it had dropped a bit at ZDayZ after driving it on the Dragon.

Well that's good. His still looked like a 4x4 when I was at his place. EW's and mine were significantly lower.

Susan and I drove Madwi's Fit. Very comfy car with some weird amenities. Quite, decent power when needed, but very vague steering that had dead input and floaty handling. It was literally identical to driving my old Civic SI. So yea...

Thank you Madwi, it’s actually called the stripper lights. Inspiration from Las Vegas! Lol

Decent power is the one thing it does not have and the sole reason I want to dump it. Some different wheels and tires will help the floaty feeling. Of course the steering is dead. Can't expect much. To say a Fit handles like an old Civic SI is more of a compliment I think.

The car was very rarely driven after the spring install. In fact, it sat almost all of last year. It did in fact settle a bit while at zdayz. I was thinking that maybe that pop we heard pulling out of Killboy was a spring on the back. Not sure but when I looked this morning everything appeared to be in its proper place. Musta been my fat *** sitting on passenger side for once leveled the springs :icon17:

:iagree:
Power and handling? Hahaha, yeah it has none. The game I play in the Fit is trying to see if I can get better gas mileage today. Not because I care about gas prices but because it is a basic commuter car getting me to work and i'm bored :icon17: I actually forget there is a Sport mode and that the save the world hippy button (eco mode) can be turned off. :icon17:

Dont count on that. For some reason they wouldnt let me register for next year while I was there.

Every time you post your sweet ride, at a quick glance I think it's mine! 2 magma red Z cars is a little too awesome for 1 forum!
