hi all! :tup:

gale- thanks for asking. im not completely done but i did all the knobs that have come in so far.... all 14 of them. :D tomorrow im expecting the door stops to come in followed by a couple more knobs (levers) that were on backorder by early next week. :) i need to spray paint the frame door 'catch?' side cause my house came with these round ones recessed in the door frame vs the square that came with my schlage knobs. :icon14: but it should turn out nice. :p

looks like t-storms rest of the week so going to rest a little bit to prep myself for the Fit's wheel swap to summers on Sat. it's still riding snow tires in 80F. lol :ugh2:

Z wise... no action, but i think i need to lower psi a little bit now that temps are rising. :tup:

Let me know if you are considering it. I have the swifts and got a nice alignment without any problems. I'll take you for a drive if you want to get an idea for the ride quality.

In fact, if IIRC the Swift's spring rates at the top are very nearly OEM, until you really get on 'em in the twisties.

Mr. Happy speaks truth. Swift/Koni, though -- hoo hoo.

Yeah, Swift/Konis is the Cadillac of setups. The Koni Yellows on their softest setting are nearly OEM, aren't they Mr. Onzedge?

I think they are maybe a bit stiffer than OEM. I am running mine in the middle for the rears and a bit tighter in the front. I have about 240 miles with this setting and will go another 200 or so before I decide whether to adjust them (after they settle). They are a bit stiff right now.

It all depends on what's acceptable to you as far as alignment results go.
The -2.8 camber I got with my Swifts is great for track time and autocross, but not so great for straight line driving, so I went with the camber kit. The camber kit and toe bolts cost about what a fancy shift knob does and if it gets me more mileage out of my RE-11's, then it's money well spent.

I agree. I think you have to do at least the rear camber arms when installing the Swifts.

:tiphat:Hi guys.

Well, its 8:20pm and I have not started installing the sways so I think that project will have to wait until another day. I did finish up the exhaust last night though. The car is still up on jack stands so I don't have any impressions to provide as of this point. I am going to go ahead and take it down in a bit and take her out. I will report back later. I took some late night garage pics of the installed exhuast but they did not turn out very good. I will post them up later on after go test her out.

Fire 03-21-2012 10:26 PM

Looking forward to the pics.
