softer front suspension will help reduce understeer
but then you get too much body roll and with the weight of the turbo stuff at the very front, you don't want that. Stiff rates are kind of necessary but with a smaller front sway bar the wheels can articulate more on their own and allow the tires to search out the most grip. It's a delicate balance. I have the stock front bar on with adjustable endlinks and poly bushings, I might even try doing some events this year with the front bar completely detached since I now have 10k springs up front.
10k.
Child please.
No 16k no lyfe.
:p
what are your spring rates cody?
On the Fit? No idea, w/e Tein springs are, too low for sure.
Integra = 12/10
Civic = 16/14
good lord man. too much for a DD
Dead serious, that car is easily the one I found most comfortable.
Seats were supportive, ergonomics were perfect, suspension was firm but not bouncy and god did it just feel right.
Fit is least comfortable car I've owned.
washed my POS

Front stock sway bar slightly preloaded with adjustable endlinks
Rear Big sway bar no preload.
Time for some fun.
so, replacement clutch fork came in, also replaced the bleeder on my slave cylinder with an M10x1.0 speed bleeder, makes bleeding an easy 1 man job, I have a spare one in case anyon wants to buy it. Already replaced all 8 bleeders on the brembo so this was the last step for ease of maintenance. Tranny goes back in tonight.
sound clip of my Greddy exhaust from a few weeks back before it got taken off for the 3inch turbo back with magnaflow and blast pipes, my friend video taped it upside down :( I'm gonna miss how quiet it was but can't wait to get back in town and get clips of the 3 inch turboback.

No kidding, I'm still trying to shut him up, I already have 2 ebay and one aftermarket resonator, I'll look into a vibrant ultra quiet res or a 6" round magnaflow to act as a resonator if I can get them to fit..
honestly, for a quiet DD exhaust I would do something like the GReddy SE with a stock evo downpipe. Idk if you have a downpipe yet but I still have my downpipe and custom test pipe that will bolt any evo downpipe to a galant catback that I will sell you for cheap, has all the hangers modified to bolt up to the stock galant location and will clear everything no problem, even has extra O2 bungs welded in. when I floor it inside the car all i hear is the spool of the turbo, induction noise, and the bypass valve when I let off, the exhaust is so quiet that I can do a 3rd gear pull with the windows down and have a pleasant conversation with my girlfriend about how I'm driving too fast.
I'm beyond that phase in my build, my post was referring to the 3" turboback with magnaflow muffler, I have the "same" but with 3 res and the magnaflow and still looking to add something to reduce the volume, the sound of mine is a reeeeaally low frequency, maybe I'm just asking to much for a 3" to be quiet lol
Here's on you all might be interested in http://shop.zzperformance.com/store/...Resonator.aspx I posted videos of one on a cobalt who had a magnaflow resonator at first I think..the zzp made a world of difference. The only issue would be the size of it I guess, I'd imagine the vibrant is shorter. Btw the vids of the cobalt, I posted in the what you did/bought today thread if I recall correct
3 turboback Picked up 500-700 rpms of faster spool, 2 psi more of boost up top, and the sound is perfect, only photo so far, will have sound clips soon. still quiet at cruse but really throaty and loud when I let it rip. I love the way it sits in the bumper now.

cold start and some free revs to about 4-5k, sounds even better under load, no drone on the freeway @ 75mph. I'll try to get a drive by video tonight.
Sounds spectacular Martin! Makes me truly want a 3". I should have my 2.5" straight pipe done by Tuesday so people can compare the sound.
damn. That sounds really good
