I had them on a former Integra. They were a pretty agressive drop and I had them mated with KYB AGX. It was a great street/auto x combo.

If I was looking to do the same with my Fit I would definitely consider them.

This is the DF210 Max lowering, but came in a NF210 box???!??!?! DF was slammed. they had to redo the springs cuz the US car was heavier then jdm spec car. But we got a trade for the GF210 now, they are really good for daily use. not as low as I wanted it but very nicer ride then the DF.

as you see on the box, its the NF210(Normal Feel)

The Tanabe springs will be out sometime next month, although the Vogtland springs are available NOW. If anybody is interested on the Vogtland springs PM me, will direct you to somebody that has them in-stock.

Well I am not going to make this a DIY or How To because these are just like all the others when swapping springs... but I will say that I lost some blood due to a sharp *** spring and stupidity on my behalf... thought that maybe the fronts were gonna be too large and rub but everything worked out fine and here are some shots of the springs being installed and after shots as well.

Thanks to the man whom got me my stuff with lightning speed and I am happy as can be with the ride and look.

Enjoy...








and then...

Get a coilover instead of those lowering springs. I am using a TEIN SuperWagon coilover and it made my ride better.

I was actually part of Tanabe's R&D of these springs (GF210 & maybe DF210). I dropped my car off here in Torrance since there local yesterday I wasnt sure what springs they were gonna put on and test but I do know they used 2 sets. So when I picked up my car they told me that I'm the first to have the final GF210 and should be relased very soon. I dont have any pix yet but I'll try to get some today after work or maybe the rep for Tanabe might post some.

DId they also test fit your car with the DF210's? Wondering about how much lower they will be. Looks GREAT though! Tell us about the handling on stock struts
