Mugen kit or Tanabe DF210s?

So I'm planning on "Mugenizing" my Fit and I know that's going to put a huge hole in my wallet..

But I also wanna lower it with DF210's..so do you guys think I should lower it first or get rid of the big bucks first and go with the kit?

Yes, lower your FiT first, wheels next then body kit.
You can always stop in-between and your ride still looks great.

use the money that you were going to use for the kit and buy coilovers instead of springs - Way better option.

My opinion? Forget the kit. Doesn't do anything for your ride. I'm with danielg - blow the cash for the kit on coilovers instead. Lowering does quite a lot to improve your car's look IMO - and it can either firm up your handling or soften the ride, depending on what you get.

But hey, your money your call.

lower your car first only if you are going to match those springs with shocks or you are doing coilovers.

do it right the first time.

and remember, how ugly someone thinks the mugen kit is is their own opinion, not fact. and you can do little things here and there with the mugens stuff since you dont have to buy it all at once.

Definately get the springs. But then again I hate the mugen kit so that was an easy one for me
