Hows the ride quality? Like stock?

The ride quality is pretty good, and obviously the handling is improved. Trust me, you will not be disappointed with these or any other springs out in the market. What it comes down to is this: "What suspension manufacturer do you prefer?"

whats your tire size/rim size?

Any rubbing?

kyeguy82 · #84 (**permalink**) 02-26-2007, 03:43 PM

current tire size: 205/40/16, no rubbing

before: 205/45/16 (Honda recommended this on their HFP wheel), rubbing occured

I have heard many different setups that rub and don't rub. The wheels on the previous page in the pics are 205/45/16 and I never had rubbing once.

I had a 38 offset, and seemed like the perfect fitment. I really think it matters what tire brand and offset you have more than sizes if your between 6 and 7 inch width rims-15 or 16 dia. when it comes to rubbing.

Does anybody have DF210 Tanabe Springs on their Fit? I would like to know how they ride, what your doing for camber, and what they look like if you have any pics.

thanks

LoL this thread is worthless without pictures , but dont worry they should be up by tomorrow.

Anyways, I'm now riding on some Tanabe DF210's and I've got to say that im REALLY impressed on how it still retains its stock feel. Yeah , you can feel the road more but I'd argue that any lowered car would. I was really expecting the ride to be more rough and bouncy but it's pretty stiff and soft at the same time. Definitely still has that stock feel to it , really happy about it!

As far as how the car's stance , it's more aggressive !

I noticed however that the rear has about a finger gap and the front has about a 1.5 finger gap. Is it normal for it to sit somewhat higher in the front ?

Still waiting on the pictures...

Did you measure your ride height on stock springs and then again with the Tanabes installed?

I used a set of GF210s on my on Integra and was very satisfied with the quality of the springs and the ride.

Not too harsh for a daily driver I say!

im planning on getting GF210 as well for my Fit. My only question is if the drop's n oticeable since its 1.5 front and ''0.9 in the rear. I cant lower my Fit too much though bcuz of the roads...too much dips and holes.

DeathtollWRX · #96 (**permalink**) 04-05-2007, 11:15 PM

I just purchased GF210's and a Tanabe Front Strut bar.
The GF210's are 1.8 front and 1.3 on the back.
I'll be getting them installed 2morrow =D

Luichenwai · #97 (**permalink**) 04-06-2007, 10:32 AM

I'm going to get me a set and hopefully have them by next week.
For the install. Did you guys cut the bump stops? Did you get an alignment afterwards? I know the general rule is to get an alignment after any suspension work but if the drop isn't too big, their is no need. Just like th eeibach Pro-kits.

Anything else I need to know when installing these bad boys?

DeathtollWRX · #98 (**permalink**) 04-06-2007, 10:42 PM

I've installed the DF210 Springs as well as the Tanabe Strut bar.

The car has very little leaning on turns and the turn in is great. The ride is very firm but not jarring and the car doesn't bounce around. Camber doesn't look too bad and the car looks very aggressive. I posted pics in the fit pictures forum.

My car still clears the parking stops and the freeway ride is fairly compliant. I'm very happy with the strut bar and the lowering springs.

I have stock wheels and tires, I don't want to deal with rubbing and I like the stock rims just fine.

I paid $170 for the springs and $100 for the strut bar.
Installed cost me $120 dollars.

i have some on my car right now.
i did cut my bump stops in half and installed the fat part back on
i haven't realigned my car yet and it's been 2 months (i should get it realigned soon)
be careful of the rear brake lines try not to stretch them out (you'll see when you install it)
