Dropping
Wandering if our chasis is lower friendly? I tried searching about the tanabe DF210 on 08 fit... Couldn't really find what I need.

Tanabe USA Inc. - DF210 Dress-Up Form Springs

Basically I'm looking for a spring and maybe throw in some strut combo along the way. Looking at the tanabe springs. I know our cars are pretty agile and stiff. How's the drop on these springs? I have factory lip and etc on the car. And driving in LA sucks due to messed up roads... Good idea to use these as DD?

i think you may be looking for GF210
it's a more subtle drop than the DF210 and a little more stiff, i've heard:

GF210


DF210

For some reason that white fit looks higher than the first pic... could be just the shadow

after you mentioned it, i think so too LoL... i've seen both drops next to each other on two different Fits and the DF is about a half-inch to an inch lower than the GF.

the white one looks higher cause its on a driveway, the slopping back makes the car move back slightly.

the gf210 on 15s are kinda high in the front.. but 16s fit pretty well.

Both drops look really good suprisingly.

I guess it depends on the size of the wheels too.

those are good. if you want a lower drop use eibach sportlines. they have the lowest drop for lowering springs

if you're going to retain the factory shocks, i would definitely recommend tanabe gf210 springs. less compression on the factory shocks, more bound/rebound travel, better handling than a super low dress-up spring
