These are for anyone who wants to know what the Tanabe GF210 springs look like with the stock wheels. I am wondering if I put the rear springs on right also?

I think your rear springs are set wrong
Heres how mine looked before I went back to stock

Hmmm, so does it really matter how they sit? Will they perform to same way?

So like I said, does it matter or do I need to flip them around?

Just want some expert advice, I have 18x7 Ikon rims with a 2 or 3 inch lip on my fit sport, not sure what the offset is off hand I would have to get the paper work out, but off the top of my head I want to lower the car a little but because I have rubbing issues in the back now but only with people in it, I know I will have to roll the fenders but will I have any other rubbing issues with the insisdes of the fenders, bumper stops, plastic etc,I noticed no one runs 18s on there fits but I did not plan on lowering it but it looks so nice when people are in it and there is not much of a fender gap, or is this a no no with the bigger rims, thanks for the advice, Sean

if i were a betting man, i'd say you should probably fix it so it's oriented right side up.

I am shopping for GF210's. The cheapest non-Ebay place that I've found is this one:

Tanabe GF210 Lowering Springs 07+ Honda Fit $156.00

+ UPS ground shipping of $18.08

Any better price? That seems pretty decent.

optionsauto.com is usually cheap

what did you do about camber? re alignment? car looks good. how's the ride quality?

aznguyen316 · #**151** (**permalink**) 07-05-2007, 04:02 PM

hold on.. those "progressive" part of the spring, where the springs coil more are supposed to be on the bottom? I've read and seen the more coiled part sit at the top.. let me know what's the correct positioning, I'm confused by who everyone is referring to when saying "upside down". thanks

Which way is the correct way to install these?

I always thought it was the real close coil part sits at the top.

I didn't have to do anything about the camber and I did not get it aligned. Ride quality is pretty good too.

so, you have the same springs? any uneven tire wear? how long/many miles have you been lowered for?
thanx.

i have these springs and i just installed them so you can read the label.the ride is more bouncy than i thought it would be.i was hoping it would be like my old '92 accord that was lowered on 1.5 progress springs and tokico struts,it was a firmer ride.

i have these springs and i have 16x7 konig heliums on my car. I installed it myself and there has been no camber wear at all....NOTHING. I have done 3 tire rotations since then and everything is perfect.

On a side note, the BOM sport, i think u have ur springs on upside down (in the back) cuz the more coiled part is supposed 2 be sitting at the bottom. U have 2 install it so the writing is facing correctly.

I guess my springs should be settle down by now. You can't tell on this photo but I just wanted to show you guys the ride stance. It's pretty good. Yeah it's a little bouncy but you get used to it after a while.

I'm pretty much happy with it,, I dont think i'll go with DF210s..
