Tanabe Gf210s photos, questions, answers
Hello FIt Freakers, I am about to order the Tanabe GF 210 lowering springs. I found info. online and they seem like a good product, but wanted to know if any of you FIT freaks had an opinion or hard facts about these lowering springs.

GF210s are a german made spring, just like eibachs, from what i remember on the last GF210's i had they had the closest spring rate to stock.
they are also iso 9001 certified so you know your getting a proven and tested product.
a good spring that share abou tthe same spring rates is Eibach.
but remember the rule of thumb, no new springs w/o new shocks. dont do double the work when u can do it once and get it over with.

What are you talking about? Tanabes are Japanese. Also good luck finding shocks and front struts that fit our NA Fits...

Sorry, forgot... here is the link for some Springtechs for the 07' FIT. They are located in Ananheim, CA. If you live close enough to pick them up they wont charge shipping. I was also quoted $175 for them to install. Hope this helps. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SPRIN...spagenameZWDVW |

I emailed the guys over at Kumura and they said they would fit the 07' FIT and would work with stock struts...( but ive experienced otherwise with my other cars.) So its a roll of the dice I guess. I really want to drop my car but it seems that I want the quick fix and not the right fit, so best advice I was given was...be patient! Get it through a vendor on this site. it seems alot more legit' than ebay probably...

We will let you guys lknow when they're available. MOst likely, those guys are selling the JDM tanabe springs. Tanabe will post when its already to purchase from Vendors. We all deal with Tanabe USA directly so we get legit info.
