How To: Skunk2 lowering springs
Hey everyone. There are a few threads on how to lower. I made a vague one on the Tanabe GF210's. I will post this though specifically for the Skunk2 springs. The install is clean and straightforward and the springs bring the car down nicely.

Please check out the page here: Springs

Feel free to PM me with any questions.

Great write-up Kris, this should help out a lot of Fit Freak members wanting to lower their Fits.

Question
Nice writeup, lots of detail and pics!! I am going to use this baby when I install my springs this weekend

Follow up Question: What torque specs should I be using when I tighten everything back up. If it is in the Honda manual just say, I am lazy and my manual is in the car... 20 floors down

UPDATE: Never mind, found an online in-depth service manual with all proper specs. Put my springs in this weekend, was a great guide to follow.
