RSR or Tanabe?

So looks like currently the options for 2009 honda fit lowering springs are RSR or Tanabe.

RSR has two types the Ti2000 and DownSprings.
Tanabe the DF & NF series.

So I highly doubt it, but does anybody here have experience driving both brand springs? Ignoring the price difference for now, I would appreciate it if someone can give me some (dis)advantages for these springs.

I would be getting one of the RSR springs or the Tanabe DF, from what I can gather, the drop is about the same. How about the ride quality?

Thanks

Tanabe is the only one you'll get in the US right now without a long wait.

what dum dum said, just kidding but there are 3 tyoes for ti2000.

down spring, low down and super down springs, minimal drop to most drop. although the rsr are VERY expensive to the tanabe while their ride is also much more stuff.

thanks guys for the replies.
Looks like a local shop is in the process of releasing their T1R springs for the fit, so for now, I'm gonna wait for those. Although I don't want to wait, so maybe I will end up with the Tanabes.

have fun waiting for AJ Racing to come out with parts. I think GD owners are still waiting on products that should have been released years ago.

sir yes sir! Ti2000 are great springs forsure at around almost double the cost of the tanabe's. Forsure Benny and the gang will soon get the t1r springs but there is no reason for them to be better then the tanabe's.

But whatever you get will drop the car a tad and that tad drop no matter what will make it look and handle so much better!
