looks good, how much of a drop is it?

I would like to lower our FIT a little, but the wife drives it and I don't want too agressive of a drop where she'll bottom out the car all the time.

thanks guys, bumps are felt a little more than stock but nothing u would go crazy driving. you just feel the road a little more. but the ride is real good. almost stock till u hit the turns. i would definetly recomend these springs.

as for EUROZ*JDMZ, i dont know how the roads are where ur at but the drop isnt low enough to bottem out. i rarely slow down for bumps or turns and i wouldnt worry about it. my wife said she felt absolutly no difference while cruising but she did notice the body roll was almost gone!

ill post up the spring rates soon as i find them, but Tein will only sell through a distributer so check they're site to find ur closest one. i got them through a company called R2B2 motors here in Ga

What size tires you runnning on those wheels as they seem real big (ie:fat sidewall) for a aftermarket wheel. Well they look like the oem tires? Drop looks great, same as the df's although I dont think they dop it as much, could just be the angle of the pics!

Nice again man!

+1 on the Wheel and tire size?!?! I like the fat tire look!

By the way I looked on Tein's site but could only find an application for the GD?

Looks awesome. Are those rota grids?

Cant wait to lower mine this sunday! Im loving the GE8's so much now that the aftermarket is finally catching up and people are modding them.

I looked it up, looks like it's available only in Japan and Hong Kong as of now.
Japan07+S.TECH SoftTEIN, INC.
SKB74-S1B00JPY 25,500
so how do us common folk get these? and they were around $255 bucks?

thanks for all the props guys! 1fitpinoy, my twin from another dealer! lol! well its very hard to find the part number for these springs but yes, they ARE for the GE8. Not the GD. u can find it on the japan web site. should be available in the states and about 2 months.

the drop is less than 2in so my guess is about 1 and 1/2in drop.

as for the tires, they are the stock tires. i didnt wanna go with a low profile tire and loose ride quality. and the wheels are rota grids. 16's
