GE8 Lowered with Tanabe DF210 Springs
Just wondering if anyone has lowered their GE8 with Tanabe DF210 springs?
Mind sharing photos and experience with these springs? Am interested in knowing how the drop ended up? Happy with the ride and handling? Would you recommend them? Any other springs you would like to replace your OEM springs with? TIA for sharing. :wavey: |
Was my first mod with only 30-40kms on the car when i got home, took me 1h 30mins to do entire car, Handles great, still too high for my liking but fursure good enough for now. I now have my wheels on but are yet to take any pics. Well worth the money the are!

^^^ Holy crap!!! You have some nice a$$ cars!!!

Mine is also lowered on DF's. Handles great and reduced almost all body roll. The back looks great but wish the front was a little lower. Theyll hold me off till I get some coilovers though.

i just ordered my DF springs. they come in this week but i won't be installing them until i get back from vaca. but yea these are just to hold me off until im able to afford coilovers. crossing my fingers for the end of may or mid june

Love mine!!!!! recommend them 10000+ times
So much better than stock handling wise and highway speeds are no longer a problem..even with a side wind....and they are really close to stock ride quality. http://inlinethumb46.webshots.com/42...600x600Q85.jpg http://inlinethumb15.webshots.com/41...600x600Q85.jpg http://inlinethumb08.webshots.com/10...600x600Q85.jpg |
I am planning to get this springs too...

Looks great. My second gen Scion xB is lowered on DF210s. Prob not going to lower the Fit due to the fact that it already scrapes coming in my driveway.

Committobefit08, your car looks great! Right amount of drop IMHO.
Have you considered a 5 or 10mm spacer for the rear wheels? BTW, where and what price did you buy the DF210 springs? Thanks to all for responding. :wavey: |
SWEET!!! just got a call from my aftermarket parts dealer, SPRINGS ARE COMING IN TODAY!!!! haven't even left for vacation yet but now i can't wait to come back!!

Thanks to all for responding. :wavey: I bought mine at http://www.advancespeedshop.com/tana...3-p-10142.html $210 + shipping I have thought about spacers but I carry bikes and other materials a lot in my fit so I have to leave room for the tires. If I got spacers I'm afraid I'd rub. |
I got mine from yoparts for $207 shipped :)

I'm actually going to take pics very soon. My 45 series tries come in on wednesday or thursday, so I'll try to put those on and get myself aligned this weekend, and hopefully have time to take pics.

How much did the springs lower your ride? I really want to improve the ride of my car but I am worried that I will have trouble in the Michigan weather if my car sits too low.

One more ? I have never had my car lowered. Is this a problem if the car is full of passengers(can it be too low) or does the higher compression rate of the springs make up for this?
