Fit 1.4 vs 1.5 Tanabe Springs

Hi guys!

It's been a while since the last time I wrote here!

I've got a specific question about suspension springs. As you know here in Europe the Fit 1.5 RS isn't imported and the most powerful one is the 1.4 iVtec. So I was checking the Tanabe catalouge for the springs, and a general "FIT GE9" is stated without specifing what engine it actually fits.

Since I'm not sure about compatibility within cars, is there someone so kind with in RS that could help me with this matter. I just need the codes from the ammos and a couple of pictures..

it doesn't matter. all Fit (Jazz) trims have the same basic body for a given model year. the springs will fit across the trims.

That's what i wanted to know I love this car. So basically, if the share the same springs what about the weight of the car?

Uhm, guys who's wearing DF210s around here?

I read that they're pretty soft springs, more stylish than racing. How do you feel with them? I mean, expecting to take part to some soft trackday (my Fit ain't time attack ride), would I risk to tumble around?

I have df210s on my gd. All looks and honestly the front sits taller than the rear so looks kinda funky. Go with swift or save for coilovers.

oops.... don't like this... Never mind, I'm gonna live with that since I already bought them. BTW no coilover on the Fit, one top tuning car is enough don't like to start another yet...
