Tanabe DF210 Springs

I think I'm going to bite on the DF's for my GE. I'd like the T1R coilovers but they're just out of my price range right now. I really like the DF's drop... it's agressive but I can still use my fit as my DD. Just have a couple of questions before I purchase.

What's the best place to buy from? Price + Reliability?

Are the GD and GE springs the same? For example on this link http://www.modernhonda.com/product.php?productid=16565 it says that it's for 07+. Does that include the 09's? Other links have them seperate such as just 07-08, or just 09.

I couldn't find the info on search, but if it's already been addressed, please send me that way. Thanks.

i got mine from assaultech but advance speed shop is much cheaper.

i've had the DF210s on the car for a few weeks now (i've had the car for 2 months). the setup is very comfortable. i mainly wanted to lower the car since it's scary to drive in windy areas and it has definitely helped in that respect as well as adding some fun in the corners.

GD and GE suspension is NOT the same.

if you're able, try to install the suspension yourself. my brother and i did the setup since he has airtools. i've done suspension before when i was into the whole VW/euro scene and i have to say that it was so much easier doing the install on the fit.

have fun!

i picked up my GF210s for my GD there. kinda scary walking into the little warehouse with all kinds of incense burners with little budahs and pandas and some big red shrine ahahah.

but goodluck!!! common sense and a little bit of elbow grease should get those springs on.. im pretty sure theres a DIY on installing lowering springs for the GE here
