are you seriously thinking about getting these?
cause...

i recommend not buying "Skurnk 3" springs from Taiwan.

I would definitely not try and cheap out when it comes to the suspension.

how long does the auction have left?
i don't exactly see them flying off the shelves so I would expect them to still sell for substantially less than even discounted retail.
But I think lowering springs are silly and just a quick way to ruin the longevity of the fit's suspension components.

but whateves...

Yeah but out of all the times I have used springs, the only thing that has gone after a year or so are the shocks/struts. After that, by the time I needed to replace, coilovers were out for the car I was driving at the time.

I have GF210's but the Skunk2's are on their way...So we will see...For the Fit, I can handle $200 in struts when I need to replace them.

If that's sarcasim...thanks! I can take it as much as I can dish it. If you can't accept the fact that you're not going to be breaking anything with this car, then you are on the right track. Until regular folks, besides shops start doing K20/24 swaps or turbos, then some $200 lowering springs will last as long as you want on this car. No bolt on in the world could max out anything from the factory unless as said, it is a turbo or SC. As for the original posters question...Just dish out the money as a reputable shop and don't skimp on something for your car on e-bay.

As for selling, yes, I will be selling the springs but someone has their hand in the pot for them already.

Thank god Jazz has been out for ages in UK.

Got loads of scrap yards with shocks/struts that have plenty of life in them.
