hey everyone, i'm going to be getting a 2008 MR Fit Sport (manual trans) in a week or two, and was wondering everyones opinions, both good and bad about the Skunk2 sport springs, and the Tanabe DF springs. both have a similar drop, but i can't find the spring rates on the skunk2's. which ones have a smoother ride? (i.e. less bouncy, ect.) anyone who has either of these springs on thier fit's, please chime in and help me decide which set to get. the price difference between the two doesn't matter, and isn't a problem for me. thanks alot everyone, and i'm glad to be joining the Honda Fit nation!!!

I don`t know about the Skunk2`s but I have the DF210`s and I think they ride very good, there not bouncy but they have a nice firm ride and they handle great. Hope this helps.

 

Hey Jason, I'm interested in this topic too. I'm probably going to end up getting the Skunk 2's but the firm ride is what I want. And I've heard good things about both of the springs but I've had personal experience with the Skunk 2's. Welcome to Fitfreak =]

 

How does the DF's look on stock 15" sport wheels?

 

df's are lower than sk2's. I like my drop just wish it was lower, BUT I love slammed cars

 

so, george, u'r running skunk2 springs, correct? i have decided not to go with the df's, but it's now between the gf210's and the skunk2's???

 

I just put df210s on my car today and i like so far. I will post a pic of the car lowered with stock wheels in a few. just gotta get it uploaded.

 

DF210's were wat i was running before going coilovers. the ride height
imho was very nice. but with the EnduraTechs i can go even lower
and the ride is 10x smoother.

 

i think i heard that Skunk springs are a lot more stiff than the DF's.

theres a thread around with a spreadsheet of all the springs available and the spring rates. just gotta search for it.

^^ lookin good, spokan.

 

Got any side shots? Im also interested.

 

I don't pretty much immediately after installing the springs we started having snow dump on us. I will post as soon as it melts.

 

Per last request...... Side shot. Snow finally melted

 

Here is a picture of our fit when it had the stock wheels on it. It is lowered on the df210s
