Put on Tanabe DF210's last week. Here's what it looks like:
The installation wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Took less than an hour and thirty mins to do. The ride comfort isn't that bad, but a bit more stiff. Handling seems much improved! and the drop looks great too!!
Springs: Tanabe DF210
Endlinks: stock
Shocks: stock
Sways: Tanabe Front Lower end bar
Braces: None
Alignment specs: None
Is this your dd??: yip yip!

heres a few pics after i got my springs on. considering their used springs i dont think they will settle much. I love how much better the car looks and feels. I think new shocks will defnatly put it at a new level of fun.

Springs:
Eibach Sportline
Endlinks: stock
Shocks: stock for now. plan to get either some T1R's or some Tokico HTS's
Sways: Progress rear anti sway bar
Braces: None currently. plan to go with front rear strut bars and front lower tie bar
Alignment specs: once springs settle alignment will be done at honda
Is this your dd??: the wifes daily so tech yes, but i drive it more often.

Lowered

Hey all.

I lowered my Fit some time ago. Here is what it looks like.
Another view

I am running 2 inch drop Eibach springs and American Racing 18" wheels. I am looking for drop shocks. I have Toxic Shocks on my S-10 and love them. I cant find anything but coilovers. Anyone?

Thumbs up Before and After

It's a good feel w/ the GF-210's and with the rims, tires and no spacers lost 70 pounds of rolling mass. Faster, better in the turns win-win.
Rims 15" x 6.5" 40mm offset, color: Kandy Tangerine House of Kolor,
Daily driver, Tanabe GF-210 springs from FFr jman245 1.5" drop front and 1" rear, didn't get a print of the alignment specs. And if Btha had not told me about "all aspects motorsports"
I would'a been hurt'n, Thankz B!
If i remember -1.4 degrees.??front
Rear has Monroe air shocks, front is OEM shocks w/o cutting bump stop & stock end links..
Trying to find a tire store to aligine is a NO GO here. They heard dropped and said "no" all but 1 and they wanted 100.00 HAHA ha.

I made a plywood jig when I lowered it so the axle would not fall out as many have said happens. I did get an alignment and it was off huge!

The rims are 18 inch but stock roll out so they are exactly the same size as OEM. Width, circumference, diameter are all OEM. The speedo is off 0% from OEM.
