final decision (GE8) df210 or s-coils

Ok help me decide which springs for my 2010. Narrowed it down to either the tanabe df210 or the t1r s coils.

Interesting, 110 views and 1 vote on two of the most popular spring setups for the Fit.

One thing I have noticed about the DF210's compared to other aftermarket springs, they have much lower spring rates. Anyone have input on this?

I went with the DF210s Im excited about the purchase and feel I made a good one. If it doesn't work out, which probably will mean none of them would, the next step is to do a good coilover. But I'd rather try a $200 option before a $1000+ one, especially if it gives good results.

i like my DF210s but in hindsight, i'd rather have just gotten coilovers in the first place. my reasoning was that by the time my stock shocks died, surely the aftermarket would have some nice shocks/struts that would pair nicely with the lowering springs. i was wrong. the front end is still tolerable and comfortable but my rear passengers would definitely not appreciate a trip longer that 20 minutes in my car.

A bit of advice--don't buy springs made by a company that started out making exhausts. Buy springs from a company that specializies in suspension. Not exhausts, shift knobs, etc.
