Tanabe Springs are currently in development! For pricing on springs, we recommend using vendors on FitFreak.net such as AspecProducts!

We are expecting completion and production by Summer '06.

How are these gonna ride? I had Eibach Prokit springs on Tokico Blue dampers on my old Civic. The ride was firm, but wasn't as bad as people who just cut their springs on stock shocks. I'm older now and don't want a sore back. My Fit is not a race car, but I'd like to know it can handle. I'd love to take it Autocrossing, but not have a stiff/harsh setup. If I can confidently take my Fit into a corner turn while doing 1g, then I'll be happy.

We will be releasing the following two springs for the Fit:

GF210 (http://www.tanabe-usa.com/springs/gf210.asp)
GF210 is a more performance oriented spring that is ideal for use with performance dampers such as the KYB AGX. The spring rates are generally around 30% higher than stock, and are still fairly comfortable due to the winding process. These will drop the vehicle up to 1.5"

DF210 (http://www.tanabe-usa.com/springs/df210.asp)
DF210 is for a larger drop, and aftermarket dampers are recommended for the best performance. These would be similar to our offerings on the xA and xB which are our number one selling spring. The DF210's are very comfortable and sporty. These will drop the vehicle up to 2.0"
