(Only available for purchase/pre-order through authorized dealers, dealer pricing may be less than MSRP, so please see vendor forum and contact C2Auto, A-Spec, etc)

GF210's will be the first to arrive!


We have pictures from a Sport model, but since this was the first round of R&D, the fitment and pictures are not the results of the final product. Clearance should not be an issue with the Sport models, albeit it is always recommended to be extra vigilant about bumps, etc when driving a lowered vehicle.
please i would like to see the drop with the DF210s on sport when possible

Guys, Tanabe posted a pic of the DF210 in stalled on a FIT. Its not a sport FIt but it gives you an idea on what the drop is.

I was wondering if the springs (and other parts) would arrive from Japan before I actually got my FIT..(im lookin for a base 5mt in black) so i called tanabe today..

they said the springs are in production already and expect the first shipment of the GF210s next month sometime..
hopefully i can get the car before then..

last month they told me this month. My patience wears thin quick. I really don't want a 1.5 inch drop such as the ajr springs but i would look better than it does now that's for sure.

So I dropped my car off monday morning and came out with this








I would've FIT under it, if it wasnt for a bar going down to hook up for towing



How many fingers?
Front



Rear



This is with 16" w/205/40

Thx Tanabe!



The ride & height is just perfect for me, no rubbing issues, no road/spring noise and very smooth for my daily commute. It rides like stock with a nice lowered stance

Waiting to clean my car to put the stickers on

yeah i just ordered them off ebaymotors, so i believe they are in final production

the stance looks great and i have the same size wheels so its good to hear they don't rub, i just can't wait to handle with these springs
