Resizing the stock picture would make the difference more noticeable.

So what's the drop for each spring set?

The DF210 is sick...i like it, but also wondering about the sport models...the kit can be in danger with that drop...you guys should show a sport dropped with the DF210

est msrp price should start somewhere from $200-240.

Remember this is just an estimated price basing on the price on other springs for other car makes.

Spring Rate Data and pricing is now available for GF210!


GF210:
Front: 3.4kgmm -1.2"
Rear: 5.2kgmm -1.0"

MSRP: $240.00

(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.
