These are the ones that should give a 1.5 inch drop.

The Nf are supposed to be a more mild drop and mild ride. The Df are supposed to be the big drop. The Gf are the mild drop stiff spring. At least that is what I gather from their website.
I found out from Tanabe via email that the Nf won't be made for the Fit.

We were originally going to design an NF spring for the Fit, but opted to create the more performance oriented GF210 spring for this vehicle.

The GF210 still maintains a comfortable ride, but is more in tune with owners who would prefer to throw their small lightweight car through a few corners every now and then.

We chose this spring because we felt that it will offer more to the majority of Fit owners who will be modifying their vehicle.

Are you still going to make the DF210s, Im rocking DF210 prototypes from what I was told but they had gd1 instead of gd3 tags on them (vendor said to disregard the tags)... is that what they really are or were they adjusted?

We will still be making the DF210s and they will be arriving soon. The springs you have are more than likely our prototype springs, unless that vendor grey marketed and imported Japan spec springs.

The US spec and Japan spec springs are very different from each other.

So there is absolutely no plans of a NF version for the US fit?

I may not be alone on this one......but I feel alot of us fit owners would like a conservative drop while maintaining stock ride quality. I use to have the GF210. My wife hated the ride quality but liked the subtle drop. It was at the point that I decided to reinstall the stock suspension. Is there any chance of reconsidering making the NF210?
