Don't waste money on DF210s. Take it from me. The drop is not worth it and the springs are too soft. Get a set of Progress or Skunks if you want to go springs.

 

with the money you gonna spend on installing it plus labor, then alignment, camber adjust...might as well buy a set of coilovers and do alignment and camber adjust..might be more wise that way, plus coilovers these days allow you to adjust the comfortness to whatever you want...springs, once its worn out, shocks will blown and might cost you more to repair..just a thought.

 

If you pay someone to install springs on a Fit you don't deserve to touch it. Springs on the Fit are the easiest to swap out of any car I have ever done. It took me about 2.5 hours from start to finish.

 

i agree. i would probably recommend the skunks. thats what i have and jae saw my car. the progress just lowers the back to some what even out the fits stance instead of a forward lean. if your hesitant to put springs on we could do a wrench meet.

What happened to matt4.2?

 

i'll probably go for the Progress Springs. No offense kyler but i didnt like how the rear seemed so raised up.

as far as spring installation goes, im not to worried about it as i've put springs in a 91 240SX. My only concern is that axle popping out. is that a big issue?

 

no offense taken. i was thinking about buying some progess springs but i think i will just save up and get the skunk coilovers. the axle pop out is not a big deal if you take your time. i just raised the car and put the wheel i took off under the axle to keep it from moving. just make sure not to let the whole A arm assembly droop or the axle will pop.

 

oh, guess i'll just have to look underneath the car and see how the axle is designed.

hmmm matt 4.2...iunno he kinda dissapeared.

oh well..we still got about 6-9 fits active in the area. it works

 

Its not a big conern. I just supported the knuckle with a jackstand and it was fine. It will make perfect sense when you actually get underneath and see the layout. Follow the Skunk spring how-to and it will be a piece of cake.

Air tools are really helpful too. Just a suggestion to help save time. Had I had air tools it would have probably cut my overall time to less than 2 hours.

 

you cant build muscles using air tools. i would get the progress springs and rear sway bar at the same time.

 

Tis true but time is a valuable thing to waste

 

cant argue with that

 

are we still going to have a meet at ikea on sunday the 19th at 2?

 

crap, whoa, hey, wtf?

Where did this meet idea come up for this sunday?

 

read page 7. some guy wants to hear my spoon n1 exhaust so i guess we are meeting at ikea at 2. no one is responding though. if no one responds then i guess i wont go either. how is your fit matt? any updates?

 

well, i'll be there, might be early too. i'll try to leave work around 130pm, so i can be there exactly at 2,

 

ok. i will see you there at 2. i will be in the additional parking garage on the north side.

 

I'm gonna be over on Nov.3 if anyone is free.

 

im busy that whole week.

Im retarded. I had my dates wrong. I'm leaving Spokane on Friday the 31st. Have all day Saturday open. So that is the 1st. Then Sunday I'm at the hawks game so pretty tied up on Sunday.
