yes yes, of those 2 anyways!

 

From experiencing a bunch of diff suspension setups on my GE, for your setup, I would go with the NF's because i can GUARRANTY that you're gona rub with the DF's. Eibach has their stuff comin out too, but since its ure wife's car and she's gona DD, stick with the NF's.

 

wrong, the proper offset of 45+ with a 205-40-17 wont rub, a 195-50 would not runb either :P

Well in theory, they should not rub as the are smaller in diameter then the oem tires.

 

????????????....

 

i have the DF210's and i have 205/45/17 tires +45 rims and i dont rub, but my camber is at -0.7 for the front. as long as you dial in the right camber settings you wont rub with the df's

 

My setups so far
-18"x7.5" +42 225/40/18: Stock height no rubbing

-18"x7.5" +45 215/40/18: Stock height no rubbing
Nf210s barely driveable

-16"x6" +53(stock wheels)205/50/16: Nf210s no
rubbing

 

DF vs NF is kind of an odd comparison. Because it would either be super low, or near stock height. Going with the NF210s would probably be safer though.

 

I'm planning on running 17" rims sometime but sticking to stock rims for right now.
I am actually putting on Df's tonight.
Just as a observation took some before pics this morning.

Before Front:


Before Rear:


From this angle it looks like my car is a 4X4...its driving me nuts.
I will post after pics sometime tomorrow.

 

sweet dude, getter done and pics up!

 

Ok guys/gals,
My buddy and I lowered the fit last night. It took us 2 hrs and was pretty simple with Corona breaks. We opted not to remove all the plastic on the front. I am warning you now the driver side with the windshield wiper hardware in the way is a pain in the arssss to get the strut tower bolt on and off. Like mentioned before make sure you have a magnet stick just in case. Luckily I have long skinny fingers so we were able to get everything to work. Anyways...here are the after pics. Sorry for the crappy pics but I can't get a good pic of the spacing since the wifes tsx is in the garage also. I will take better pics when its not snowing and sleeting like crazy outside.

in the garage...


The past couple days have been really windy and driving the fit on the freeway at 70+mph has been kinda scary on the stock setup.
I drove an hour today at 70+ and probably the worst wind yet. The fit lowered is a joy to drive compared to the stock setup. Center of gravity is dramatically lowered and handling is 10X better. I recommend every fit driver at least lowering their fit 1+ inches.
No rub issues with stock rims and ride quality is d*mn close to stock feel. Only feel a slight difference going over railroad tracks.
I recommend the DF's.
Happy lowering

 

Sweet dude, have you noticed they they went a tad lower after driving them when you took the pics, Happto see only 2 hours. Did you both to take rear shocks out and cut the bump stops of just swap springs?

No problems with your axel in from either lol :P

 

I drove about 80 miles yesterday after I lowered it. It does seem like it might be slightly lower since we installed them. Yea I cut the bump stops on the front and the back in half. The back is a pain because you need to pry a metal sleeve off of the strut tower to get to the bump stop. I sat in the back hatch to see if I still had clearance and it did. The DF's are stiff enough the wheel clearance is still ok even with weight in the back.

No problem with the axels as well. We kept them jacked up with a jack so there was no issues.

 

A+ bro! Looks great as mentioned eariler!

 

I'm sorry, i only beta tested the df's and nf's back in SEPT with after market wheels (17x7 +40 205/40/17) and experienced rubbing. Obviously, with more offset and possible camber, it wouldn't be an issue, but i was going off of what wheel/tire combo he had listed when he asked the question.

 

Thanks man!

I can't wait to see your setup.

 

We need a bump so you can get us some new shots outside at a good normal view

giver!

 

I seriously need to find time to get my stuff installed. Sooooo busy

 

2-3 hours your own time wiyth hand tools and your done or dont cut out rear bump stops and save 30 mins :P max

I cant wait to get all my junk and install it.

 

Nice drop... great alternative to the RS*R Super down springs.. for those of you that can't wait

 

A apologize AP_One. I took pics yesterday but forgot to post them up.
Please don't mind my car is filthy. I am washing it today.
