Thanks.
I am very happy with the DF's.

 

Ok two more for you AP_ONE...

 

Sir yes sir, looks just bang on for a daily that will drive threw 20-40 cm of snow time to time

Not as slammed as what Id be used to but great for what they are. looks good man as said eariler!

Ken

 

Thanks once again. yea its not slammed but def. low enough for me esp. for being a DD. We put it next to my buddies TT and I wasn't half as low as his frame. Of course he is crazy low and doesn't drive it in the winter. His ride is usually tucking all four tires but this is the only pic I have of it when he raised it up a little on his coilovers.

 

Woot! Looking good Commit! Hooray for rear camber!!!! Lawlz

I was also wondering commit, these pictures are after settling correct? And you said you sat in the back and there was still space? The drop looks perfect but my situation is what's holding me back from going with DF's. I usually haul around my family so my Fit is packed.

I was wondering if you could do a full car (1 front passenger, 2 rear passengers) and drive around and see if you experience any problems? I'm in no rush so please don't feel pressured. Whenever the oppurtunity becomes available

Thanks and congrats again on the drop!
Looks sexy!!!!

 

Thanks for the kind words.
I don't haul to many people around but I do plan on loading the car up sometimes and I feel confident that I won't have rubbing issues. Being that the wheels set in a little there is quite a bit of space for the spring and tire to travel. Plus remember the spring is stiffer to compensate for the lack of spring travel. I had NF's on my CL Type S and was never happy with it because it didn't even seem like the car was lowered. Thats why I went with the DF's this time. I am glad I did now.
I wish I would have though about it the night I lowered my car. I would have had my buddy sit in the back of the fit while I drove around a little (He weighs about 240lbs). I will keep you informed though when I do haul multiple people around though.
You might want to ask some other people on here that have DF's too. But I'm 90% sure you won't have rubbing issues with the DF's on stock wheels with a full car.

Good luck!

 

Looks really good, man! Thanks for the cool pics. I'm getting more and more convinced to get the DF210's installed on my car also. Just like you, the Fit is my DD, how is the daily drive so far? Not too stiff as other people have described I hope. Should there still be room if I need to upgrade to slightly bigger tires with stock rims? If so, do have an idea what size tires (bigger than stocks) will fit? Thanks for you help.

 

as i just posted in anothet thread for tire size and results for a 16"

the oem overall diameter is I believe 24.2" while the 195-45-16 is 22.8" so yould not rub im sure but yould also create a larger gap in the drop making it look not as low (to the ground), if you went with a 205-45-16 it would stay the same at 22.8" while a 205-50-16 would be 24.1" making it damn near bang on as stock resulting in basically zero change to the odometer and yould handle better and keep the look and improve handling by far



also no way would you rub with oem size tires dumped
while if you went with a 195-50-16 it woud be 23.7" thus near same as stock as well but a tad smaller meaning less chance to rub over the 205.

 

With the stock rims and tires I don't notice that much of a difference at all in the ride quality compared to stock. Yes you have to take rail road tracks a little slower but you would have to do that with any springs or coilovers installed even the NF's.
I plan on eventually getting 17's but plan on keeping close to the same overall size as the stocks so I am not sure if rubbing issues will happen with bigger tires on the stock rims.

 

Is it me or do the DF's sit lower at the rear than the front? Think im gonna go ahead and get these...

 

Its actually an even drop in the front and back from the stock setup. Its just in the back the fender has more of an overhang so in pics it seems like its lower than the front a good side view shows they are pretty equal. I've thought about buying some 25mm wheel spacers to get rid of the overhang in the back but they cost $140 and I don't know if its really worth it.

You can see what I'm talking about sort of in this pic..

 

Na man, dont buy the spacers. Its a waste of cash for what, a SLIGHTLY more flush look plus when you go aftermarket, yould take them off unless you forcertain like to rub a dub dub

 

ha ha exactly
I'm not wasting the money.

 

yea man definitely get 17's! i have the same springs and i have 17's and they look awesome, 16's for me just seem too small. here is what my car looks like with the 17's

 

That looks sick man, wish it was just a tiny bit lower. I wonder if I get the DF's with some 205/45/16 which are about an inch smaller in diameter the car will sit lower and have a bigger wheel gap? Or will the wheel gap stay the same? I think another .5" would be perfect but not if it makes the wheel gap bigger or the same.

 

i think the wheel gap will be smaller but the car will sit lower. if you get 16's 205/50/16 is the correct tire set up if you wanna keep close to the stock wheel size

 

With the 205-45-16 your car will sit a tad lower to the ground although YOU WILL HAVE more gap from your tire to your fender. 205-50-16 is best forsure!

 

Your running 205-45-17 tires, I was wondering your wheel specs 17x7 (what offset) and do you have any rubbing at all. thanks man!

 

17x7.5 +45 offset

 

Ok, just an update. We went ahead and ordered the NF210, installed them this past weekend and put on the 18's. I drove it around w/ no rubbing issues. Got it aligned under warranty (since we knew people @ Honda) and the front was still in spec while the rear was just a little off nothing major no way of adjusting the rear. Now we are just waiting to tranfer the tpms sensors to the rims and she is set. Thanks for the inputs.
