Tanabe just installed those springs into my car yesterday
I havent had any driving time with it yet but it rides pretty smooth so far for my daily commute Im gonna try to get some pix after work...

 

thats cool, they testing it or did u buy and get the install there?

pics would be great!

 

I'm looking at springs. what do you think of the ride?

 

i got the NF210 1.5 drop, the ride feels smoother, but the handling is amazing, its like 100x better than stock!!! i take a curve at about 100 -110km easy, the fit doesnt shake its like its on rails. and i weave throught highways easily the car seems so nimble and i think it helps having a 15inch 205/50 rims and Kumho ecsta sport tyres. So hell yeah!! the springs is a great buy, and my ride looks so much better with it lowered. i wish i can post pics but i dont know how.... TANABE ROCKs!!!!!!!!

 

I hear ya on that! Ride is really smooth like stock with a nice lowered stance. You can check out my pix of the GF210 installed here

what's the difference between the GF and NF versions? are the drop the same?

 

i want to see the DF210 drop on a sport...to broke to get them

 

In my correspondance with Tanabe they told me that they do not make the NF210 for the Fit.

From their website GF= Grip Feeling 20%-30% stiffer than stock, subtle drop. DF= Dress-up Feeling 10%-15% stiffer, max drop. NF= Normal Feeling 5% stiffer, tasteful drop.

 

But Do You Know If They Me The Gf's For The Sport? I Hope So... Ohh And I'm Picking Up My Nighthawk Black Sport Tomorrow At 7:30am From The Dealer Ship Paying In Cash The Whole Amunt. I'm Pumped! Woo Hoo! Ok ... I'm Over It... Just Couldn't Help Me Self....anyways, People With Gf Springs: What Shocks Did You Install,if Any, Along With Your Gf's?

 

strange eh? i was told dat tanabe didnt have the GF210 for the jazz yet, only the NF and the DF. So the NF210 is wat i got 1.5inch drop. Were u talkin a about tanabe usa?
cos i got mine from japan

 

Yes this is from tanabe usa. It seems that 1.5 inch drop would be quite a bit for our cars. That is about what I guessed from the pics they put up in this forum of the DF.

 

Are springs something that I would be able to install myself or would I have to take them to a shop?

 

Depending on your mechanical ability. I have done it a few times on my VW's. Just remember to get a spring compressor for the fronts, you can usually borrow them from autoparts stores. There is a guy that posts in the Canada forum about doing it, you may ask him about any tricks to it.
But in short, with the proper tools and a little care you should be able to do it.

 

Does anyone know if tokico makes shocks for the Fit? cause i'm intereted in getting some to go along with some Tanabe GF 210's.

 

Any pics with this spring mod? I'm in the market for lowering springs.

How do these compare to the Spoon springs?
