I recently purchased a set of Tanabe GF 210 springs for my fit. Does anybody have a write up on how to install these springs? I really don't want to pay to get them installed but im not very good at working on my car.

How To: Install Skunk2 Lowering Springs for Honda Fit

I used this and did mine a week ago. Make sure when you do the rears they are seated correctly. Mine werent and made noises and I had to lift the rear end and rotate them again. Its honestly an easy install though, just take your time and make sure you go over everything once your done.
