Smile just a question . .

Did you used the stock shocks for the DF210? . .
Coz i wan't to make mine lower, but coilover kits are expensive so i'm planning to go for DF210 . .


i would much appreciate your immediate response, thank you.

Yes, everything remained STOCK except for the SPRINGS...
EXACTLY, coil overs are a bit of $$$ and i am not going to have my fit
for very long so i am not looking to invest a lot of $$ into it...

IMO:
The drop is nice...
Ride is a little bouncy but hey the DROP makes up for it...
Handling is So0o0o0 much better, body roll is decreased GREATLY,
and if you thought you could turn quick before once you install and
take a corner, you will feel the difference...

OVER ALL: get them installed!!! haha...



Here are the Pics:

FRONT:






REAR:

There is less wheel gap in the front since the drop is 1.3 Front / 1.8 Rear...
pictures are deceiving... lol...

That was a mistake on my part... i was on a thread where i meant to leave someone NEGATIVE REP, but i clicked on the wrong tab and left it for you...
As soon as it allows me to leave you REP again, i assure you it will be POSITIVE, lol...

looks good.

tanabe's known for their low rear ride look. it's their style. not just the Fit's pretty much across the board.

Ya, TANABE DF series has a sick drop and all cars that it
has a set for...

Good thing is not only do you get the drop it actually helps
with suspension performance...
