It seems that the Vogtland springs lower the car more, and are a little bit more tighter as well.

This is with 16" w/205/40

Thx Tanabe!

The ride & height is just perfect for me, no rubbing issues, no road/spring noise and very smooth for my daily commute. It rides like stock with a nice lowered stance

Waiting to clean my car to put the stickers on

yo would you had been able to drop them with the DF210s?? would that been to low with your wheel set up?

They actually test FIT-ted the DF210's on my car too. When I was talking to the R&D manager he said that the DF210 would need aftermarket shocks since it lowers more and is more aggressive.
The GF210 actually settled in and it looks like it lowered alittle more when I first got them Still rides good

I am seriously excited, I got a hold of the Tanabe DF210 Prototypes, I believe the ones used in the picture, to install on my black Fit. I couldn't wait for them to be released yet. I am a little concerned about some rub issues i might have from what I heard but I am willing to take the chance. I have a base so I am not worried about ground clearance too much but it still should be pretty low.

shock damage

would these mess with the stock shocks?

i know some people who went with stock shocks and lower springs and had some pretty bad turnouts

if not a set of i'd definiately be a buyer

We've had many sets of these springs ship out of our warehouse, we're excited to hear feedback on these springs.

GF210 is available and for sale

DF210 is pending arrival from Japan

Both springs will work with the factory dampers, and aftermarket dampers can complement them better, by being valved more aggressively for the higher spring rates.
