I have to be honest with you Tanabe...

I went to a pretty decent sized Fit meet this past weekend and there were many fits dropped on different springs from Tein,T1R,Skunk2 etc.

I gotta say that my fit had the highest ride height which is weird because i went with the DF210's because of the advertised droppage.Also what's weird is the reversed rake that this spring gives me,the front actually has more wheel gap than the back.

All in all,i am pretty disapointed and regret that i went with Tanabe

Running on 17's

Does anyone have any feedback on running 17" rims on the car? Any pictures running on 17's?

Just installed them on my GE, liking them a lot so far. Only small complaint is the front seems a bit too high. maybe 1.5F 1.8R would have been better?

Looks good. Ill be installing mine this sunday too. Same color. I am worried about the front not being low enough and the back being too low but coilovers are out of my budget and the RS*R super downs are impossible to get so I think ill be happy with the DF's.

What size wheel and tires are those?

Im hoping if I get some 205/50/16 tires on my Fit with OEM wheels itll remove some of the wheel gap and make it look more flush. Maybe ill try some 5mm spacers.

It's quite simple actually. Here's the link once more Tanabe USA Inc. - DF210 Dress-Up Form Springs

The lowering numbers are all there... so you can measure on your car how much lower it will be with these springs installed. There's also some pictures of a Fit with stock wheels lowered with these springs.

You won't get the flush look with lowering springs and smaller diameter tires.

I have had these springs installed for about 6 months now and the ride is excellent. I really can`t complain. I am running 205 40 17x7 with a +40 offset - no rubbing.
