    Okay, getting close to buying JDM springs but would like confirmation from someone that they are compatible with US model. I'm looking at the Tanabe Sustec NF210 springs.

    Tanabe USA has yet to do it's own R & D and may never due to low demand. It totally sucks that they already have (2) versions of lowering springs for the Honda Insight !

    The specs for the front springs are 25mm and the rears are 31mm. I can't imagine the diameters are different but I've been wrong before.... Just don't want to make a $500.00 mistake! :eek: Any thoughts?

    Not yet, although Tanabe USA has completed the R & D and I'm hoping springs will be available by the end of the year.:)
