Features
These 2010-2013 Honda Insight DF210 Coil Springs raise your Insight's spring rate about 10-15% in order to compensate for the shortened amount of suspension travel, without over stiffening the spring rate and therefore affecting the ride quality of shock lifespan.
The DF210 coil springs have an extremely low stance, as well as high quality performance and comfort. These coil springs for your Honda Insight offer a large drop while still retaining the quality ride characteristics that your Insight is so well known for.
All coil springs are designed using the Sustec 210 Technology, which is a series of manufacturing methods developed to create a stronger, thinner, and lighter spring using only high tensile steel-without adding additional elements that likely would affect the quality of durability and even price. Furthermore, “210” stands for 2100n/m of tensile strength, which is the highest strength ever achieved in a coil spring.
These springs give an estimated 1.0-1.5” drop.
Performance - via a combination of
progressive spring rates and a lower center of gravity:
- Top speed - Increased due to reduced aero drag.
- Slalom speed - Increased due to reduced roll, better
steering response.
- Lane-changing performance - Enhanced due to reduced
roll, better steering response.
- Braking 60-0 mph - Shortened due to reduced
dive.
- Lateral g (skid pad) - Increased due to reduced
dive.
- Acceleration time 0-60 mph - Reduced due to reduced
weight transfer.
- Road course lap times - Reduced due to all of the
above.
- Conclusion: Your vehicle is transformed in virtually
every aspect of performance & handling. It becomes much more enjoyable
to drive, with better steering feel and response, enhanced cornering
speed, more secure braking and impressive high-speed stability, all
retaining a compliant, comfortable ride.
Safety
- Lane-changing performance - Improved due to reduced
roll, better steering response.
- Braking 60-0 mph - Shortened due to reduced
dive.
- High speed stability - combination of progressive
spring rates & a lower center of gravity reduces vehicle bouncing
motion, thus minimizing uneven road surface disturbance.
Comfort
- Improved smoothness even on rough roads.
- Reduces that cushiony/airy feel of stock suspension
by reducing bouncing/pitching.
Mileage
- Average MPG on straight roads - Enhanced due to reduced
aero drag.
- Average MPG on corners - Enhanced as you can now
enter a corner with higher speeds (utilize its momentum more) which
translates to less acceleration required as you exit the corner.
- Better aerodynamics (due to lower center of
gravity) reduces underbody drag which translates to better MPG
substantially, since that at highway speeds, 60% of the energy goes to
push air out of the way.
