F&F type 1 coilovers VS. Blackworks Racing

I just bought my TSX and figured coilovers would be the first thing I should buy. Im looking for a quality ride and heith adjustabilty. For the price of around $600 Im pretty much down to two choices. The Fucntion and Form type 1 or the blackworks SS. Its an auto and my daily driver so I wont be doing doing much street racing but dont want it to fell like a lowered truck where I fell every bump either. Does anyone have an opinion on these 2 companys and which of the 2 is better or any suggestions on another brand that might be better for the money.

Im not sure about the FF1 but I currently have the FF2 on my Ek Hatch now. Height and Dampening adjustable lets you set it to way you want it to ride. I love my set up and I sit pretty low.
For $600 as ek_b16 mentioned you cant go wrong. Id take the FF.

ok. I just ordered them. What do you suggest as far as camber kits front and rear. I see that they make adjustable ball joints and arms for the rear. Do I need all that or am I ok with just coilovers?

I'd recommend the INGALLS rear camber kits and if you're going to slam it in the front the SKUNK2 camber kit. Links are below. You need a qty of 2 of the INGALLS kits.

I had function and form Type 1 and I regret buying them. You won't be able to bring your car back to stock height and they make loud thump noise over little bumps and especially on cold days they are even louder. I had them on for about half a year and sold them. Now I have Megan racing ez streets $100 more then functions but if you want to ride like stock that's the way to go.
