So I installed ff type 1 on my tl and what a difference from oem. Waaay stiffer than I thought. I'm considering trading out the type 1 for type 2, but my question is:

Do ff type 2 ride softer and not as harsh. I kinda miss that luxury of the tl with the soft suspension. But I love the looks of being dropped. I want that softness back and wonder if the ff type 2 is what I need to make that happen?

 

ff type 2 you can control the stiffness and the softness theres damper setting on the top

 

this is the same exact thing I was sayin to JJSSSHHA.

FF2 rides great, but FF1 no dampening sucks, cause u will have that bumpy ride which is annoying since our cars were born to ride smooth.

 

you guys can't be serious that type-1s are stiff..

 

^^x2

they'e soft, obviously the ride will get harsher the lower you go

But at a reasonable height they are pretty soft

 

^+3

 

Do You have ff type 2? How's the quality?

Compared to stock setup and the fact that ive never had a dropped car before they are extremely stiff to me. and it doesnt help that im riding on 215/35/19 tires

So are you saying the more 4x4 like i drive my car the softer they ride?

 

well.. obviously compared to stock, it'll be stiffer.. lol

 

Obviously the springs are stiffer....

But yes the ride will be softer at 4x4 than slammed

 

^ eh?!?

the spring rates/preload don't change the lower you go since you're adjusting the height by shock body. not spring height.

last time i drove with 1.5 finger gap and tucking. they drove the same.

 

^not for me haha

with a gap it drove smooth, then when tucking my ass would start to hurt

 

This. Lmao!

My front has a 1 finger gap and the back has 1/2 a finger gap if that makes sense lol.

 

Went out driving for about an hour and a half today. And I think I'm getting used to it, and def starting to like it more and more now. Maybe my problem is that the coilovers aren't fully broken in yet?

 

do you have any ideas on how long it takes to break in? i always assumed the only thing that would settle after time was the height.

i just installed my coils today, and didn't find it stiff at all..

 

bro you know we only would buy FFs Type 1 to be slammed!

NO WHEEL GAP CREW!
