Wassup every one I just install my ff1 today and overall it feels great except that the front is soft and the rear is stiff...love how the way it looks drop

 

how's the ride? i have tein ss and it rides like stock but doesn't go low enough. i have a newborn that sits in the back so i need some input on type 1s before i buy

 

I wouldn't subject your child to the horror. Keep the Teins

 

IDK man, it's hard to say, the F&F's are a nice ride, but everyone's tolerance level is different.

 

We may be tolerant, but theres no way a newborn is taking a comfortable nap in the back of that car...thats like child abuse! lol

 

If you have a new don't do it...the ride is great I love it I post some photo of the drop but first I need to learn how to upload pics

That the lowest I went and still have more thread left..

 

Looks good

 

I guess I'll wait till he's older haha. Nice drop btw, looks like the same height as mine

 

Any lower I will bottom out..nyc is the worst road condition ever

 

look @ my twin.....

 

no one answered the initial question on this. why is teh rear so stiff from factory? mine is the sae way, fronts are nice, but sometimes the rea doesnt even move it seems.

 

they're not too stiff, they're too soft. Stiffen them 1/4 inch and they wont bounce as much.

 

no theyre not, theyre too stiff, there is almost no shock travel in the back it seems and im not even that low, im at the highest setting.

 

Preload should be at zero straight out of the box.

 

IDK, I can easily rock the rear of my car by hand with my preloads set 1/4 stiffer. If they're too stiff for you why not just soften them up?

 

i just put type 1's on my 03-p, and have the same problem. was browsing through and thought id give my . been fighting with the preload to try to make up for the difference, and its pretty much impossible. the softer the rear the bouncier, and the stiffer and the rear, it feels like its coming off the ground. ive tightened up the front to where its almost dangerous from "bottoming out" and having no spring travel, and its still a huge difference. go for the type 2's or another fully adjustable. we need dampening adjustments for our cars
