^ I guess you found your answer

They're awesome coilovers btw

jjashaa 04-03-2009 01:06 AM

:nod:

adjustable ride height with bottom mount. This allows us to retain full shock travel.

so instead of the usual Tein coilovers where you adjust the spring height ie. lower or higher up the shock body.. its the lower portion that you can move up and down so spring stays where it is supposed to stay.....



i think i got that right...

mrchan625 04-03-2009 01:13 AM

yah and their cheaper than tein too :thumbsup:

jjashaa 04-03-2009 01:23 AM

^ oh yea.. forgot that most important part... haha

jwskier187 04-14-2009 06:00 PM

Hmm I sense some sarcasm?...There must be something thats not good about them

jjashaa 04-14-2009 06:30 PM

whats not good about them?

why do you feel.. "iffy"

jjashaa 04-14-2009 06:34 PM

Type I Coil-over
This is the first coil-over that Function and Form developed and distributed. It has since made a return, with improvements to design and functionality. This entry-level coil-over targets the consumer who is looking for height adjustability without the steep asking price. The Type I coil-over is a full bodied coil-over, not a lesser quality sleeve-over that many competitors offer. It is fully threaded and height adjustable to provide a comfortable ride in any import car. The Type I is a quality, durable, and cost-effective product for the consumer that seeks an innovative entry-level product for their automobile.

:shrug:

JCharged 04-14-2009 06:36 PM

love them. Have the type II on the civic. You can do some major slammage.

jwskier187 04-14-2009 06:46 PM

Oh I was just in the thought that you guys were being sarcastic and that something was not good about them. But maybe I'll look into them once I search around more.

jjashaa 04-14-2009 06:47 PM

^ yea.. i posted nothing in red text.. :D

jwskier187 04-14-2009 06:50 PM

haha thats true I guessssss I can trust you then:rolleyes:

f2 and ksports and omni and other smaller companies are pretty good coilovers now days.

if you look them up, they get great reviews across the board.

TlsNavi03 04-14-2009 07:38 PM

looks interesting

klectic 07-05-2009 12:15 PM

Had a few quick questions on the F2s. Decided to bring this old thread back instead of make a new one-

i) approx. what are the spring rates that are on the type 1 and type 2? not wanting anything too stiff, looking at something around 6k/8k

ii) is there really any diff between type 1 vs type 2 other than the dampening adjustment? Is dampening adjustment really necessary for daily driving? I've had coilovers before without dampening and don't mind the ride. I want to keep it somewhat comfertable on a 2.5 - 3" drop.

iii) for those who have it, are they quite durable? Any leaks? etc..

Overall I'm looking at a coilover set up but undecided between Tein vs F2. I like the idea of indipendent adjustment on the F2 and want to go for a low drop. Suggestions?

Thanks!

Megan Racing is what i have...

ull drop it lower with MRs or ksports...

klectic 07-06-2009 12:01 AM

Never looked into Megans. How do you like them? From a quick read on their site, seems pretty good.. comparable to SS?

klectic 07-06-2009 12:10 AM

Also, looking at their site seems the spring rates are pretty high. How do you like them? Saw some pics of your ride and thats around the height I want to be at. What are your wheel specs and do you have room to go lower?

spoTLess 07-06-2009 12:15 AM

Ksports are the most that I've seen in magazines that I read (Import Tuner & Project Car Mag). They not only have ads of them but they've also made DIY's on how to install them on their project cars.

jjashaa 07-06-2009 01:22 AM

^ ksport, Function&Form, Megan, Buddyclub, HKS, Zeals, Omni are all full coilovers that have lower shock body adjustable so you can achieve lower stances compared to Tein SS or Tein Basics which only adjust by the spring perch..

if you want to be really low and run aggressive wheels, i'd look into something stiffer so you don't bottom out

Only 6/8k? Fail. Get Teins.

ii) is there really any diff between type 1 vs type 2 other than the dampening adjustment? Is dampening adjustment really necessary for daily driving? I've had coilovers before without dampening and don't mind the ride. I want to keep it somewhat comfertable on a 2.5 - 3" drop.

As I can see.. you just want something soft. Get Teins.

iii) for those who have it, are they quite durable? Any leaks? etc..

I've had mine for quite some time and it has held up well, but they're too soft for me. So I switched over to some custom made track coilovers. :tomato:

They're w/e compared to my new setup, Thomas. :tomato:

Yeah.. well, they get their parts from Taiwan and have it mass produced. All under dampened and valved for maximum fail. But it's okay, because if you just want something for DD and to slam.. you're alright.

jjashaa 07-06-2009 02:01 AM

^ lies on track coilovers...

pics or ban. :tongue:

CG2PROJECT 07-06-2009 02:14 AM

12/10k, dampened and valved for epic stiffness. Cost like an arm and a leg though. - _-;

:what: freaking finally steve! looking good

klectic 07-06-2009 02:10 PM

Thanks for the input guys! I just have a prefrence to get a lower shock body coilover over one that doesn't. But if the height I'm wanting is reasonable to achieve w/ the Teins then it shouldn't be a problem.

The reason why I say 6/8k is it's what I currently have on my Sol so it's what I'm used to. But guess I'll go into something more stiff. Interested in any other feedback on Megans too. Sucks cause it took me forever to decide which coilovers to get for my Sol and now I'm trying to figure it out for the TL :ugh:

klectic 07-06-2009 09:05 PM

*edit

I mean to write 8k/6k (f/r)

Silva-type-s 07-06-2009 09:11 PM

are they stiff? thats a real good price. i dont want a stiff ride though

bigeshorte45 07-06-2009 09:27 PM

Function/Form type II's, mine are set on softest perch and are a very comfortable ride. and i drive A LOT.

juanclopez2786 07-06-2009 11:24 PM

Onese1f 07-06-2009 11:41 PM

Did you have these custom ordered? I don't see any AMR coilovers for the av6

How come no one really does GC/Koni on our TLs?

Onese1f 07-08-2009 12:05 PM
