What's the minimum ride height? The adjustment from the bottom intrigues me. I might have to get rid of my Teins.

never tried minimum but i'm pretty sure you can get like 2 finger gap if raised all the way.

how does this coilover compare to tokico blues plus HR Sports springs? F2 coilover is $630 and shock/spring setup will cost around $500. Which one should I pick if I want the most comfortable ride? Ive read coilovers are better coz they are adjustable but I dont think i will be adjusting once my car is dropped. Comfort/smoothness of the ride is my main priority... currently I have OEM type s rims and right now the gap in front is 5 fingers and rear can fit four fingers. I DEFINITELY NEED A DROP. Also, does buying any of these two give me a better ride than OEM??? Please advise... TIA

If you want good ride quality, go with the H&R and Tokico.

if you're looking to drop it loww.. get the coilovers...


if you're looking to just get a mild drop or just an enough of a drop.. get H&R sports(50103) with TokicoHP/Koni/Biltein.

the Function & Form Type-1 only allow height adjustment, no dampening.
They're not stiff to give you a jarring ride but they are stiff enough for you to know. lol..

With the amount of gaps i mentioned, HR should give me a lower drop than an eibach pro-kit right? (thats what ive been getting from most threads) is this correct? The ride is my priority so if Tokico shocks are more comfortable than F2s, then I shall get spring/shock combo...

what do you guys think about H&R RACING springs? how come everyone is just getting the SPORTS one? Should the RACING be the one compared to an Eibach pro kit is they have similar lowering amount... I have OEM TL-S wheels and will most likely not change them... does my 17s look better more than 2 inches drop all around or a mild drop (1.5) around is best? I notice those that are saying that H&R are better have upgraded their wheels to something bigger...

I'm comparing my H&R SS to my friend an AZ member ( NBP00TL ) Who is on Eibach Pro-kit. When we compare them I only have 1 finger gap in front an half finger gap in the back riding on 19". He has 1.5 gap in front an 1 finger gap in back an also riding on 19". I know it hard to compare just .5-1.5 finger gap, but we both agree that mt H&R look lower then his Eibach.

it may look that way.. but the fact is.. eiback pro kit is lower then H&R all day long..

there may be a difference in struts age/brand etc. in your case..

but this isnt like were comparing two springs with the same drop demensions... eibach is a lower spring right out of the box.. cant argue that
