Need to be able to adjust LOW! (really low) Stiffer spring rate is better... Need some input. What do you think?

KSport Kontrol pro

D2

Megan Racing

Function and Form type 2

 

I think of the ones you listed you really can go wrong with the KSport, FF Type 2 or D2, I have read that you can ride pretty low with those set ups, of course you are going to have one heck of a ride as far as stiffness goes. I haven't heard of the Megan one so I can't chime in there.

I will be running Apexi WS this summer so I haven't really had any true riding experience with them. There is someone here selling his FF system but it is a type one. He has a Java black CL-S.

 

hey, get the type-1.. don't need type-2.. not much difference...

type-2 gives dampening but its pointless.. type-1 will do just fine.

 

gotcha... FF's go low?

 

YES!!!! really low.. lol

you didn't see phillip's?? (lippstuh's?)

dude, he said he had like. few more inches left to go lower.

 

Oh yea he was sitting nice. thinking adjustable lower perch to optimize travel. Ksport and Megan have them. Anybody ever work with these?

 

z3ro has megan.. told me they ride nicely

he wrote a feedback when he got them... said his car was really really stiff on the stiffest settings.. haha

Ksport?.. i dunno....

 

Cool. Where can i check that feedback report?

 

Bro whats wrong with your current suspension??

 

haha.

he wants stiffer cuz he probably wants to roll on more aggressive wheels and not have the teins bottom out and rub..

 

I just bought some K-Sports along with some other goodies

 

function form appear to have an adjustable lower perch. infact i think all the ones you listed have an adjustable lwoer perch.. guessing your getting rid of teins? gotta get rid of mine too, shits suck

 

Just another option, Koni's with Ground Controls. You can always get custom rates and you can go low too. That's what I have right now and I'm at about zero wheel gap. The Koni's have three perch levels and I have about another inch and half to go on the Ground Controls.

 

Thanks for the hook up!

Yea current suspension is not letting me go low enough and its too soft. not what i expected.

So you think they have an adjustable lower perch? I talked to this dude at weksos today and D2's and F&F are cheap right now.D2's do not have an adjustable perch tho. Decisions......

 

let me PM you...

 

F2's are good they ride nice but I wouldnt say their to stiff if you want stiff go with ksport. But f2's slam, when me and phillip installed my coils we just put it on without adjusting anything and my car sat on the floor it was probably a few inches off the ground and now im probably 3/4 of the way up and im still pretty low

 

Hows the ride and how much do they run? Im still in shock he is still giving up the Teins.....was the ride that bumpy?, since you were sittin low?......

 

teins are... stock like ride...

not my cup of tea..

i'd rather have stiffer so i can run my wheelzzzzz without rubbing so badly

 

ride is good not to stiff not to soft and i got the coils for 550 new

 

and suprisingly the ride isnt really bumpy

 

that dude know what he was talking about? cuz from the pics they do have an adjustable lower perch, its a true coilover.. thats how you lower and raise these coils, not like the tein where your just moving a spring up and down..

 

anyone know what spring rates the f2s are?

 

^ i want to say 12/8

 

K Sports can generally lower a car up to 3.5-4". They use spring rate of 12 F and 7 R but you can change them if you want.

 

K-sports are what i went with to replace my Tein SS.

the Kontrol pro's are pretty damn stiff, i run 18x9 +30 rear, and 18x8.5 +44 front and both wheels are pretty damn flush....the only time my car rubs is when i have the wheel turned and i go over a decent bump...otherwise i dont rub at all.

im not nearly as low as the k-sports will go either....they go pretty damn low.

you will not be disappointed with k-sport kontrol pro's.

 

On the F2's and K-Sports, how low is the drop from factory height at the highest setting?

 

i really wanna slam mine but i dont think i can cuz of my lift the arms that go under the car are like 6" off the ground and i dont think i can clear it any ideas??

 

use scissor jack to raise it up a little bit to put your lift under???

 

what i use is the oem jack. Use that to jack up the car then use your regular jack after to jack up the rest of the car

 

pain in the ass process.. but eh, it gets the job one...

 

Yea i drive on books or somethin to get the car up. yea the teins were tight at first but i jus need somethin different. got my tires today, Falken FK452

So the lower perch should adjust on all true coilovers.. so mrchan the lower perch adjusts on the F2's?

Word... thanks. dont know how i missed that

 

all good man, just ordered a set myself

 

^

upgrade from tein.


imo.. tein is overrated.. lol.. its like the next ebay stuff... its everywhere

 

really it is.

 

Anybody know?

 

I'm pushing my friend to get the FF's. I have the TypeII's on my civic...that shit does go low as hell, I literally can sit the car on the ground.

 

I read that NEX is just an off brand from some overseas company, don't remember the name. They don't even have a website for their products either.

I just drive up on a couple blocks of wood to give the clearance needed for the jack to go under.

The more I read I'm leaning more towards Ksports, if not, Tein basic/ss
