Exclamation suspension help!

wassup azine I wanted to know from people's points of views what do you guys think is better function and form type 1's or tein basic coils for a 2nd gen?now i have the tein basics, i have them to the lowest setting and i have a shorter spring rate in the front so the car is pretty much slammed. although i see all these people now buying function and form and they are as slammed as i am without having to change any spring rate........ that being said what does everyone think is better cause if i do switch to fuckintion and form i will be selling my teins they got about 6k on them....... thanks azine

shorter springs.. its like.. putting lowering springs on stock shocks..

lessening the life of your tein shocks with those shorter springs.

thats how i see it.

F2 are good but i depends how low you want to go, the lower you go the more you take away from the comfort of the ride. I got about 1.8-2.0" left on mine and its a bit harsh at times but i dont mind. The ONLY problem that i am having is that the upper control arm is hitting the top of the frame when hitting large bumps but im am guessing thats because i am so low

^^ i know i hate that shit man i think that i might have to do some custom work next summer to either fabricate something or cut some of the frame part out so that way its not so bad! But other than that F2's are dope little stiff over stock but for the price you cant beat it...
