I just purchased a set of function and form type 1 coilovers and i wanted to if would have any issues installing them on my 06 TL. Hoping to receive any tips if there are other things that i would have to change on the suspension.

 

direct swap! have fun

read up on how to remove rear seats (to save you an hr) when replacing the rears

 

you ordered function & form type 1's or HT-Spec type 1's?

 

I ordered function and form type 1s

 

where did you order from and what car are they designed for (does it say "TL" "TSX" or "ACCORD" on the box)

 

I ordered them off ebay and it was only labeled for 04-08 tl

 

i seeeee. how much did you get them for?

you shouldn't have any problem installing it... theres a DIY around here somewhere

oh here you go

Thanks guys really helpful

 

I would highly recommend a rear camber kit to save your tires. Otherwise you will be getting new ones every 2 months.

 

what camber kit do you recommend for the rear?

 

Hey OP after you install those coilovers please let me know how it feels, rides and handles ok . Im thinking about getting the same F2 type 1.

 

YOOO mucho importante... when u do the rear, disconnect the sway bar links ON BOTH SIDES then continue the remove and install...make the final step re-conecting the sway bar links.

if u completly do one side, ur sway bar will be sitting higher then ur stock side that u havnt done yet. and when u go the disconnect the sway bar on the other side it will suck balls. basicaly.

other then that its super easy.

n i got the ingalls rear chamber. also easy install.

good luck homie

 

what is the difference on these 2?

 

ht = specially tuned dampers from Mr Heeltoe!

 

I think only the HT spec also comes with a built on top hat..otherwise youd have to re-use ur stock one or buy a new one

 

This.

HT-Spec Coilovers are built by F&F to HT's specs, and come with the proper tophat to fit the TL

 

thanks for this, helps me alot
but where can i find more info on this "HT' Specs"

 

I just got mine installed 500 miles ago.....ur going to be happy with the ride and $$$ spent....good product and well worth it
