Function & Form Type 1 Input Needed!!!

Been getting a lot overtime at work lately so I decided to get myself some coilovers...lol! It's a daily driver, don't plan on autox-ing and etc, more concerned about the overall ride quality. Any input would be greatly appreciated...pics would help too! haha!

thanks

This will get moved to the suspension section, but I would say go with Tein Street Advance. Great for comfort and overall quality. Seems to be a good amount of people not entirely happy with f&f.

I like my F&F much stiffer than the tein's but I like to roll low. I've had no problems with quality yet.

Don't plan on riding low, maybe no wheel gap at all...lol! How do you like the ride quality? Teeth chattering?

my F&F2 are great. can be slammed or low enough for daily driving. fully adjustable. dampening. rides smooth. all-in-all a good suspension. performs quite well with my camber set up.

Don't have one complaint about my f&f type 1s. They are not as stiff as the ksport coilovers i have on my track car but they're perfect for daily driving.

I can't speak for everyone with this suspension but multiple members here, some I know personally, have had their shocks blow with very low miles on the setup.

I know the price is good but I would keep looking around. Consider H&R, TEIN, and ISC coilovers, all available from multiple vendors such as HeelToe or XLR8.

I didn't have any issues. Plus you can't beat the price.

I'd go with Tein Street Basis if you want a quality setup without the adj damping. Too many cases on this site of people having problems with F&F. I'll probably get these Tein's down the road.
