Default Coilover Q

Hey all quick q after much research i'm thinking to get Coil-overs instea of lowering springs due to it may be a better alternative than lowering springs for the long run etc etc.

I was thinking function form Type 1 but ive heard that the Ksport coilovers come with an upper mount and able to adjust the damper.
I'm only a normal daily driver and am planning to put 18" rims next summer so just doing it for the look mostly.

Difference is Ksport goes for 1027 while FF Type 1 go for 750.
So i wanna know does damper adjustability matter that much, as well as the upper mount?

Second Q is with ff type 1 would i need to get performance shocks because ive heard with coilovers the ride may be bumpy, is the bumpiness to the point of you cant handle it or similar to when you put winter rims on your car?

Hey all i wanted to know what you guys thought about BLACKWORX Coilovers for a 2002 Honda accord coupe.

At the bottom is the description of the coilovers, what do you you guys think of this? Any experience with themm or reviews??
Says here they come with upper mounts as well.



The New BWR SS Coilover feature's a wide range of height adjustments without changing the spring compression and sacrificing the shock stroke. Traditional Coilovers requires the movement of the spring perch to determine the ride height, causing a reduction in suspension travel and induce coil spring binding. The bottom shock fork / connector is threaded to allow height adjustments to each drivers need without having to shorten the suspension travel by maintaining the original spring perch location. With this function, each driver can lower the center of gravity to achieve better handling, without sacrificing ride quality.
BWR SS TYPE SUSPENSION SPECS:
SS provides height adjustments, damping force not adjustable suspension on the SS version (for dampning force check out the GT series.). Alloy forged aluminum correspondent with anodized finish brackets, spring seats and upper mounts (Some BWR suspension's DO NOT! come with upper mounts.)
WARRANTY:
BWR offers a limited 3yr. warranty on all of our coilovers.
SPRING RATES:
Front 12KG (672lbs)
Rear 7KG (392lbs)
COMES WITH 6061 ALUMINUM UPPER MOUNTS!!

F&F's are full coilovers (meaning that the shock is part of the setup)

i had type ones and i loved them so my vote goes towards them

I ended up getting AMR COILOVERS and i am soo glad.
The ride is perfect very comfy considering its a finger gap drop.
and he quality and workmanship is perfect all steel unlike other plastic coils.
