Are these the only 2 options?

Personaly, I would go with the coilovers becuase you can adjust the ride height and get it right where you want.

The spring rates are quite high.

They might even be higher then the F&F's.

I would never recommend fail and no form. If you do go with neuspeeds than pair them with Konis

This. I had Konis on Nuespeeds and it was amazing. Fail and Form are for people who dont give 2 ***** about ride quality and want to drive around slammed. Just read reviews on them. I wouold never buy them.

you must not have ever had them..if you did, you wouldve never posted that. stop bashing something based on reviews. the ride quality is super great, especaily on Los Angeles roads. maybe the only complaints i can see is that its firm but has wheel travel, alot prefer high spring rate and the fnf feel firm but not tight.

if someone wants to try FnF type 1s, get them. this is a real reveiw from a real customer, and not an *** clown like the so called members above.

LAWL, I never said I never had them
They came on my SI when I first boght it, and they were the first things to go when I started fixin her up Also for the price of the Fail Forms, you can get the Koni yello/ GC and have a lifetime warranty? Seems like a no brainer to me

Don't be mad, it's a public forum. I found them to be ****, so I'm not going to lie to someone about them. I'm sure you wouldn't either

A good friend of mine had them started his build about the same time as me, same chassis EK. Even he would tell you it was the biggest waste of $$ he spent. After a year he finally dumped the set and went with Koni/GC. I'll sit here and bash them because I've installed them, rode them, drove hot laps with it, removed and replaced them with Koni/GC those fail & no forms are absolute garbage. Those were the type 2's I can only imagine the type 1 are worse.

coilovers would be best bet. so that you can adjust your height whenever. If its for daily driving, and not being too slammed, then also look into the progress cs-II coilovers. they are a very good setup for dd and is under $600.
