I know the first pic isn't a Honda. But this is The F2 thread, I have had the 1st gen type-2 coilovers on my Scion for almost 2 1/2 years now and I LOVE them!



I recently purchased the 2nd gen Type-1s for the CRX project I have going currently, I still have some adjusting of the coilovers to figure out, but this is the fronts and rears maxed out as low as they can go. I may buy some drop spindles? we'll have to see

what vehicle are these going on? Some cars go lower than others, but for the most part FnF offers a pretty low drop. Also consider giving the springs time to settle before thinking you've reached the maximum drop.

thats the lowest setting on the fnf2, it hits the bottom piece when i spin it all the way down.

\\

rides bouncy also, preload wasnt touched, it measured at 8'' on the rear and like 7 3/4 on the fronts.

and what dampening setting do you have them set to? Also they look pretty new, the springs give a bit of a harsh ride before they finally settle. I was worried myself that i wouldn't have a smooth ride with my type 1's until a few weeks later of daily driving and now its like butter

i had it max to the right >> meaning all the way stiff and i take it back, its stiff as **** lol.

I moved now all the way to the left to see how it feels and its nice and smooth now.

when i hit bumps with tthe setting all the way to stiff, it would go bang bang but doesnt bounce at all.

its setting in now and it feels like its going lower.


All stock preload still, now i can bearly make it up my smallass drive way sides lol. it feels like its hitting something inside my fenders in the front, maybe its the upper control arm ? if i turn all the way my tires would catch on the fenders and cause it to move lol.
