common sense.... use it=D

 

I have not messed with the preloads myself but I have an Integra. I can tuck most of my tire at max though. Ek's should be the same. Do you have pictures of your install?

 

oh I'm fairly low I'm tucking. early all my tire I just want to be lowerrrr

 

You can check back a couple threads to see how low people go at max. If you are trying to tuck rim, I don't think it's possible.

 

Dam i want these for my ride. Hopefully pick em up this weekend!

 

They can take longer to completely settle, but the difference in height you are dealing with is mostly likely due to the different corner weights of your car.

 

^ spare tire? thats about it

 

Why would you wana go lower then the max setting. Looks cool but damn you cant drive fast or have anyone in the back seat with out scraping everywhere! just my opinion.

 

Every car is different. I had to raise my rear driver side 5 clicks higher than my passenger side just to make them even. Tire pressure, size, style can also be an issue

 

I have F&F Type 1's on my BB6 Lude and I love them. At first I didn't like them because I thought the springs were too soft but after time I appreciate its daily driving comfort and the drop on my car looks great IMHO. They're good for the price you pay for

 

Another update, those squeaks were because it was leaking. After adjusting them again, I notice some oil/liquid

look what i've found after some research

I am very frustrated with this company, they seem real SLOW on answering emails, also I called them, the receptionist said warranty only go through email. They should atleast inspect the coilovers before sending them out. I would not recommend anyone getting Type 2's.

As for type 1s, there seems to be no problems

 

I have type 1's and the preloads dropped and ***** turnt all the way down. no problems. intrestinggg

 

I think both are great but I honestly can say it all depends on who you buy them from. It is always a hit or miss but you are correct about them checking it before sending them out. I guess I got lucky and had a local shop that sells them for cheap and never had the leaking problem.

 

I got them from one of theyre dealers. The deal was a final sale so I didnt bother contacting them. I expect an email from F2 today, hopefully I can get rolling asap

 

function and form type 1's were good for me at my normal height until i started running more camber. my ucas hit like crazy now ahah i really wished they were a tad stiffer. probably gonna raise the car... but damn have they have lasted me. 2 years of abuse.

 

run less camber like a normal human being.problem solved

 

^lol im planning too soon. i really dont wanna cut a hole in my strut tower, and my buddyclub arms are taking a beating which hurts a bit on the inside haha

 

I got the type 2's

I love them. Just the front doesn't go nearly as low as the back

I have a question though,
How would I bring the thread part up into/towards the spring? If that makes any sense? I took off one of my coilovers to try and fix it cuz at "Max setting" they're at a 2 finger gap. The preload was off a bit so I took off the passenger side to try and fix. Cuz it was sitting at a 1 finger gap and I wanted no finer gap.
I know these go lower, but like I fixed the pre load and when I put them back up it seems they sit higher.
Is there a way to bring the threaded part up?
I was doing it on my drivers side but the dust boot was getting all twisted up cuz it was goin so high up so I brought it back down. Then I started messing with it again but I couldn't get it to go back up again.

*I know you have to twist the shock mount/ te part that connects to the control arm of the car. And you can also twist the locking collar under he spring perch but all it does is twist the threaded part down into the shock part. I wanna do II d of the opposite, bring the threaded part upwards into the spring so the car can go lower.

Thanks,
I know I skipped around a lot it's just kinda hard to explain

 

The simplest way I can put it, is the rsx coilovers concept,
If you seen the video. The threaded part goes in towards the spring. I know they're different designs. But I'm pretty sure these do the same as well. Because I has done it on my drivers side but it wouldn't do it again.

 

 

Yeah something like that. Did you mess with the preload to do that? My rears will go down low enough. but the fronts I have to mess with preload to get them lower than their "max" setting. Because they sit at like a 2 finger gap at their lowest setting, whereas the rears will tuck pretty much rim on their lowest setting.

 

That post about them leaking straight out of the box is kinda bogus when you consider that the FnF's are shipped set to the lowest height and the coilovers in the picture clearly aren't set low...more like max height. Regardless, every product isn't issue proof. There's examples of nearly every coilover system out there that has ended up FUBAR for no good reason. PLus the ghetto *ss ups/fedex/usps people that treat packages like crap comes into play for people every now and then.
As for customer service though, there's no excuse for that crap

 

not sure how much lower you're trying to go without a photo, but this is my ek on a fat tire (205/50/15) almost all the way down and still preloaded.
