how can i tell if function and form type 1s are fake?
Ok, so I'm going to buy some function and form type 1s for $525. Some guy i know wants me to buy his 1 year used function and form type 1s for $400. That same guy told me the place I'm going to buy it from isn't an authorized dealer and they might sell me fake crap.. anyways im a lil spooked. so if i go and check em out, how can i see if its fake? what details will give it away? i doubt theyre fake because the shop has been there for quite some time. the shops name is "Nor Cal auto stylez". in fremont, CA. if anybody can tell me how to check fake crap or if they're good please tell me.. thanks!

You're buying it from a guy or a place? Fake as opposed to what? It's not like these are collectors items. And these are almost bottom of the barrel coilovers anyway. There'd be no profit in counterfeiting them.
If there is it would be news to me.

i mean like fake N1GGaz.. i only buy from real N1gGaz.. who keep it real.. ya feel me? hahahha jk. I'm buying it from a place. and what i meant by fake is that if they've been counterfeited and put a fake label.. This is new to me, the guy who was trying to sell me his coilovers said to watch out for fake f&f type 1s. lol i only heard it from him so i think he's just trying to get me to buy his stuff for his profit. thanks for your straight forward response though. ima buy it new.

sounds like he just wants you to buy his ****. Go look at the coilovers and if the label isn't in crayon theyre probably real.

What's the verdict?
Those are fake to begin with. Meaning those aren't real coilovers. They're cheap for the price for the product.

I was doing some online brwosing and found this link to my name. Just thought id confirm for you that the coiolovers are REAl and not replicas. I dont think they would even bother making cheaper coilvers as a replica like "grumblemarc" said. We are a legit shop and not some 'guy" selling parts on craigslist to meet up or some think. If you would like to see them for yourself come by and check them out. We have PLENTy in stock. You can also check our other products on our website. Hope this helps, if you have any other
