Default Function & Form Coilovers....

I've been coming across these lately and I just wanted to know if anyone has any really good reviews on them.... I'm trying to redo my suspension on my daily driven EJ1 but I haven't really heard too much about this company.

I have searched and read all the threads that I could find containing any information on these but they don't seem to help me out much. So does anyone have any good/bad things to say about these??

Also does anyone have a chart of spring rates that I could look at?? Like what spring rate is good for daily driving or the track for both the front and rear??

Any help would be appreciated....

I bought mine from BodyKitsNW. Hes a sponsor here in the fourms. I went into it blindly not knowing what rates to get but knowing what I didn't want it to ride like.

He said he would set me up with what I wanted a 8/5k Set-up. This is a DC mind you, but with them dialed to the stiffest setting, you can tell its aftermarket but it hardly bounces.

I LOVE them. Take corners extremely well and seem to be built well to. The directions are shitty but if your tackeling your suspension I believe you know what you are doing.

I had them through winter and they cranked down a week ago like they were brand new.

I've had them on my Del Sol for a week. I like them. My car is pretty much slammed and I havn't played with the dampening yet, but it rides nice. Cornering is flat with no strut bars or sway bars. The setup i have is 10/6. Good Luck.

I just got the F2s for my EG. I am a little dissappointed with the Manual, (or lack there of.)
I am looking for help on a few points:
1) How do you adjust the ride height? With the shock body, or the spring perch? Can this be done with out removing the coilover? Whats the minimum the damper needs to be threaded into the case?
2) Where do the brake lines get secured on the front dampers?
3) How do the top damper "dials" stay in damper?
4) Where do you measure to find your ride height?
