Yeah, I've got F2's. I'm quite happy with them, as of right now. The Type 2's should be out already, and they seem to have a better damper design, although I'm perfectly content with the Type 1's.

Pictures? I suppose I could ***** some out for you. I ride, as of right now, with the stock spring rates (I have some custom spring rates in a box in my room, waiting for the spring to put them on), at the lowest front setting and about halfway down the sleeve in the rear.

After Install:



After it had time to settle:

1. Depends on what you would call bouncy. I don't think it's bad at all, even with the terrible roads here.

2. Well, if you've ever driven a go-kart, you could relate to the handling abilities. I just let my bud here drive it for a bit, and he still can't believe how well it handles the turns (he's driven it a couple times before).

3. Pricing: $950 shipped with custom rate springs as well (the standard 8kgmm/8kgmm's are on right now, and my custom 13kgmm/15kgmm's are in a box in my room, waiting for Spring). You might want to look up Pworld here on Honda-Tech for pricing. He's who hooked me up.

1. Like I said, standard is 8kgmm/8kgmm.

2. They come with all the hardware needed to install on either an 01-03 or an 04-05 (they come with included sleeves for the newer models to fit the 16mm holes).

3. Well, in order to not bottom out on every bump I drive over, when I slam it in the Spring, I'll need a stiffer spring setup. Plus, having stiffer rear springs actually prevents burning out on the line, as well as, keeps both front wheels on the ground in cornering. Ideally you want more traction on the front wheels, in a FWD.

I think they're $750 shipped through Pworld, without the custom rate springs.

I know I've whored them out a ton, and I apologize. I was just trying to make it simple for the OP.

I'm glad you like the photo. Just wait until I can take some decent shots (in some decent weather) with the new camera, and some different rims.

I'll be going through what I'm doing to mine, and sharing just how low they can go, but I've got a few things I need to do to the car first, before any of that happens.

After install is as low as they'll go, without removing the guide springs in the front. The rears had more to go.

I'm using a T1R camber kit, but it doesn't matter what one you use in the rear. It comes with a camber plate on the pillowmounts for the front, so that covers your front wheel camber.
