Neither,

Buddy club N+



Function and form are fairly new shocks with not a whole lot of back-up in their market. I've heard mixed reviews.

And when I meet someone at an autocross meet who uses skunk2 shocks I'll let you know.

i think both setups will be good. The only problem is there hasn't been any reviews on either setup.

i've talked to people who has the Function Form type I's and nothing but satisfaction. I would def go with the type II"s...then again the GC/koni setup is around that price range.

As for the skunk2 pro-c's, they look bad *** and i'm sure for the money they will perform pretty nice.

I also agree with ek forever...the buddy club n specs are a nice setup too.

final decision haha.....GC w/custom spring rates paired with KONI shocks

yea, do some research. from my exstensive research on this topic. I would get GC coilovers with koni shocks. But its all on decision time. THere are always deals going around. if i find good deals on exspensive or moderate coilovers, it just all depends.

by the way, im running on skunk2 coilover/tokico 5-ways. Not bad, VERY VERY STIFF, thats where all the negative comments are towards. But if you want racing type coilovers, get those cheap. Lots of amateur/pro racers use this setup. works great. Lots/loud of noises over bumps, not comfy for the girls. But i happend to think its a great coilover, but i wont go back. sitting on for 4yrs.

i'm running integra skunk2 coils on kyb agx's, the ride is pretty stiff and def not for comfort. I've had this setup for 2 weeks and i'm getting the hang of the roughness. Performance is great though

I have 2 good friends runnin function form, 1 street/drag race car and the other street car.

Both are very satisfied with them. I even sold my own f2 setups to one of them for their new drag setup which I should be getting on monday!

Mind you, this suspension is very stiff and with the right sway bay and other goodies you will be amazed what it can do to your handling, no doubt.

awwhh, just stick with it, since you already have it on. You'll have to pay for an alignment all overagain.

Yeah I totally agree, and understand what its said, sacrafice comfort for performance. I rode my buddys tein superstreet, its tein SS. rides nice and comfy!, but during hard turns it kinda soft. thats probably the only part I like about my coilover, its STIFF as heck, gotta make sure all other suspension parts are tight and up to par , but wont be gettin coilovers till next year, Or when my new tires get worned out and needed replacing.

~$750-800 for the koni setup

GC's go for ~$300, so ~$300 for the illuminas.

Though honestly, for the extra $150 you can get koni's.

Illuminas are a great shock though.
