Default Can anyone tell me what the suspension set up is in this ef engine bay shot ???

I have recently redone my engine bay and have it all nice and cleaned up with shiny new parts and would like to stick to the theme and keep it all pretty but of course if it's a **** set up I'll stay away from it. I kinda like the purple it's so sexy. Anyway can anyone point me in the right direction and if the set up in the pic is any good?? Thank you.

Very nice, good call!! Is it a good set-up though???????? I looked them up on website and they don't give a price and that probably means their pricey right???

No they are actually on the lower end of the spectrum. They are your entry level coilovers.

i think they will do the job... if you want red coilover that are the same as those, 'form and functions" and AMR makes them also.

I have used the function form setup on several vehicles in the past and been really happy with them.

why would you buy coilovers based on color? you can get any coilover kit hardware anodized to match if it was that important. the metalcast line of spray paints can also give you the look. you could also just repaint the stock components to match.

First of all re-read the post idiot. Don't just be one of those guys that cruises forums giving out their useless opinions. Yeah I like the purple.......obviously you didn't read past that statement.


...........but of course if it's a **** set up I'll stay away from it.

Get some engine mount bushings inserts instead.

I did read past your statement of liking purple. And then I gave you my useless opinion telling you that you could always repaint or anodize new parts to match your setup. Besides saying you'd stay away from a **** setup, there was no question of performance or recommendations for the suspension setup.

The "sexy" purple ones are D2 coilovers, entry level coilovers similar to K-sports and F2autolife. There's mixed reviews about them. Friend of mine had them and loved 'em, but he was so low that he had zero suspension travel (basically riding on bumpstops) and the car would just slam over bumps, so that's not really a technical evaluation of their performance.

After reading his post, it seems so. It was so easy though when the picture had it circled to answer the question.
