im lookin to spend about 700 bucks on sum full coilovers.. wuts the best bang for the buck... im leaning towards function form rite now

 

What do you want out of them?
Comfort?
Stiffness?

 

PIC Apex...$750

 

Why do you want/need a full coilover setup?

How well do you expect a full coilover setup to hold up that costs less than a Koni Sport + Ground Control setup (around $800 from H-T sponsors)? I have not heard good things about KSport, D2, or FF setups.

Also "sum", "wuts", "rite"... when I read things like that I immediately think 7-year old kid or some wannabe gangsta kid trying to act hard but in reality looking stupid. Whether or not that's you is not the point, it's just that's what alot of people think when they see grammar like that. Just something to think about.

Well here's one,they are pretty good for daily driving,or at least the batch that I got.had had them of since March and I honestly don't have one bad thing to say about them,but that's just one man's experience and opinion with them.

the older version of the k's were bad, shocks leaking and such...so far for the past 3-4 months i've heard nothing but good stuff about them.

 

I'll consider them good when somebody has them on the car for 3-5 years or more and puts 100K+ miles on a set and can still report proper operation.

i've heard good stuff about the FF type II's, but for the money you can get a better setup.

 

i got a dude selling the FF type II setup for 650... that is hella good

whats good for comfort? Is it better to just use a good strut and a lowering spring instead of a coilover setup?

In general, yes, because lowering springs typically are progressive and have fairly low initial rates.

Most coilovers use linear springs with fairly high rates.

This is not true in all cases obviously.

 

any have any experience or input on what would be a good spring/strut setup?
I want something good for daily driving but also be low enough to look good

 

H&R or Eibach Sport series, good drop, not to low for daily driving if your roads are bad. I had both in my tegs, about 1.75" drop in front about 1.5 in the rear" but it may have drops a little more after some time.
