Default tried many suspension setups HELP

So I'm in the market for a new suspension setup, mainly a full coilover setup. I have had many different types of setups in the past, just to name a few.



I'm mainly looking for a setup that has a good warranty but doesn't have early issues. I'm gonna be riding dumped or at least close to it. Wheel Gap is a no no for me. a lot of negative chamber because possibly gonna be running low offset with stretched tires.

Setups I've been thinkin about....

Koni Shocks (Nuespeed Edition) w/ Ground Control Sleeves
Function & Form F2 Full Coilovers

any inputs?????

man... after reading through that "Slammed guys HALP!" thread that got locked I don't even want an opinion or help. I guess I'm one of those uneducated kids that think slammed is hella tyte.

man I'm probably gonna get flammed for sayin this...... but why are the majority of coilovers produced for track/road race even able adjust so far down that they make the car well, slammed??

that being said please if you have anything negative or that isn't going to help me then keep it to yourself I don't want to start another war between you suspension guru's.

if you can get the F&F 2's, get them. Koni and GC's are really good if you can afford them.

I ordered my FF 2's about a month ago.. on backorder most places.. Trying to find a place to get mine from.

Honestly, why not? So long as there are people willing to pay for that look, there will be other people more than willing to make money off of it, performance and ride quality be damned.

On the other hand, its up to the user to know how lowering their car that far will affect performance and ride comfort. If not, it is their own fault.

It really doesn't matter what you go with if you're just going to slam the car. The outcome will be the same as what you experienced in that chart.

I personally think it looks like ***. I'm not trying to be negative. I'm just saying... I don't understand how people can think that looks good on any kind of street car.

This topic would probably do better in the appearance forum.
