Not many run them... they aren't very good quality but you get what you pay for!

D2, Ksport, F&F are all made by the same company and are similar poor quality... there really isn't much R&D put in them!

Also just cause you pay a pretty paid for a part doesn't mean nothing! For an example look at how much the F&F are about 1000$ something and you can get the Progressive coilover kit for 900$... and we all know that Progressive is far superior quality then F&F!!!

sorry for side tracking, but I pretty much got my koni/gc combo for about $825shipped, of course no tophats..., but I think that's pretty good deal.

i thought F&F were good, but supposebly my friend with the F&F type1s says they suck unless you want to use it just for looks.

I've had Buddy Clubs and Megan's, they are definitely good for the price. Can't wait to get my Koni/GC's on though. Can't believe I've had them for a couple months now and still have not put them on. Along with a crap load other parts chillin'!!

just got them this weekend to replace my blown tiens. picked up the type two. most people bag on the type one cuz yes they do suck, but i drove my buddy's dc5 slammed on type 2's and it handles like a champ even for the height its at.
plus you cant go wrong with 32 lvls of dampening ;P

Well I learned a few things in this thread.

do you know his spring rates? Also, 32 levels of damping may sound nice at first, but you are adjusting rebound and compression at the same time. and thats a lot of choices that aren't exactly necessary. if the dampers were made for those springs they shouldn't need that much adjustment. not to mention I doubt they actually give a real number for it.

I got Progress my self. one of the few off the shelf coilovers with good spring rates.

I'm selling them tho. PM me.
