Default Function n Form type2 & koni/gc?

Hey everyone I know there's a lot of threads on the Koni/GC setup and I'm thinking about getting a set myself but I was just wondering how they compare to the function&form type2's. The only reason I ask is because right now I can get the FnF2's for a bit cheaper but I haven't done much research on them...more on the Koni/GC setup. Just wanted to get some Honda-Tech knowledge and opinions on this one.
Thanks!

The Koni/gc set up is just as nice if not nice(r) than the FnF2's. F2's have like a 36 way dampering adjustment or something, prob a bit more tedious to get to your ride specifications. The Koni/gc setup would prob be a bit easier, but this is all on your preference. the f2's are more tech savy in my opinon so if they are cheaper in this sense, go for it.

you cant compare taiwan junk to a koni/gc setup, theres several different spring rates to choose from right of the shelf, and you can get any spring rate you want if you just order them, and can order the koni's properly valved for said spring rate right from koni

figure out what your gonna use the car for the most, and then figure out which spring rates fit that purpose the best and order the koni/gc's

agree with most of the smarter posts. go with the koni gc. most the people who bitch about this combo buy the wrong rates or get the standard springs when they actually want to go stiffer. other than that not knowing how to set valving is the distant other problem

GC/Koni Yellows! Hands down the best bang for your buck. Its a proven set up with YEARS of people who use them from DD to track cars. You simply cannot beat GC/Koni Yellows dollar for dollar. It's my favorite suspension I've had on any of my cars. Buy some you won't regret it.
