im stuck right now. have 3 different routes i can go. wanting to lower my 99 integra. im stuck between going tein s-techs with koni str's, function form type 1's or progress cs2's. i had ff type 1's on my last 99 coupe and didnt have any complaints. rode perfect for me. i mainly want to get rid of the wheel gap. but also want a decent riding car. ive done a little research and found the s-techs with koni str's are a comfortable ride. on the other hand have also read they are too soft of a spring? but also have read great things about the progress. and liked my ff1s. s-techs seem ideal for the fact i dont really feel like screwing with adjusting the hide and messing up the preload. but i know with the ff1s their is a way to adjust the height without messing with the preload. sorry for the rambling. just trying to narrow down my choice so i can make a purchase and get rid of the 4x4 status. fairly new when it comes to suspension and dont want to screw something up and make a bad choice. thanks in advance for the help guys.

 

I personally would lean towards the CS2's.

The S tech is a good spring, and the koni a great shock, but the spring is very soft. In the past people have complained about the springs being too soft, and nothing like what they expected.

Being able to lower the car without messing with the preload is the end all be of suspension. I guess it can be cool?
Koni/GC is just a "slip on'' but is still arguably one of the best suspension set up's you can buy for the money.

Have you considered Koni/GC? Or is it out of your budget?

 

on a budget right now. trying to buy a house in august and just had a baby back in November. 600 is about the most i wanna spend right now. which puts me where i am , right now between the s-tech w/ koni, cs2, and ff1. no opinions on the ff1's?

 

FF1's aren't horrible, but they aren't great. My experience/opinion on them is pretty limited.

I've never owned them, but a few of my friend's have. I drive 1 car all the time, and they are decent. Ride is fine. Unfortunately I can't really comment on much more, I haven't really pushed the car. I don't hate them, but I don't love them.

For strictly a DD, or just slamming the crap out of your car, they are fine. BUT, you can do much better then them. That is where the CS2 comes in.
