Function & Form Type !? Yeah. They are substandard coilovers that all the broke JDM boys buy instead of quality units.

K-Sport, Blackworks, Skunk2, Godspeed are all the same quality crap.

Damn...seems like these are kind of "luck of the draw" - some say they have had luck with them others got **** on...

However, suspension is not something I would cheap out on. Prob be better off getting some tokicos with some ajustable coilovers

Depending in your budget you could just go AMR and have everything made custom to your specs.
