Default Function & Form Coilovers how long did it last you???

Planning to buy some function & form coilovers for my dialy driver and only lowering about 2 inches or so. just want to know how long these usually last for people whose own them before they blew out on them. i will not be tracking these coilovers they are for my daily driven car only and maybe lower it more on car meet days but other then that they its only gonna be lowered like 2 inches not slammed.

I don't get it. Why would you consider buying coilovers that you think will blow out on you? Why do you not get something that will last?

I've had mine for about a year now. They've seen track and hard street use. They're still running 100%, although the spring rates are a bit soft for any serious driving. There's still enough flex that I'm scrubbing on heavy turns.

for what it's worth my friend has 4 years on his. Granted, it really doesn't mean much...

Those could be blown now, or could blow a week after you buy them or last 5 more years. who knows. lol

did you use it for circuit racing? cus i plan to get Function Forms type2 for my DC integra and use it for daily, canyon, and some race track action.
i wanted to know how did it hold up on the corners at the race track and how dampening is

F&F is for hard parkers on a shoe string budget... Save your cash and get something worthwhile
