Default cx-racing damper vs f&f type 1

These are my 2 choices this semester and I can find reviews but there for the cx's on is300s and 240s. People say there great but thats not an accord. I've heard the f&f are great too but stiff. I'm wondering if anyone from the site has either cuz the cx racings are 32 way adjustable which sounds great to me.

if u want a full coilover and on a budget i would get type 1 f/f i run them personally and swear by them. i infact was one of the first to run them on my cb. long before the group buy on cb specific ones. still holding up all these years. even seen some track time. never let me down.

You have (IMO) two very cheap Taiwanese clones that are both going to yield the same results. D2Racing is a similar one, Fortune Auto, F&F, whoever these CXR guys are and a bunch of others. I'm actually surprised they're giving you spring rates even.

You are going to be far better off sticking to known brands. And you really don't need a full coilover until you want it. A good shock (Koni Yellows for example) paired with a good spring (Eibach, Tein, H&R, etc) will probably perform better than these random coilovers.

Thanks for the input muffin. I've taken that into consideration but with how often I change wheels I kinda need to be able to lift and lower the car. I've had this car for six months and have had 15,16,17 inch rims already.....yes I'm a wheel *****

If you want to control the stiff-ness and what not, get F&F Type 2. I'm aiming for those next for my Accord and I'm sure I'll be happy with it. People say it's not necessary to have them if you're not going to track use, but I still do it for my own enjoyment.

I think the FF Type 1's will be a great option. I see a lot of people running them with no real complaints.
