Hey guys,

Long story short, I bought a 1997 Integra parts car and it came with Function Form Type 2 coilovers. I could either sell them or try and make them work for my EF.

I know about the differences in mating them to my EF suspension (different forks, different bushing diameter for rear LCA).

What I'm trying to figure out is if they are physically taller than the EF ones. If they're the same height, I'll make them work. If they're taller and won't go as low, then I'll sell them.

Anyways, if anyone could provide me with some height measurements that would be great.










TL;DR

I need someone to measure how long/tall the Function Form Type 2 coilovers are when they are not installed, but lowered as much as possible.

 

I don't have FF coilovers but I am almost certain the DC integra FF shocks would be longer than the EF specific shocks. This is because when you are buying these coilovers you have to specify what model you have. If they were the same length it would be "universal" fitment. However, you could make these integra FF coilovers work with extended tophats to negate the effect of longer shocks and still achieve a lowered ride height.

 

My whole thought is:

They mass produce the shock bodies with coils and then just replace the bottom half (that screws onto the shock body) to cut down on production costs.

If I'm right, I can make it work.

 

Well, let us know. Maybe you have to specify what vehicle it is for because the different vehicles have harder or softer valving.
