Icon2 Function and Form ?

Which model of the function and form coils are better in dampening and adjustability? Type I or Type 2's?

Type I's are only height adjustable, but just like the type II's they have adjustable shock bodies. Type II's are "36 way" damping adjustable from a **** on top and have adjustable shock bodies. Type I's have horrible damping for the spring rates from what I have been told by a knowledgable member on here, so if you must get them go with the type II's.

There supposedly for track use, so maybe they will have decent valving. And prob pretty stiff springs.

Just from seeing customer reviews, and driving experience.

Type-1 are extremely suitable for daily driving and spritied driving on the weekend, etc. You can adjust the height, and it is not that hard to so do (with the right tools)

Type-2 seem to offer great flexibility in custom spring rates, and valving. Height adjustability is great with up to 2.75" drop on most applications. I would suggest Type-2 to any serious enthusiast. Especially $100's lower than other name brands, with the same exact features, or better in some cases.

F2 has made a name for themselves, and I think they may be a force to be reckoned with in the future. Keep your eyes open!
