Default Function and Form Coilover Owners

What's your feedback on these? I'm interested in getting these but don't know how reliable these are.

Thanks

****** Sweet is all I can say.

Look at my thread titled RE:Spend my money.

He set my up wiht a 8/5 Set-up. I put them on this past weekend. Haven't really be able to throw them around because of the snow, but right now I have them set on the stiffest setting and it rides like a champ.

Fit and finish is great and it comes with everything to install. The only grip is that instructions suck but you shouldn't need them.

Function didn't set you up, WE set you up. Actually we are seperate from them, we are a totally different division. We do all the custom rates, and R&D for the product.

BKNW you seem to know something about this coil overs so lets get some good hard info on them.

do you have a dyno of them?
are the dampers re-valved for different spring rates?
in one add it says "compression and rebound adjustment", from everything i have seen there is only one adjustment area. Are both rebound and compression effected by this single adjustment?

good question Slammed_93_hatch.

Also, I HOPE that these coilover SHOULD BE valved to custom application frm start, not just re-valving. Meaning when the order is placed, the mfg makes the coilover from scratch and valve them initially, and NOT using the previous valved shocks then readjust them to new specs.

It would be nice if you posted the info for everyone to see whenever you can. I'm sure more than one person would be interested in seeing it.
