Hey man. Yeah, I have F2s on my DC4. They ride really nice, although they are quite firm. I haven't tried em on full soft yet, but they're at 1/4 stiff all the way around. They feel nice, but are definitely a stiff coilover. The rates I got were 10kg/mm F and 7kg/mm R. The off the shelf rates are even *stiffer* i think, but I really wouldn't recommend the off the shelf stuff. Talk to andy at bodykitsNW and ask him about his AMR engineering stuff. They're just F2s that he revalves and puts diff spring rates on (at least I hope he does anyway, lol. Gotta get a ride in my friend's car with 8k/5k). In any case, they're very adjustable, and the matching red F2 LCAs I got are great so far. They were more expensive than omnis though. This suspension rides way better than I expected, and I'm very happy with it. Just gotta drop the rear a tiny bit more. The way I adjusted them was to first do ten semi turns of the top spring seat to preload the spring slightly, and then tighten the secondary ring below it. Then you adjust the lower shock body (twist it down) to where you want, and make sure the distance is the same between the two fronts or two rears, or both front and rear (mine are the same all around and i wanna drop the rear another .25" or so just to even it out) and then using a chisel/screwdriver, put the head into the bottom ring and bang it tight (but not too hard; don't wanna scratch that sexy red anodization!) and bang you're done. Now just go out and pick up chicks.
