I blew out my front shitty shocks and looking at getting a whole new setup. the omni power package on passwordjdm.com is on backorder for 3-4 weeks and JHPUSA.com has this Function Form package deal that comes with blox rear and front camber kit, blox rear lca, and function form 24-way adjustable coilovers. for 899.00. is this a good setup or is it going to be a waste of my money?

bump

 

looks good to me
F2 coilovers rock

 

bump, anyone have experience with these? how do they ride?

 

i got omni's on mine, and my friend has f2's on his, i havent rode in his yet..but i like the stiffness of mine, other than the fact that you feel EVERY bump in the road...i'm talking i can feel a pile of leaves blowing across the street.....and when you hit truck tires in the road at 1130 at night cuz you dont see them cuz the dude int he other lane hit it first and shot into your way..........................you upper a arm punches through your strut tower......dumped hondas suck, i'm going back to stock. lol, later

 

oh yeah, i got mine from ebay, 688 shipped to south carolina, took 3 days, import auto performance on ebay, theyre good!

 

wow it comes with Blox LCA's and a full camber kit, i say order that right now. Im not a big fan of coilovers in general but for a deal like that i would even be willing to try it.

 

688 for just the coilovers or what?

did you get this http://passwordjdm.com/product...D=424 for 688?

 

I was looking into getting this combo you're looking at, and made a post. Heard good things about the function forms, for 900 bucks and the rest of the stuff it comes with, go for it.

 

ok what about skunk2 coilovers and skunk2 camber kit it comes to like 800. no lca's tho? i heard skunk2 doesnt make the greatest suspension or what?

 

going to buy a function suspension from tom@ camp1320 in a little bit after work!

You're probably talking about the Skunk2's that have only preload adjustability, not even a seperate ride height adjustment. Those are lousy for that reason, the function forms give you more adjustability than you need. I say get more for your money and get the function forms, as i haven't heard anything bad about them.

 

alright thanks i ordered em!

 

i just ordered the type II's for my EM1. I'll let you guys know how those ride.

 

Theres another thread about function form on here. I don't want to troll, but I seem to be the only one with a bad experience buying f2 and it was a terrible experience. Post a review when you get them.

 

i remember in the other thread you said you got the amr.

 

they are the same thing, just one has lifetime warranty.

 

Fycus, you did say you had bad customer service w/ AMR, not F2. AMR does sell custom spring rates which most likely you had went over before you purchased them. It does suck when you purchase something expensive for your car and doesnt fit to your needs. You were also warned that the ride would be harsh. So I do find it hard to believe as a complaint and it should just be an honest mistake on your half because the company did their job. I'm not trying to FLAME on you. Everyone makes mistakes when purchasing things for their cars. You were advised of the consequences with that type of setup. Now you have to look at it from the companies side also. As a company with good customer service they did what they can to help you. They tried to offer you different spring rates which might have helped, but you declined. Thats all they can do, you purchased the item and most companies will not take back used items even if its something you didnt want. It sucks you lost money, but those are the chances you take.

F2autolife which is where i had purchased the coilovers, has been nothing but golden when helping me choose my setup. I did order the Type 2's which is a updated version. I did choose to go with F2 because my friend has version 1's and those road pretty well on the street on full stiff and off the shelf spring rates on an EG. I will let you guys know how the setup is.

 

The ride was beyond stiff, I had numerous problems (none of which I want to spread around h-t, but if you want to know shoot me a pm), and they were nothing like similar priced coilovers I have driven on before.
