Just put em on my hatchback. They ride real nice. About the same stiffness as the middle level of my old AGX KYB's. I like em. :D

595 well spent!

 

damn suspension noobs.LOL jk. the part where you adjust the "spring" and only the spring, up and down, then you are adjusting the preload (preload, meaning factory already set where the spring is suppose to sit). the other way of lowering it is when you adjust the lower part, you know the casing at the bottom that can go up and down. that keeps you from adjusting the spring load. which you can lower it to the max and wont blow the shock at all. cuz that casing is not asociated with the shock. its a seperate piece. its there just to hold the shock and bolt up to your car. so dumping it all the way does not compress the shock in anyway. thats why full coilovers are better than a spring/coilover sleeve and shock combo, at times. the shock always will have the travel no matter how high or low the suspension is. i hope you understand this

 

damn i still havnt put mine on yet cause im waiting to sell my db8.. than putting it on my db7.


dont ask why i didnt keep the db8.

 

my boy has function & forms typeI they drive nice.for the price you pay they are worth every penny.


the teal ef is my boys-typeI dropped all down and my red eg next to it on typeII still got more room to drop.all in all there both good coilovers.its what you wanna spend

 

thats was the honda-tech meet at fremont huh?

 

You can ride slammed for sure w/ function type 1's. At least that's what I know.
I have a set on my dc2, and I haven't had any complaints so far. And I've had them for about 3-4 months?

No. you can't choose the spring rates.
I believe the spring rates for the type 1's are 6k/8k.

They ride good. And like I said, I'm not complaining. It's my DD btw. I say go for it.

 

yeah i receive the coil over already , im just waiting to sell one of my 4door teg than my boy will help me slap it on either one. and i will post picture.

 

damn. still havnt sell my car yet. trya keep this tread alive so i can post pic later..

 

I had FF1s on my EG when it got stolen. Rode amazing. I chose standard rates, was tucking tire, and it rode like a dream. I'll probably get them again for my EK. I loved them.

I have friends that use PICs and D2s, of course theirs are adjustable, but the ride quality was definately up there with them.

 

Ride great :thumbsup:

 

some of the dude say it bouncy.. i wonder if they install it wrong or something.. someone should do a write up on how to install it properly as in adjusting the perches.... still didnt have my on yet..

 

you're NOT supposed to touch the perches at all...i didnt and it still has room to go down these can go VERY low if you want...

 

does anyone have these on a DA ive been looking at them but i want to know how low they would put a DA first

 

f2 gen 1 type 1 im on



i daily it
and its pretty stiff
it was lower but there was hardly any dampening

springs are all rusty now, thinking of getting new coilover springs
had them well over a year now

 

since u twist the whole shock to raise it up and down.. how do u raise or lower it while the coil over is bolt on to the car already without touching the two red perches( the preload) hmm..

 

you have to drop it from the top and adjust the body. Also you can interchange the FF1 from ef onto basically anytype of car. I sold my type ones awhile ago in desperate need for cash and some guy with a DC2 bought them. All you would need to change over to an integra would be EF forks, i took his old suspension but now my car has reverse rake cause i can imagine the front of his car ways a ton.


also i was told by many people who ride the car dumped with full coilovers, they just mess up the preload to ride it low.

 

im thinking of raising my car to about this height, still looks good and probably rides a little smoother...

 

what do you mean dropping it from the top? dont u have to twist the whole shock body? cause u wouldnt be able to do it once it bolt in.. hmmm

how do ya guys lower/raise ya car while the suspension is bolt on to the car already...

 

hey guys i plan on getting these for my 97 civic ex from weksos. my friend has had these on his crappy eg for 4 months and theyre getting a little bouncy. i dont know if its the car or the coilovers. the spring rates are 10k/6k btw. i dont plan on being slammed, i just want to be tucked in and cover all the gaps. id say 2" drop maybe? its gonna be a daily driver, no dragging or anything. please lemme know if i should get these.

 

on some coilovers you can raise/lower the car while the coilovers are still on the car. for the function forms, you would losen the gold lock ring that locks the bottom shaft from spinning. then once loosen you can take the coilover wrench and spin the whole coilover by latching onto the bottom spring pearch and spin it clockwise to lower or counter-clockwise to raise.

if you plan on going daily just stick with type I's there pretty stiff as is compared to the type II's.

 

teggy 617 did you ever get to put these on?..

 

types One and type two lower the same ?

 

i have function type 1 and they awesome.
spring rate is 10k/6k i believe.
