hey guys ive searched through threads and im getting mixed answers whether or not the function form type 1 full coilovers allow the car to be slammed. if you are slammed on ff1's please post a pic so i can determine if i will be buying a set. i have an ej1 if that matters

 

also ive been looking at pics also, anyone have an opinion on them?

 

i would like to know the same thing as well everyone has been tellin me they will dump your car. post some pics ppl so can see if i will buy em and its going on a ek hatch... thanks

 

im runnnig type 1's

they tuck under arches
but not slammed
very stiff doe dd

 

Those are the older version type 1's, though. Im not sure how much different they are, but every car ive seen on f&f's can go very low.

 

bump

 

Tires were 195/55/15 I had another inch to go.


Tires were 195/50/15 In this pic I had about half an inch? Car got stuck in the driveway due to exhaust slamming the floor =(

 

BTW, does anybody know where the pre-load is suppose to be at? Mines all the way down, but it rides kind of bumpy =(

 

^ that makes me very happy. my coupe is gettin dump'd.

 

Preload has no affect on ride quality, so thats not why it is bumpy.

 

^Seriosuly? I guess I heard wrong.

 

Yes, it only really affects it if you set the preload so much that the spring is forcing the damper upwards, limiting shock travel. im tired so that may not have made sense right now lol.

 

anyone has em on ek? and i wanna see em all the way DOWN!!!

 

how do you like them on your integra please let me. do you recommend

 

they do slam the car my sister has them on her car and she can go way lower

 

Redline, I love them on my Integra. I do recommend them, I had them for about 5 months now and I haven't had any problems with them.

 

All the way down? As in, you've lowered the spring perch until it is sitting against the lower mount? If so, what you've also done is made sure that on every single bump in the road, your shocks are bottoming out and destroying themselves from the inside.

With the suspension at full droop, you should tighten the spring perch so that there is no up/down play in the spring, and you can still spin it with your bare hands. Your "pre-load" is set.

 

^Ahh I think I know what you're talking about. I'll have to try this tomorrow, thanks bro.

 

just got mine in the mail can't wait ti install them

 

they are very bumpy and stiff if u ride them all the way down
since there will be no shock travel

 

but is they dumped y0
