Anyone have experience with the FF type 2 Coilovers?

Hello fellow 86ers,

As the title states, I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the function & form type 2 coilovers for OUR CAR? I have had several friends (Honda guys) say that they loved the type 2s. Found a set used, and am considering buying them, but am having a hard time finding any reviews on them. Anything helps guys.

Thanks

"32 levels of dampening adjustment" on inexpensive coilovers is usually a sign that the marketing department has had a major say in the design of the product.

if you have to have this many bumps, chances are nobody has used them. even if they were decent, if youre not in a position to figure it out yourself, best to avoid something that isnt for you either way.

Fixed for you. Whether it is quality or not depends entirely on the specs on which they were built initially. BC has made crappy coilovers for so long that they are actually decent now.... if you pay for higher QC at the factory.
