I've riden in cars with both types and they rode pretty equal.

But yes, Function & Form would be my choice.



Sorry, I'd stay away from their coilovers.
I know I'm going to be hated for that, but its the truth.
why is it that your would stay away from their coilovers? had a bad experience or know someone who has had a bad experience? facts to back up your outlook on these?

Why would I pay $900+ (group buy special price) for a local company that has no real reputation when I could pay almost 1/2 that and have function and forms when they have positive reputation all over the Honda scene.

I can't find what I really want to show you though.

I can't show you a thread that says "my fortune coilovers fell apart", I'm not saying that happens at all.

The fact that you buy a coilover (in bulk) from China and stamp your name on it, doesn't raise the price. When they first came out into production, a 240 person posted a link of some no name coilovers purchased from China only in bulk for about $300 a pop (or the whole bulk, I don't know)

It was funny, you put a Fortune coilover beside this china no name one and ironically they were identical.

I wish I could find the link where someone called them out on it. Whether this is or isn't true... I would never even think of buying them.

ive had f&f type 2s on a couple off my cars and loved them and although alot of people knock them i had a set of k sports and thought they performed very well for the price i got them for.either way a europein made damper such as bilstien or ohlins would be the way to go if you could find a set in your price range

functions are freakin awesome

they have been on my car for a yearish and just wow. ride quality is there. decently stiff. work well in conjunction with an itr or heavier bar front and rear. price is not matched and they go pretty low. especially without removing any preload from the spring and jeopardizing the shocks. simply shortening the body overall length. for f&f
oh, and they come with a year or two warranty
