Don't do it, your car will bounce down the road.

- Wed Feb 06, 2013 4:57 pm #325709 i heard fucntion and form type 1's are great for the price, but if your hittin up ebay for that then im guessing you might not have a budget for that kinda suspension yet, the FF1s you can pick up for around 650 from what i have seen and pepole usually go this route, or ground controls paired with koni shocks.. take a look at peoples build threads and as around what they prefer...a little searching always brings knowledge, welcome to hondas by the way :thumb:

exactly you just have to experiment and find what setup gives you the comfort/performance you want, keep in mine the more performence oriented the set up is the less comfy it will be :thumb:

- Wed Feb 06, 2013 10:30 pm #325738 i had a set of ebay coilovers on my mb6 vtis, they wernt to harsh, nice and stiff and handled well, anything is a nice upgrade, depends what ur looking to use them for mate. try and measure the hight u want first when u fit 1 then adjust the others to the same hieght before you put them on because you wnt beable to adjust them on the car as they were to tight for me to do.
plus i had to use the top caps and big washer off the standard shocks, dnt forget the washer like i did, the car jus sank str8 to the deck, lol rookie mistake
