I personally do not have any experience with these coils, although i have heard from a few credible sources that for being 8/6 coils, they ride very nice on the street. They look very similar in construction and design to the MEGAN RACING coilovers.
I have 4 sets coming and 1 used set for sale, please keep watch for my thread in the advertiser sections. Thanks everyone!

Anything compared to Mehgen as a positive sale point should throw up a red flag. But if they're dirt cheap...like real cheap why not for a starter set.

I never thought about it that way. So what do you ride on? Maybe its the fact that all the expensive JDM stuff hit Cali first then gets filtered down to us here in the East. Good point though. However, I still Megan is a quality brand that many still use on their cars. I also know that quite a few people use other brands as well like D2 and K-Sport among others.

LUIS!!!! NO on the K-SPORT's! If you're going to go that route stay with Meghan...at least their customer service it good. Had a customer return his wing because it was scratched and scuffed and they returned it no questions asked. Can't say that for some of the 'TOP' jdm companies I have to deal with...run around is all I get at the warrenty department.
Pay now for quality products so you don't have to upgrade later even if you have to save more. Products that take checkered flags are always safe bets.

Where's the separate compression/rebound adjustment? That's the only thing that made me look at these...
The problem(s) with cheap coils, as I've said time and time again, is that there's really not much range of adjustment in the damping, and the compression and rebound curves only match for a small portion of the adjustment. This means that even though they're 100000way adjustable, theres a very small amount of that range that actually provides good damping. Most of the time, performance-wise, you're better off with a good spring/adjustable shock combo versus low-priced coilovers (even though the spring/shock combo doesn't provide height adjustment).
If these actually have separate compression and rebound adjustment, they'd be half way there to being good performance components. Until I see that, I'd have to recommend that people actually interested in handling (not just slamming their car and having a kidney-pounding ride) stick with GC/koni yellows or a similar setup.
I ride on 10/8 Tanabe Sustec Pro Sevens btw, before anyone asks.

Thanks for this information. I didn't see where these stated they were separate rebound / compression for S-chassis cars?
As far as i know these are extremely similar in design to the D2's, megans, etc/\.

^^+1, they have acutally been around for quite a long time, but mostly popular with the Honda crowd.. and that's not necessarily a bad thing (Just because most people think of Honda owners as being dumbasses doesn't mean that most of them actually are or that the companies who cater to them are any less attractive quality-wise than companies who cater to Nissan enthusiasts) ...
Anyway, I personally know Preston, the owner of F2, and he's a very good guy. They have pretty good customer service, and being in Alhambra, they can deal with most of you guys (local) on a one-to-one basis (of course that is if to say Brandon can't help you out first :P You should always go threw the person you bought them from before the manufacturer).
But anywho.. they're very similar to Megans, and the ride is not too harsh for being 8kg/6kg. I believe you also have the option of having different spring rates or Swift springs installed (of course for an extra amount).

Most definately would agree with you in most cases, however, the sheer success of the amount of coilovers that Megan has sold. Not considering the amount of satisfied customers who have repeatedly stated that they are the best bang for the buck. I can safely assume the success rate of the Megans would be just as high as the "other" name brand coilovers. I see it as a numbers game in the amount of coilovers sold compared to the satisfaction that many people have stated that the megans are great. Now compared to set of Tein, Tanabe, JIC, Stance, HKS, and Apexi the stigma behind the brand name may not be there due to a reputation that would precede the ones named above. As a consumer I believe that purchasing the right set of products for my car would require research and proper selection. Now in the case of Megan it was a no brainer because they are affordable, better than expected quality, great customer service, and the fact that they are a rebuildable right here in the USA with out long of a downtime. My car does get to step on the track every couple months due to time and location of tracks. So maybe I don't beat on them as hard as some of you guys would. In consideration of also daily driving and the occasional track event I can safely say that they have performed better than anticipated. I will not hesitate to purchase another set of Megans for my other cars if I choose to do so.

The thing you are not taking into account is that your average "budget" coilover purchaser is typically switching from blown shocks and stock or lowering springs. When you go from something that is that terrible, even a set of AGX's would feel fabulous. With that in consideration that is definately not the person that I would like to get objective feedback from (as their basis to draw from is relative and limited).
Sales volume in and of itself proves nothing, other than that there are that many uninformed people in the world.

Agree 100% with the above statement.
Number of units sold doesn't mean anything. Number of races won, number of FTDs, etc... now that's how you gauge success.
Considering how many people wouldn't know quality if it had them bent over a sink, I think it's safe to say that Megan's number of units sold means nothing.

True but how many people buy regular day to day products that are affordable compared to the somewhat exotic or higherend products. So I do belieive that sales volume has some sort of significant weight when it comes to product success. Consider that Megan sells more coilovers than anybody else. Now compared to the prices of of $1100+ for other brands the $850 Megans seem like a good deal. Enjuku has no problem using it on their drift cars neither does Milano Motorsports I am sure there are more competitors using Megan in semi or pro level competition.

Call Enjuku and ask them if they LIKE what they use on their drift cars. I've heard otherwise on quite a few occassions. That's part of the fun of playing with sponsors and running a business.
Aside from that...drifting is one of the worst test beds for a suspension setup, unless you are referring to breaking things. You could drift on welded tubes for suspension, but that doesn't mean that's the best way to go.

Then why bother buying suspension. It seems to me that you prefer one brand over another and I cannot persuade you into any other way.

That's where you are mistaken.
I like anything that is actually functional and maintains proper damping for the chassis and given spring rate. The issue with that, is there are very limited companies that actually pull it off. Koni, Penske, Ohlins, Moton and Bilstein are the long and short end of the list.
I have yet to see a JDM/Taiwanese/Korean manufacturer pull off anything close.

I run the TYPE 1s on my Daily S14 and ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM. I have them on full stiff...cause well, thats how I like it. It isnt insane unless I get on concrete bridges on the interstate. I would reccomend these to anyone...the TYPE 2 is even nicer...
I have much love for Preston and The company
F2autolife is a good company with leader who has his head on his shoulders...
I cant say enough about these coilovers...dollar for dollar they are better than TIEN STREETS, TIEN BASICS, MEGANS, My old CUSCO ZERO 1s, MY OMNI TECHS(on my EH2), and my OMNI TECHS on my CD5, and in terms of PUSHING A CAR I have driven S14s with Tien HEs as well, and ridden several occasions on TIEN FLEX with EDFC and that would be one of the only rides I would lable superior under a FULL STIFF setting or any push of the button combination the driver was using while we drove. I ride full stiff so I cant speak for the PLUSHNESS of the comfort ride but I can speak for a quality product for a good price
ANYONE MAKING A DIRECT RELATION TO KSPORTS AND THESE COILOVERS...the VALVING IS FAR SUPERIOR...from the people who have ridden in my car and ridden on Ksports in an S chasis...they say the ride is far superior:bigok:
These coilovers also have a SWIFT SPRING OPTION with Custom Rates

So the people who've ridden in your car, which is on full stiff, have ridden in other cars with Ksports on a similar setting and the same frequency from the tires' sidewalls as yours in order to give you a well-thought-out response from their professional posteriors?
If cheap coilovers are better than other cheap coilovers, doesn't that just make them the best of the cheap coilovers? That's like winning a roadkill cook-off.

12-01-2007, 05:12 PM
I don't think this is any different from the slew of affordable coilovers out there, they'll probably make people who want coilovers at a really affordable price happy. I currently have the KTS/SPL, and my friend has the Stance, I'd put them both in the decent quality/price/support category too. We can talk about and read dampers characteristics all day on forums, but after experiencing Koni-shod cars on track extracting so much lateral grip out of street tires and soaking up small surface variations soo much better, we both have hopped on the Koni/Bilstein bandwagon. I personally don't think I'll settle for anything less than a Koni, Bilstein, or similar damper again for a performance car.

Yes, a different S chasis but similar tire and sidewalls...I would have to say so...both 17x8 17x9 setups with 225/45 and 215/45 tires his were BFGs and Mine are hankooks...I will have to call BFG and tell them that I will buy their tires when I get my JICs or my TIEN flexs for my STREET driven S14 since thats how everyone is reacting in ths INTEREST THREAD.
THEY ARE A GREAT STREETABLE COILOVER, I BELIEVE thats EVEN HOW FUNCTION AND FORM describes them...and YES, THEY ARE! For the Price they are GREAT and the customer service is LEAPS and bounds of the service I had had with larger companies in the same type of business.
I dont drift my car...I have fun in my car, it looks nice and it will see a track day and Drift day a few times once I get my bushings replaced and my LSD in there...for the time being I am really ENJOYING my car, I love the way it handles, I like the way it rides, the product was well packaged, the shipping was quick, and the customer support that I HAD DIRECTLY WITH THE OWNER OF THE COMPANY was FLAWLESS.
FOr someone like preston who sells as many coilovers as he does...YOU WILL NOT GET SERVICE LIKE THAT:bigok:
When I have time and money to build a TRACK specific car I will probably see what I like most on the TRACK and will weigh my options then...I like JICs (cant say I really like Tiens), and I have liked a few of the HKS setups I have ridden in, and really enjoyed a few of the older Sustec Systems and the more Recent...all mixed and matched from car to car...but for a STREET COILOVER I got a smokin price on these and they were BRAND NEW...that being said...Every SINGLE question I had was answered BY PRESTON HIMSELF. These might not be DRIFT GOD shit of the shit corn of corn coilovers...but for the price they are the top of the heap and they get that stamp because I know Preston and I know his HONDA customers and he is a great businessman and I was more than satisfied with the service and the product.
I am done jabbering now:hsdance:
End all Be all=Buy what you want, if you dont have 2k to throw at your Street Driven Daily on JICS or TIENS, OR HKS...get a set of F2AUTOLIFES, you will not be upset:hsdance:

Never really had any real dealing with the shocks, but i did call in and order some camber plates and it was very frustrating.
I call in and ask if they are willing to sell the camber plates for a certain car to me, just the plates. The guy responds with, we don't sell camber plates. I was said aaa yes you do, he was quite and then said ooo ya, what car do you need them for. I told him, he then told me that said car didn't have camber plates (it wasn't a strut car) i said yes it does. He then pulled the phone away and shouted "do we have camber plates for XXXXXX and can we sell just them". He got the answer of yes and yes.
So i ordered a set, not with much confidence though. 3 weeks go by (he had told me 3 to 4 weeks) and i get them. I look at them and they will do the job. So because this is an endurance race car we needed a spare set. So i called back up and go the same guy. I thought that it would be painless since i talked to him just 3 weeks prior. Well i was mistaken, we went through the same thing as the first call. Said they didn't make the plates, then that they couldn't sell just them. I reminded him that i just ordered a set 3 weeks, and he had to ask some one else. He again shouted back and another set was ordered.
Both sets worked. But the quality wasn't that great and the difference between the two, they were different batches (i had to wait the 3 weeks for them to be made and shipped out) was pretty large.
We modified the sets because we didn't like the design but they were cheap enough that the main plate (the part we needed) would work.
I can't say i would feel to comfortable purchasing shocks from them.
A friend that works on a lot of street cars says that he has installed a few sets and people seem to really enjoy them, for a street car. He doesn't like them, nor would recommenced them for heavy track use though.
As far as the Meagan stuff, they started out 4 or 5 years ago selling cheap useless POS parts for hondas. All of there parts are made by some other company so maybe they have upped the quality, but i wouldn't put them on any car of mine.
