Function & Form Type 2 for s14?

[alindeman1989]

So has anyone run these on a s14? I was wondering what your guys thoughts were on them compared to stance and other brands.

[soreballz]

Duffm4n had them on his S14. Well, he had Function/Forms, not sure if they were type 1 or type 2 though... Whatever. They weren't bad at all. Stiff spring rates, iirc, but not bouncy. I was pleasantly surprised by how smooth they were when I rode in the car. And of course, they went looooow.

[alindeman1989]

sweeettt! do you know if they came with camber plates? All the photos i see doesn't look like it. But maybe they are just using it as a display picture.

[soreballz]

Yeah, they came with camber plates.

Few of my home boys have these on their cars, They swear by them.

He didn't ask for pics. He asked for opinions.

Then again, it's been said that a picture is worth 1000 words, so if your magical camera can actually somehow convey your opinion of the coilovers, then hey, post away!

you say they are alright but are some of the cons on them compared to other coilovers?

[blitzsti22]

you say they are alright but are some of the cons on them compared to other coilovers?

they are really not that bad you can really go low with these coilovers. cant really say about the cons because these are my first coilovers but my friends always say i should of went with a different brand but i got them for 800 brand new so thats why i went with them, also because duffm4n had them

is this guy for real.


anyways.... i like mine overall. i just got the ride height/stiffness dialed in. i can go up driveways without a rear wheel lifting and mildly sloped driveways are now useable.

they handle awesome on mountain roads. at least thats my fav place to go. and they go WAY lower than i have them set. i picked a happy medium. and for the price, i wouldnt replace mine with megans, or godspeeds. Stance's are slightly better imo but not worth replacing my F2's.

[soreballz]

is this guy for real.

Yes. If you think that was bad, you're in for an unpleasant stay here on Zilvia.

ANYWAY. They're good coils for the price, for sure. I was gonna buy a set before I gave up on giving a shit about my S13.

[510-SR20DET]

They are super nice, more like for street but i think they have track version too. They can go REAAAALLLLY LLOOWW but don't act like the way they are being low ( you know when you lower your car, the car bounce like hell). They are pretty comfy on the street.
The price is cheap, too cheap for something that good so the question is, what's the catch? I don't think it would last long

Type 2's are 900+ just like PBM's, Stance and Megan's

[D C]

Cant say for the S14, but I have them on one of my s13s, 8k, 6k IIRC, seem okay, a lot more comfortable then the PBM coils I have in my other car, but the PBMs have stiffer springs, and I havent spent much time with the damper settings.

[@(O_o)@]

I have them on my s14. I can't compare it to others because I haven't ridden in others. I like them, if my opinion matters. I had them for about 2 years now, they've seen 2 events and it gets daily everyday on some poop roads all the time. They still feel as great as the day I have bought them. I have type 2 btw.

^TE72 Corolla wagon.

that was sold a while ago. then he bought some s13, which he sold like a month after. i have no idea what he has now.

that s14 was sold when he was vinyl wrapping it or something.

[714_S13_Coupe]

I just traded my Tein Super Drift for Type2 and i have problem with the camber plates, i tried to set them all the way to negative but the angle of wheels dont even look the same, (right side is very negative, left side is just lil bit negative) does any1 have same problem like me??

[240Shwag]

Yes. If you think that was bad, you're in for an unpleasant stay here on Zilvia.

ANYWAY. They're good coils for the price, for sure. I was gonna buy a set before I gave up on giving a shit about my S13.

This whole forum is like this, in every part. Some guys just like throwing in their snide 2 cents whenever possible.

Grow a pair. It's the internet.

[wonpoo]

Purple S14 is FIRE! and ive ridden in that car. its feels way bettter then my D2 coils on my convertible.

[qwerth]

to the people that have had them for a while how are they holding up?

[chituntang]

They go pretty low...

Got them used (said to be 10k miles). Drove them daily for another year, then stored the car for 3 months. Make a little noise now but still rides great (could be other aftermarket suspension component that is making the noise). But as far as the holding up question, you need somebody with more experience to answer that for you. I can only tell you they are not yet blown after 2 years of DD. You need to diy your own brake line holders.

IMO they look pretty close to Fortune Auto coilovers.

[Salem240]

to the people that have had them for a while how are they holding up?

I put type2's on my s14 about a week ago and after I got the dampening dialed in right they're great. I've heard reviews of these being rough, no, smooth if you have them adjusted properly. No noise here aside from hearing the gas in the rears charge when hitting a good size bump. the brake line bracket on mine fitted the stock line perfect. With 7" springs f&r they go low in the front and way low in the rear. They don't have pillow-ball mounts in the front, it's a bearing plate that sits below the adjustable camber plate that seems to be of quality construction and operates smooth (how long? IDK). Sorry I can't help with the long term reliability but I figured I'd throw in my .02, and for $725 new shipped to my door they are cheap! But still wondering why:confused:

[qwerth]

i think they are getting cheaper due to the fact that not much were using them for the s chassis or maybe a new model is coming out

when the type 2 came out the type 1 price automatically dropped


and for the people that have said that they suck when you go low i don't understand how that could happen unless they lowered it through the preload

[strickly.]

anymore imput?

[vipergtsr1000hp]

picking these up soon. do they go really low??? sorry for asking im just wondering cuz im going to be tucking 18s. and no pillowball up fronts? and i also havent heard if anyone blown them yet which is good.

your front lower control arm may be bent...and you may not have installed them correctly...when you install coilovers, you need to push them in on the spindle with your foot with both bolts in...keep pushing them in toward the car as you tighten the bolts down (its kind of a pain, but if you dont, youlll wind up with improper camber on both sides)...it has to do with the give in the lower mounts...usually one of the bolt holes is oblong to allow for more camber

[@(O_o)@]

The lower mount came slightly slotted like what dorkidori_s13 said.

Mine are still going strong. They saw a couple of more events and still daily them almost everyday.

[onehundredoctane]

I have function and form type II's on my S14, I don't hate them, but after riding in a friends car with D2 coilovers I noticed how smooth D2's are even on the roughest road. F&F II's are a little firm for my taste, but I like luxury smooth and not over reactive response to bumps.

[wbarrett48473]

Sorry to bump an older thread but...

Has anyone had any luck with finding replacement rear lower shock mounts (fork type) so that you can use these coilovers with z32 uprights, or am I going to have to sell these to buy another set?

I tried emailing f2autolife about them and they said they don't sell replacement mounts for the z32.

I figured since most of the coilovers out there are pretty much the same another brands mount would work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[qwerth]

who ever has these please post pics of them!

if you sell them let me know, I am interested, or trade for HKS coils + cash on your end.

[~s14~]

Ive heard alot of good things about these coilovers and they can take a beating. Also alot of ppl say these can go really low but i havent seen one dumped on them yet. Trying to see if someone on these forums has a good pic.......time to search more threads

[BDMs14]

Have had F&f type IIs on my s14 since feb 09 and no issues as of yet.My car is a daily driver and live in nyc with the most retardet potholes in the world! Feel/ride as good as the day I installed them.

[Turbo Nismo]

I know this is an old thread, but I bought F2's yesterday. They suppose to.arrive this week. As soon as I try them I'll post my review.

[qwerth]

they ride pretty stiff but i then i have them on full stif,

and they'll go as low as you need

here's mine with a lot more to go

[godzilla95]

is this with the stock settings set for the lowest? or did you romove some of the collars to make it lower? just wondering because i have and s14 and am thinking of buying some f2 type 2's

[kaidohms]

and for $725 new shipped to my door they are cheap! But still wondering why:confused:

where did you find it for that price? im trying to look for some myself and i cant seem to find any sponsor/vendor for that price =[

[kaidohms]

^guess that 725$ shipped was a special offer they had

[qwerth]

yeah i guess so but id still pick them up for 750 because everywhere else they're still around 900 to 1000

[kaidohms]

^where do you see it for 750? that link shows me 925

[qwerth]

OH shit it does -___- couple days ago it was 750

[Turbo Nismo]

I installed them two days ago on my S14 and I'm loving them so far. They go super low and feel great on streets.

Got a chance to max out the F&F2's on my Kouki today this is how low they'll go with all three of the collars in on the front and the rear could sit on the ground but my rucas are hitting the frame.

Are you saying the rears are maxed out too? Lol couldn't tell.

[Salem240]

Are you saying the rears are maxed out too? Lol couldn't tell.

No, the rears are not maxed out. The rears go so low that you could drop the subframe to the ground. The drop on the rear is maxed out on my Kouki because of the ruca's, they're against the frame.... time for some PBM's

[Dany]

i wana get these for my s13 but a lot ppl say their honda coils ?? but wat im hearing here is the opposite from that other forum.. even if their "honda" coils their good ones though right ? lol

wtf do you mean they are honda coils? you mean they make coils for honda as well, yes, they do, its fucking suspension. its the same god damn principle with different dimensions for mounting and spring and shock rates.

I can buy konis for my honda and my nissan, that shit is wack.

:gives:

I have the f&f type 2 coils on my s13 and while their dampening isnt as good as, well, lets say koni, they were cheap, same damn thing as almost every other company if you dont want to spend fortune or stance or pbm bucks, and they go low.

i have them on full stiff and i think they ride the best at that setting. I am pretty sure i can get them lower without adjusting the preload, but i just havnt done it yet.

also, these are made in china, if that bothers you but you dont want to spend a bunch, buy teins.

Front: removed one collar and flipped bottom bracket, factory preload
Rear: max low on bottom bracket, factory preload

I was scraping the exhaust on this driveway (buddy club spec 2)
So I raised it 1 inch up front and 3/4 inch in the back
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y215/marveluz/temporary.jpg

I've had KTS Betas on this car before and currently run Stance GR+ Pros on my s14.

It was bouncy out of the box(freeway speeds) until I realized I hadn't checked the damper settings at all. Pulled over, set it at 20/32 all around and it's been good since. At least for the 50 or so miles I drove the car for.
