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

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

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.

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.

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!

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

qwerth

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.

DomChan

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

Salem240

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

RedSiBaron

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.



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.

dorkidori_s13

looks like a 205/60/R15 to me
