hey bro, Im not asking for YOUR advice, Im helping the guy out...

Hmmm do these F&F coilovers perform well??

[NAiL05]

From what I have seen and read for the price they perform pretty well.

How many times do I have to say it? SPRING RATES!!!!

You can dump the shit out of your car with a 3 or 4 inch drop, and if your SPRING RATES aren't very stiff, then even a lowly GR-2 can handle it without blowing. Now, you'll probably bottom out, so that is where you need to compromise with a stiffer setup.

The problem is that anything that goes that low is going to have a high spring rate by default because companies aren't retarded. So, to go with your increased spring rate you need an increased shock force. Higher spring and shock forces are harder on the shock, so it must have good durability. Koni and Bilstein are the only shocks for the CB7 that are strong enough to handle the increased rates AND not blow!
You can ride around on AGX's slammed and turn them up all the way and it might feel as good as a Koni, but it will not last as long. Then you have to buy new shocks, and guess what? One set of Yellows is way cheaper than two sets of AGX's.

91kid, you aren't "blowing" 6-700 on shocks. Several people have said a set of yellows can be had for a little over 500. Also, they are the last shock you'll ever have to buy unless you change your setup completely(full coilovers). You're buying performance, durability, and peace of mind. You say there has to be a shock that handles a 3 inch drop safely and has good ride quality...well there is. Its the KONI YELLOW. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

if hes gonna spend $500 on something else why not spend the extra $100 for the really good stuff.just my 0.2.

[91kid]

OK well i see where you guys are coming from and i know im cheap but i like to have good stuff haha... so i guess ill have to save up and get the yellows.... now what about koni reds... i heard theyre similiar but have less adjustbility?

What good stuff are you talking about?

The reds should have the same adjustability, but you have to take them off the car in order to do it, while the yellows have a knob. If you aren't going to be using a shock dyno to match them, I recommend the yellows.

[92smokeaccord]

What good stuff are you talking about?

the konis.

If you want the SP3's then you have to get them from neuspeed's site. They're 125 a piece for a further improved version of the koni yellow. Its not that bad.

x2, neuspeed.com, thats all you need.
