Coilovers

[keepinitclean]

Hey guys I was researching some coilovers and I came across these:

I have seen some people with these coilovers on the site and I was wondering; how's the ride, how low do you think this will go, and is this a good price and a reputable site? Thanks guys! You guys always steer me in the right direction!

Most cats with F&F's swear by them, I'm sure u will be happy with the purchase.

I'm serriously considering getting these now!

That's a decent price, too. The Type2 is better, but the Type1 seems to satisfy most people that have them. Personally, I don't like the idea of adjustable coilovers in the hands of someone that doesn't know how to properly adjust them (which is one reason why I don't have a set myself.)

[keepinitclean]

Whats a good price then? and what are some advantages of type 2s? Ohh and btw i gotta a lotta car junkie friends that could possibly help me out.....Btw whens the next meet near sacramento or roseville? Correct me if im wrong but isnt it at lolicup on the 24th in roseville?

If this turns into a region-specific thread, it will be deleted.

The Type2 has more adjustability, and was developed specifically for the CB7 (thanks to stickydiljoe's efforts with F&F) I don't know for sure if the Type1 is a CB-specific design. Either way, they should both exceed your needs.

ohh sorry, Okay, I will definitely do a little research and comparison on both coilovers

I would also look into Tein Basic, as they're probably the best street-friendly coilovers you can buy. If you're not going to be racing the car (serious autocross or road racing), then you really don't need a set of coilovers that give race performance. You'll have capabilities that you'll never use, and you'll be sacrificing ride comfort (and safety... a stiff suspension can be dangerous on rough public roads) for something you'll never use.

I'm not saying don't get them... I'm just saying to be sure to get what you need. The more "performance oriented" parts aren't necessarily "better" if you're not driving your car in a situation where you need that performance.

In another thread (that I just recently saw mentioned on another forum, as the guy was calling me names...) I mentioned buying parts that exceed your needs similar to trying to build a birdhouse with a sledge hammer. Sure, it's a bigger, "better" hammer... but it's not at all what you need for the job, and it will make it harder in the long run!

So teins are like $803 bucks and i see what your saying....I want to have safety but a comfortable ride, its not like Ill be racing 24/7, I will definitely save up for some of the more safe ones....

[deevergote]

I have to remember who I was talking to... but someone found Teins for something like $650. Maybe even less. Shop around! They used to be the cheapest full coilovers you could get for the CB. (the good thing is, the design has been around for a LONG time, so they're a very good buy.)

Also with F&F's, there is a specific design for 90-93, and 94-97.

Yes it is its a thread some where about it. 90 to 93 accords fnf set go lower than the 90 to 97 set.
