Coilover Suggestion
This past week I recently bought a bone Stock 99 Acura Integra. First thing im looking to do is get some new suspension and wheels. The last few cars i have had came with shit suspension and since im starting fresh i want to put some quality stuff on it. Im debating on either Function & Form type 1s or a Ground Control/Koni setup. Just want to hear from you all on your opinions or if you suggest any other type of quality suspension.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: Coilover Suggestion
Personally I wouldn't go with function form coilovers. Yes they let you get really low... But thats about it. They are complete crap for track use since their rebound rate is low. Save up enough money and buy the Toda Fightex coilovers. I can't help you much on the ground control and kony's since I have not experienced with them. And use the search button since this subject has been covered before. If that fails, use Google, hear it does wonders.

Re: Coilover Suggestion
I've had ground control and koni set up on my integra for over 5 years now. No problems what so every. You didn't mention what you plan on using the car for or what you want out of them. These are great for the track and the option to buy the top hats are a must if you want a better ride/greater strut travel. You'll have to decide on the spring rates you want and ground control reps will point you in the right direction for what you should get based on what you are using the car for. I've heard good things about function and form but mainly from friends who just use them to slam their cars.

Re: Coilover Suggestion
well coilovers still have springs. With you ground controls, you can choose which spring rates you want. I know people that use this set up for the track and have multiple sets of springs that they change out based on the track and conditions. Just sounds like you need something simple though and these might be too much for you just to put on a daily.
