Default Function and form coilovers

So i am on the verge of doing some suspension work to my s and am wondering why nobody talks about function and form coilovers. They seem to be fully adjustable and have decent settings and are at least 200-300 cheaper than the bilstein pss9 which the specs suggest dont drop the car enough to close the "gap" and seem a little soft. Im not looking for anything to go tear up a racetrack with. Just something with a little sportiness in them for canyon runs etc. Anybody with some feedback please let me know what you think about these things before i pull the trigger and end up regretting my decision later. Thanks.

dont go there. that stuff is left for the civics and integras. go for Megans or Buddyclub N+ if you want to get a "cheaper" end coilover. I dont think ANYONE has them for the s2000 yet

honestly, i looked at megan and they were the cheap stuff and stayed away from when i used to have a civic..it kind of backwards when i joined this s2k forum. Function & Form Type 2 has the new dampers and I wouldnt mind trying them out on my S, but i came across the new 3rd gen. MDU,(same price as F&F) Rides like STANCE coils.

Alot of people are going with F&F's on the acura side. They're relatively low in price and ride pretty good. They are 10x better than the meagans any day. I wouldn't advice using them on the track and expecting them to perform like mugens, but they are a pretty decent coil.

I think sillyboybmxer has me a little wrong. I dont really mind paying a higher price for a decent set but i am starting to think that these are a little overlooked. Like i said weekend canyon carving is gonna be about the extent of what im gonna be doing with these and as long as they are "marginally" better than the stock ride (meaning i didnt pay a thousand bucks for a drop) then im in.
