Any thoughts or opinions on function and form coilovers type 1?

Hey mate, I was interested in Type 1's as well for a bit. Good price on eBay (all up just under $800 posted). Ultimately what stopped me from getting them was the spring rate (10 front, 6 rear) which is somewhat harsh on the street depending on who you are, and the lack of dampening adjustment, meaning you were stuck with one stiffness setting only. Type 2's have dampening adjustment, but they're about $200 more. That, and who knows what kind of headaches you'd be experiencing dealing with customer service and warranty issues that are stationed overseas.

JDM Yard is currently selling GAB SS coilovers for $880 shipped on here for EG/EK/DC which is stupidly cheap. I've ridden in them with 10/6 and on soft dampening (can't remember exact lol) Feels good. Bumpy but bearable, but then again I haven't ridden a whole lot in them -> http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...-880-*JDMyard*

BTW, I am OP who started this thread. So for those who want to know what I ended up with, I ended up settling for a used custom spring/shock combo for mega cheap. Feels awesome. It still rides like factory, but you feel the road more. I'm yet to take it for more drives to get a better impression but for now I'm liking it a lot. There's about a 3 finger gap between the guard and the tyre.

Great to know this thread has been useful to people!

I agry, I've got the koni/gc combo and its great, lots of height and damper adjustment and you can choose your spring rates. rides well on the street imo.

G'day mateys. Just a question.
Do you think a KONIs shocks + King Springs combination would be alright for my ride ?

Yes it'll be much better than now. Rather get a different set of springs like Eibach Type R prokits etc

i'm running a koni + kings setup on the teg. im quite happy with it.. as I've said previously tho spring rate isnt exactly what I'd like but for the price I'm happy.

So im looking at KONIs shocks + King Springs combination.
Question is, whats another option other than King springs?
