Which coilover is better
I am getting ready to order my coilovers for my Del Sol and I have a problem deciding which one i want to get.The choices are the Function & Form type2 full coilovers or the D2 racing full coilovers. The car is gonna be used for occasional track use and be driven on the street. If anybody has any input it is greatly appreciated.
I've never had any experience with functions... But I have had D2's on my old EH hatch. I highly recommend them. Great suspension. I'm actually fixing to order them for my bimmer.

they are JIC FLT-A2s
Also look into Koni Yellow shocks with Ground Control coilovers. Look up THMotorsports. I dunno about your car, but for mine with custom spring rate its $799 shipped.
May wanna do some searching too, there are a bunch of thread on here alone talking about the same question you asked.
I dunno bout your experience, but I knew someone with those and he said they ride like ass.
thats because they are realy stiff and are only mean for one purpose lol
thats what i figured. I think he got them because of the name.
yeah i considered the koni's and GC but i want a monobody coilover because I'm probably gonna do autox every once in a while. And what from what i have heard the gc/koni is a great setup
Ive known of a couple folks who use the Koni/GC setup for track/street and love it. Plus the reviews on the webz are nothing but good.
they are very good coilovers but more for track only
yeah I have heard nothing but good sruff about them also just kinda want a monobody for more adjustments and all
both are pretty good! f2 will be cheaper i believe

Two things a man should maintain to the highest degree
credibility and reputation
if it was me i would go with Ksport's... i had them on my eg hatch and they ride like a champ and are very good throw the curves....
actually the D2's are a little cheaper
What more adjustments do you need? You just said you're dd the car and rarely actually autox'n it. So why do you need 827428746264286 settings if you're not racing every day? GC+Yellows is WAAAAY more than what you need for a DD car.
(Just admit that you want monobody coilover because you're a ricer and think they are cool LOL)
lol i just said it was gonna get driven on the street I never said it was my daily i have a hondamatic 96 civic ex for my daily driving the del sol is my project car that only gets driven to meets and on the weekends
Just make sure you read reviews before you buy anything so you dont end up wasting money. Also take into account how long the company has been around...AND warranty.
yeah I am definitely gonna read reviews and think about warranties and all. Thats why I posted this thread is to get input and see if anyone on here has ran these coilovers on their cars
I've always ran cheap coilovers(ebay) with good struts, that always road and handled good for me... But that was for the street so idk about track....

I had some D2s on my M3.
They ride rough but handle pretty good.
Honda RC51 SP1
Yoshi RS-3 Cans
520 Conversion
Clip Ons
Race Tech Fork Kit
functionform typeII > d2 all day IMO
otherwise get some koni shocks and some custom rate GC's and your good
those are are some pretty good choices..i know ppl that have both..and have no complaints..
riding low is like a religion
