Good idea to buy??? i know who is selling they are type 1's..... i can get them 250$$$, He put them on his coupe 2005 accord in novemebr 2011, and lost his job and are now for sale for 400 and i low balled with 250 and he is willing. they were brand new too start with, anyone have any .02?? im only going to drop 1.5 and this seems almost too good to be true. anything to check or look for?!?!?

After you buy them you can send them in to get them service. Sounds like a great deal to me. You might wanna wait for a few more replies to see what to look for still though.

Since I'm only dropping 1.5 or so , how necessary is a camber kit? Or dampening kit? I have no plans on slamming it since its also my winter car. Anyone happen too know off hand the price to be serviced? Would there be a warranty or anything?  Sorry never thought I would be doing suspension so this is all pretty new too me.  They will e getting out on my 2005 accord 4 door btw

At the least you'll need a rear camber kit for even a mild drop. And don't forget an alignment at a shop that also know how to adjust camber.

If you only want to drop 1.5 inches, don't buy those F&F coilovers.  Even on the highest setting, it will be much lower than that.  That's why I had to get rid of mine.

Why do they advertise that it retains stock ride height?
So basically the higher adjustment wouldn't even be close too normal ride height? I was also planning on staying with normal tires and not low pros
It's such a good buy that even if I get them should I sell on here?? Idk I just don't want to be stuck with them if I can't drop the small amount that I want

Like Ikethegreat said, it's nowhere near normal ride height. If I remember correctly, the highest you can get F&F type 1's is like 2 inches lower than stock. I don't think the tires will really matter since low profile tires on bigger wheels and stock tires should be the same rolling diameter.

I merged your frantic bump like it's a life or death situation posts.

That said, functions are low ass coilovers. If you don't want to go that low, you can flip them if you want. No sense in buying and installing something you don't really want. Thing is, I don't see how much profit you'd get here since we now know how much you got them for. Just sayin.

I'd pass on them if you don't want to go that low.

[CNY240]

Yeah I guess I'll pass on them thanks again guys, I would love to drop 2-2.5 but central new York roads are pot hole city and gotta deal with 2-5 ft of snow so I'm better off not doing it 

[CNY240]

Thanks crackerteg for another good point I'm better Off getting told its a dumb idea then be 1,000 over my head 6 months from now on something I didn't really want

You can delete this thread btw

Nah, it's cool.  It's worth keeping the information out there for anyone else that has the same question.  What's the point of asking a question and then deleting everything after you get the answer.  This is probably going to be very helpful for someone in the future.
