Best videos.. simple and to the point.. took me almost two hours to find this video 😆
How come there’s two red lock collars in the beginning of the video but not during the installation?
Great vid very simple and straightforward. When you make future height adjustments to the spring part do you also need to adjust the shock level again as well?
yes you want to adjust the spring first then match the shock to the spring height
@@functionandform if this isn’t done (I.e. someone just adjusta the spring without the shock) what would happen? The shock does not have any bearing on the ride height does it?
@@Dnasty1 if you dont adjust you could potentially only be using part of the damper stroke. You can also be bottoming out the shock which can cause damage or wear out your shock faster then it is designed to
Hi, do you have to adjust the shock length again if you were to lower the spring more?
Every platform will be different we would recommend contacting us at support@f2autolife.com so that we can give detailed instructions on how to adjust it. Thank you!
Great video! I have a question, I bought my F&F type 2 coils used and are missing the rubber piece that goes at the top when installing in the rear. do you know where I could possibly buy some replacements? thank you for your time.
Great question, you can buy replacement parts at www.f2suspension.com/product-category/parts/ If you have any questions please contact us directly at: support@f2autolife.com
Hey i wanted to know how can I get a replacement strut for type 2 coilovers 2006 acura tl on the website it says out of stock ive been checking for a few months and haven't seen one in stock is there a way i can purchase a replacement strut asap thanks
If i wanted to adjust the rear preload, which one should i adjust or focus more on? The strut or the spring?
the spring
Preload is spring. Strut is the shock travel.
@@functionandform if i want to higher my car a bit what one will i adjust the shock right? And how would I go about it
I need a video on installing F&F sleeves tia
Is it possible to adjust the rear preload without taking off tires and loosing the shock body and twist ?
No…..not on separated rear style coilovers.
how do i adjust rear ride height on type 2 coils? i was told to loosen the bolt on the lower mount on the strut and to spin it upwards, did both sides and was still the same ride height. loosened them the opposite way and still the same. a bit confused as this is my first time working with multi link suspension and don't know whether i adjust my ride height from strictly the strut or if i have to touch the spring part because i've been hearing different things from different people. thanks for any feedback!
so if your rear suspension is divorced rear, meaning the spring and the damper are separate, then you adjust the height with the spring and match that height with the damper, if its not a divorced rear and its one whole unit, then you adjust the height with the lower mount and not the spring. Hope that helps
@@functionandform that was exactly the reply and clarification i was looking for, thanks! now i can finally drop the thing more, big thank you again!
I just bought a set of function forms type 2 and I was amazed with the packaging and the product. Until when it came time for installation. There was no instructions or tip sheet and I couldn’t find anything on their website as well. I was looking for a video and found this clown of a video. I’d expect a better video from function forms. This video is missing all the crucial details and information you need to install your suspension
Sorry about that we do have them for some vehicles but not all of them we are currently building those out, which vehicle did you need them for?
I maxed out the spring perch all the way to the top and want to go lower so do I need to unbolt the shock bolts and adjust it to lower the car?
the best way to adjust height is to adjust from the Shock not from the spring, the spring perch adjust preload hope that helps
That’s not the correct way to adjust height. You adjust your height with the spring perch
So I installed a new tires on my lowered car And I’m rubbing on rear which has a seperate shocks and springs, I want to adjust ride height but Will I be able to adjust the spring perch to adjust the ride height w/o removing it from the car?
you want to adjust ride height with the damper (aka shock) not the spring perch, The spring perch is only to adjust the preload. And yes you should be able to adjust the height without having to remove it.
Function & Form Autolife okay Cool! cause some people said shocks has nothing to do with the ride height so It’s really confuse me.
@@lexmichael2040 yeah that is a common mistake a lot of people make, hope that helps :)
Oppai Sama this has been confusing the crap out of me. Im glad you clarified because rn my spring has like no preload...and is still the same height. I will be adjusting the coils properly now.
So what if i wanted to raise the rear? I adjust the rings on the spring them adjust the shock accordingly?
that is correct
@@functionandform do I loosen the shock from the lower control arm and make it longer to higher the rear
@@slitherman7883 Yes but I would adjust with the spring adjuster height then match the shock length to where you want the spring to be at. The spring height determines the height of your vehicle, so make sure to adjust both when adjusting height.
How would I lower the rear if the spring isn’t letting me ?
you have to spin the spring perch adjuster to adjust the height, if it doesn't allow you anymore adjustment it could be that you are at the lowest possible setting
If I want to lower the rear do I do it from the strut or the spring ?
you will use both to adjust the height
Should the knob click when you turn it
you should be able to feel it click from each setting but you wont necessarily hear a click
does the pre load gonna change if you adjust the ride height?
No, preload will only change if you adjust the Spring Perch Adjuster that is touching the spring
Function & Form Autolife so Boss since my rear has independent suspension when I go up all I need to move is the rear shocks right? I just wanna make sure and wont screw the whole thing.
@@lexmichael2040 yes that is correct I would leave the preload alone that very rarely needs to be adjusted
Function & Form Autolife thanks a lot Boss appreciate you!
Worst coilover, rattle like crazy! Stay clear! Accord, function and forum are very bad quality!
Is the collars always on top then springs? Ive seen other brands have spring on top then collar
It can be on top or bottom some cars its easier to adjust when its at the top and others its easier when its at the bottom
