Type 1 Coilovers

The Function and Form Type 1 Coilovers are engineered for the 1996-2000 Honda Civic (EK) to provide a significant upgrade in handling performance and aesthetic appeal, while maintaining a comfortable ride quality. Positioned as an entry point into high-performance coilovers, the Type 1 offers a noticeable improvement over factory suspension. These coilovers feature a full-bodied design with pre-tuned damping and carefully selected spring rates (10 kg/mm front, 6 kg/mm rear) for optimal street performance and occasional track use. The construction utilizes durable steel components, ensuring longevity under real-world road conditions. A linear valving design contributes to predictable stiffness that increases with piston speed, and a bump stop spring aid influences steady-state balance. Installation is simplified with quick-install pre-load readiness and included upper strut mounts. The threaded shock body allows for ride height adjustments independent of spring pre-load. Additionally, camber top plates are available or included for select vehicles with MacPherson suspension, and some applications will include a pillowball top mount assembly for enhanced adjustability and feedback. Fitment is specifically for the 1996-2000 Honda Civic models (chassis code EK). As with most aftermarket suspension products, these coilovers are designed for 2WD vehicles only and are not compatible with OEM electronic damping control systems unless explicitly stated.
