Type 1 Coilovers with Upper Mounts

The Function and Form Type 1 Coilovers are engineered for the 1996-2000 Honda Civic (EK) chassis, aiming to significantly improve handling performance and aesthetic appeal while maintaining a comfortable ride. These coilovers are presented as an accessible entry into the world of high-performance suspension, offering a noticeable upgrade over factory components. The Type 1 series features pre-tuned damping settings precisely matched with optimized spring rates, simplifying installation and providing a performance-oriented setup. The design includes full-bodied coilovers constructed from durable steel components, chosen for their resilience in demanding road conditions. Key features include independently adjustable ride height via threaded shock bodies, integrated upper strut mounts, and cold-rolled Japanese steel springs. The linear valving ensures consistent stiffness that scales with piston speed, contributing to predictable handling. Specific details for this kit include default spring rates of 10 kg/mm for the front and 6 kg/mm for the rear, with custom spring rates not being available. While front and rear top mounts are included, a note indicates that select vehicles with MacPherson style suspension may include a pillowball top mount assembly, and camber top plates are available or included for these specific applications. It is important to note that, unless specified otherwise, suspension products are designed for 2WD vehicles only. Additionally, aftermarket coilovers are generally not compatible with OEM electronic damping control systems unless explicitly stated, a consideration for vehicles that may be equipped with such technology.
