Opinions on eBay coils

I'm really looking into some Function Form type 1 or 2 coilovers on eBay, does anyone else have these and recommend them (or something else)?
Should I buy anything else along with them?

From what I've read I havent heard many complaints about this brand, but dont wanna spend lots of money on these if theres a better bang for my buck.

I'm really just trying to go nice and low and replace my Tein springs I'm on now.

A buddy of mine has the F&F type 1's and his ride is pretty damn low even at the highest setting. At the lowest setting, he is tucking all four wheels. If you don't mind totally losing your stock ride height then these are a great setup for the price, if not I would recommend Ground Control's with some sort of tokico/Koni shock.

Thats all I really want is to be a little lower. The F&F Type 1's come with top hats too from what I've read.

Woud those you linked me to fit a 5th gen? A quick google search leads me to various tuner shops and eBay that say they'll fit 92-01 or 92-96, but none seem to be specifically for 97-01.

TEIN SS SUPER STREET DAMPER COILOVER 92-01 HONDA PRELUDE BB1 BB2 BB6 | eBay

KSPORT KONTROL PRO COILOVERS HONDA PRELUDE 97-01 | eBay

GROUND CONTROL COILOVER + TOKICO HP SHOCKS/STRUTS SET 92-01 PRELUDE | eBay

92-01 Honda Prelude BB SS-HD13 Blackworks Racing SS Coilover w/uppermount BWR | eBay


Mind you the last one... I never heard of and would only go with that if you don't track often. Most of these are pretty entry level stuff and would definitely stiffen your ride but won't be as stiff as some of the higher-end coilovers
