Some coilover questions

I'm hoping to do coilovers on my DC4 here pretty quick, but I've got a few questions first;

All within a pretty similar price range are the following coilovers:

Form & Function Type 1

Godspeed Type SS

Skunk2 Pro S

So it's kind of between those 3. Leaning towards either the FFT1's or the Skunks, but I'm not too sure yet. Recommendation based on experience is appretiated. Also, the name isn't even correct in the title for the FF's, is this stuff all legit?

Is a camber kit mandatory?

On a budget, might I just be better off buying some used $100 springs such as Eibach's or H&R's and then throwing them on quality shocks such as Tokiko's? Would the height be fully adjustable? How long would it take to blow out my shocks with just springs?


Should I consider coilovers from any other sources besides the ones above? If anyone can recommend something not too far out of the price range, I'd gladly look at it. How expencive would it be to put Ground Control springs on some appropriate shocks? Keeping a sub $800 budget in mind.

Edit: What would it be like to put some used H&R springs on some shocks like these ? Or even eBay adjustables?

Really affordable, but would it be a waste? Not concerned with ride comfort, just looking for an affordable drop that won't blow in 2 months.

Ooh, and these. Are they total crap?

I've done a lot of reading but still had a few questions. Sorry that there's so many :p

Thanks in advance.

1.well a freind told me that ff are his top choice in category wise but doesnt like skunk2 and also he hasnt got a chancee with godspeed yet but check the review

2. and camber kit it isn't mantory just go to a shop and get the camber align but it is prefer if you go slam

3. h&r used would still ride good on stock shock my friend has skunk2 to lower spring on stock and it still ride good just dont go slam on oem shock

4. and last question well i havent heard of those yet but best guess do research bro it help out alot.

I was just in the same place as you and looked at all three of those. I ended up seeing an ad by A E motoring for BlackWorks Racing coils and decided to go with those. It's been about a month of driving 100 miles a day of mixed highway and city and I can say they are great. Ride is as good as stock but they handle waaaay better. The only down side I have found is that the front can't be "slammed". For the price I would have to say they were more than I expected.

Dump or Die.
ive rode in my friends car with skunk 2 pro-s and and my fnf type'1s right now.

they skunks are way softer and on like ditches you feel them and rub.
my fnf's are a lot more stiff and they have individual height adjustment so you dont lose shock travel.

i say you look on weksos like where i got mine..

they give you any fnf coils + a free pair of lca's (retail 157.75)
