YOu adjust preload of the springs with the yellow circled collars and height with the red circled collar.

I just got them a few days ago actually. I have yet to lower them all the way. They would bottom out on the Wheel wells.

Well, I don't think you need the compressor anymore since the F/F are full coilovers. Just take out your old ones and swap the F/F in. :thumb:

Pics or die! :x Jks!

you do not need a spring compressor at all. Your not taking your old set up apart to put this new one on. You might/will want to add some preload to the F&F set up. to do this just spin the perch that the spring is sitting ON up into the spring. at most 10mm will be good. then just snug up the other perch to the one you moved.

And wow, I just viewed the prices of FF on eBay and it went up. Wth? :x Before it was only around $500, now it's the same price as the Skunk2 Pro-S.

- Tue Nov 11, 2008 9:17 am #78241 So I just found out right now that our local import shop here has the Skunk2 Pro-S on sale for $688, and in stock! Now I think I'll pass on the Function & Form and go with the Skunk2.. :D

Does anyone use that set-up? I mean the Pro-S?
