thanks, read all your guys' comments.
For function and form, are they a reputable suspension brand? I looked at their coils, and they look like toys, with their bright orange coils. Not saying anything bad, just wondering. I am still debating between kw 2 used, bc br, and function and form. Like I said before, prob NEVER going to track the car, want a drop to eliminate wheel gap, and like oem ride quality. Also, I don't know how many people actually adjust their dampening, but it seems like it would be much easier with an anjustable rear dampening extender and an option to rebuild if anything fails. Would you guys say NEW func and form 2, NEW BC, and USED KW 2 are on the same level in term of how much i will spend getting them? All around the same price.

Yea I saw those. Can't remember if they were oem or true coils. Im looking to stick with oem coils. Plus, they are discontinued, or hard to find around here? If that is the case, I don't want the hassle of replacing whatever might happen to the coils when its discontinued.

they are oem style, and yes they are discontinued.... im not sure how difficult it is to rebuild (but i wouldnt plan on doing it anyways)....lol... you should call hks to see if they will still rebuild them "just in case" and you can check how much it will be also.....

i have decided guys: I am getting nothing haha
It is just toooo confusing, especially for someone like me who likes to analyze and look at every little detail before picking something out. Every day, more and more coils come to my attention, and I like all of them. From function form, to kw2, stance, bc, and hks rs. If I had to chose, I would go with bc, since that was my original decision. But I looked at reviews and pics of all the coils mentioned, and they all fit my needs. So I am just settling with nothing......sad

Before you give up, my suggestion is to look at Bilstein PSS or PSS10, given your requirements. I own a set of PSS10 (purchased from Adam at Z1) and they are fantastic. I've been very impressed with these coils. The dampening adjustment is very easy and the ride quality is exceptional. Bilstein is a reputable company and revalving can be done for short money, in US. They adjust from the top in the front and in the rear, and at the bottom of the shock in the rear. I can easily reach the adjustment **** in the rear, through the wheel, without taking anything off.
PSS is height adjustable only. PSS10 is height and dampening adjustable.

I looked at the tanabe pro 5 also, but when i asked a vendor, who sells both the tanabe and the ones i bought, he said the ones i bought received the most praise from his customers. Also, it fits my needs. I will post pics when i get them installed, stay tuneddddd lol
