i have some bad news for you guys about F2's new coilovers. it seems Function&Form is releasing an "improve" set of their type I and type II coilovers. please note i am just sharing my discovery, and that my words should be taken with a grain of salt.
you can read the full blog here. i only quoted a portion of the article i would like to point out.

The New Type I & Type II Speaks.........
if you look at the new type II's specs, you will notice several things that should be catching your attention.
-32 levels of dampening
-audible clicks
-steel construction
these are not coincidental because Megan Racing and Apexi N1 type ExV have these same features on their coilovers. the current type II's were made with 6061 T6 aluminum and had 18 levels of dampening (they also had the audible clicks). if you look at the pictures above, the new type II are also painted. the current ones are zinc electroplated with a shiny, red, metallic finish.
unfortunately, these clues are really pointing towards the idea that Function&Form are shifting their coilovers production to overseas. the company that makes and supplies coilovers to the earlier two mentioned is a Taiwanese company, Bor-Chuann.

i will have to say that if there is any truth to this matter, it would probably be wise to those who are looking to buy Function&Form's coilovers should do so now.
