Function Form II vs BC Racing Coilovers

So I've seen plenty of topics about how great BC coils are, and a decent few about F&F II's but I just wanted to see if anyone has experience with both. The only negative I've heard about F&F's is squeaking noises on some bumps but that was only in one case. But back to the original question, since the price of these two are so close now, $920 vs $865, I just wanted to see if someone could give me some helpful input to help me decide which to go with.

No BS, I was just about to post this exact question!

The BC has the ability to be rebuilt for $100 which is great. Not sure on the F&F.
A positive on the F&F was that they allowed for more of a drop. Seems like the BC is more popular. I couldn't find a lot of reviews on the F&F, but the few were really good.

I'm not looking to dump my car. Looking for good looks, adjustability, and a good compromise of daily driving comfort with performance on a various track day. Interested to get some feedback on the differences and opinions.

Supposedly the F&F just went through some revisions to improve use and quality and they're available with wireless damper adjusters which is pretty cool if you ask me. Not sure if they are for the G35 application though. I think if you went with either one you'd be happy.

i would go with the function and forms, they drop the rear lower than the bc's without having to take off any rings

this is what bc has done for me



to a certain extent it has to do with the body kits but i assume you will run them


i would just say f&f just because later once ur used to driving low and you want to go EVEN lower you can do that without having to take **** off

^thanks, that is what I was leaning towards. Can a few F&F owners chime in and let me know about any problems (like the squeaking) if there are any?
