Yes they make them specifically for our cars. EP3 ones do fit I believe but you'll need new tie rod ends I'm pretty sure. Contact the vendors on here they should be able to provide them for you. Good luck

Re: function form (f2) coilovers

just because its made in taiwan doesnt mean you wont get a quality product. the only reason its made there is because its cheaper to make them there, and therefore more profit for the company. which is what all companies exist for in the first place.

back on topic, lots of my buddies have F2 and love them! not bad for the price. one actually said he was more impressed with these over his tien SS. dont ask me why lol.

No, they still suck. I'm sure your buddy's haven't had them more than 18 months. Even when they're not blown, they're not all that impressive IMO.

To each their own, by all means. But really, no.

They're the minority, I assure you. To each their own though, like I stated.
