F2 (Function Form) Rear Camber Kit: TESTING

[frankdogg]

Hey whats up everyone, Function Form recently started producing rear camber kits for their suspension line and the guys over @ Showstoppers decided to use me as a guinea pig for their product to see how it is.

First off, the product isn't install yet and I'm just showing you guys "out of the box" pictures with some initial thoughts.

Anyhow the product itself looks nice...it looks crafted well. There is nothing DISTINCT about its appearance aside from the "F2 red" color. But thats about it.

So far the only downside of this product is that its a "rubber" bushing type and I know a lot of you guys are looking for the "POLY" bushing one. However, for daily driving purposes and if you are in an area that see a lot of weather and climate change, poly urethane may not be the best choice for you, especially if you are daily driving.

So if you are looking for "track" stuff...this might not be for you, but for daily driven ep3/dc5/ES...consider this product.

btw, i talked to chuck and he said most likely these will be going for $130ish...give or take once they are fully released.

thanks guys

i know these aren't a lot of pics, but it gives you an idea of what they look like/what you would get.

questions welcomed / haters please hate elsewhere :hay:

[Tnhatch03]

what are the numbers as far as adjustment compared to the SPC? is this going to be for a more aggressive camber?

[4angrybadgers]

I'd like to know how well it fits. I recently replaced my F2 front dampers (long story) and their R&D for the new dampers is horrible (bracket drilled for the wrong size bolts, etc.)... hopefully they did better with the camber kit.

[ep_hatcher_510]

looks like the SPC ones, but they should have included a bracket for the brake lines.

[civictype_r04]

I wonder how the rubber bushings will hold up?

[jw1]

I would think that rubber bushings would hold up fine as that is what OEM uses as well as other rear control arm manufacturers.

[v1c10us]

its a clone of the SPC ones but probably wont rust as much.
Also, you know its called Function over form right?

[frankdogg]

Also, you know its called Function over form right?

huh?

[icarus.na]

those look really good to me and props to you for being the guinea pig!

let us know how they work out.

[v1c10us]

huh?

The brand name
Function/Form
its like in math
Function divided by form or Function over Form, like the phrase, form over function, but backwards.

After time the rubber will start to crack urethane would have been a better choice. It will last longer and be less nosier. Most aftermarket company's are now starting to use urethane in their products.

uh
polyurethane bushings need re-oiling very frequently, 5-10k miles, They don't last very long if you dont and they crack.

[Yo_KyleEP3]

[Yo_KyleEP3]

no news? on this?

[EP_EJAY]

nice cousin. Let me know how it turns out

they have never been called Function and form..
I don't know how you can say a company that is an obvious reversal of the saying "form over function" and who also has the logo stamped Function/form is really called function and form.
I mean, they called themselves function over form for a reason, but you go ahead and ignore that and tell me its function and form.

Goddamn you're retarded. :mrolleyes: Go to their website. http://www.f2autolife.com/

i don't understand the need to be a smarty pants? logically YES it should be Function OVER form, but their website says OTHERWISE and from my knowledge they are trying to produce products that "does" both.

[Siborg]

This is why good grammar/communication skills are important.
I automatically distrust these guys, despite how well-made and awesome their products may be, because they obviously haven't mastered the intricacies of the English language.

Function/Form (as it appears in their logo) seems to be a pretty obvious play on words and mathematics to suggest that their stuff is designed more to perform than to look good. More "go" than "show", if you will.
But then you check out their website and realize the company is called function and form.
This discrepancy is bothersome. Which is it? The clever pun in the logo, or the actual name of the company?

Learn to speak and write well, kids. It really does help. Ghetto slang and faked intellect are no match for an actual education, and with it a full understanding of the English language, both spoken and written.

Oh, and their little mission statement page is riddled with grammatical errors.

now is that grammar OVER communication or is that grammar AND communication? :gheyf:
judging by the following word used to describe your grammar/communication you mean BOTH cause you use ARE.

[metalviper]
