Type-2 Coilovers for 2002-2007 Subaru WRX / 2004 STI and 2003-2008 Forester by Function & Form
The TYPE 2 coilover is our adjustable dampening system. More aggressive than the TYPE 1, we aimed to make it the ultimate street inspired coilover. Our philosophy was a coilover designed for street durability, comfort, and style but can endure the occasional track days.
A lot of our customers dream of hitting the track but the reality is they want to enjoy their pride and joy on the streets as well. A dedicated track car is not a choice for many but that’s ok. We designed a suspension that can let you enjoy the streets or an occasional fling on the track. You pick. In achieving this, we wanted to make a stronger product to endure the imperfections of the real world. Steel materials have been used for the lower mounts to give the shocks OEM durability. Spring rates are slightly more aggressive than a TYPE 1, to handle occasional track duties and spirited street driving (although we always suggest safe and smart driving on public roads). Yet this did not sacrifice ride quality.
Monotube shocks are used allowing for more piston surface area, and heat dissipation. Our goal is to offer you a suspension that can handle the wear and tear of daily driving duties. With the TYPE 2’s 32 levels of dampening adjustment, you can dial in ride and handling characteristics for the street or the track, giving you ultimate versatility.

Customer Reviews
Getting ready to install them. Very beefy looking. A lot nicer then stock or other aftermarket coilovers
I purchased Form & Function Type 2's for my 2005 Forester XT. MAP had the lowest price around and I received them within a week.
The packaging was great - as proof, they included a box of Girl Scout Cookies in the box, which were undamaged.
Nevertheless, one of the welds that held a brake hose bracket failed during shipping, so I wrote MAP customer service.
Luke was very responsive and I received a replacement part within a few days at no extra charge.
The install was very easy, about 3 hours total. The rear OEM brake hose holders are hexagonal, so they didn't fit into the round brake hose bracket - you'll need to get a brake hose grommet to hold it in place.
Once installed, the road noise is noticeably less than OEM. The ride/responsiveness seems to be better, but I'm in 'limp mode' until I can get a 4 wheel alignment. I installed them at max height initially and will lower them over time as the suspension settles in. I also installed new rear bearings, Whiteline adjustable 24mm rear sway bar with adjustable end links, STI trailing arm and N-Type lateral link bushings, so not able to isolate the direct benefit of the increased performance of the coil-overs by themselves.
