I see what you are saying. Thanks for the correction. A 30 or 35 sidewall is like a rock though. No give. Will even bend your rim if your are not careful. A good amount of the comfort and give in a suspension is the sidewall. Even going from a 40 to a 45 sidewall on my old LS400 18's made a noticeable difference.

Function and Form aren't made in the USA as far as I know. They're made in China/Taiwan same as pretty much everyone else in that price range...
MIGHT have some assembly here, but not enough to be considered "made in the USA".

YO function and form type 2!!!!!! these are the **** i swear. megans dont go low at all, unles you want to mess with preload. just look at the reviews on em..
im from socal so the f&f shop is local to me and me and my friend both have them. the ride is perfect, stiff, and goes dumb low.

i had to raise it near max when i got it for the first time cuz it was so low.
