SanseiGS43 has them. Rides great to me, but he says they're kind of soft for his liking.

Edit: Dave beat me to it.

Do you guys know if it works on the AWD models? I just emailed them but haven't received a response yet.

let's you go lowlow with a comfortable ride. If I didn't go air suspension, I would definitely want a set of these.

Unless the AWD models have different suspension setups, I don't see why it wouldn't work?

I emailed TEIN a while back asking if the CS-T's would fit and they said it wouldn't. I think the front suspension on AWD models are different.

I have had these on my car for a few months now. The ride is awsome. I have had the Tein Flex and CS in the past on my 2nd gen GS, and the S-tech springs on my 3rd gen. The JICs are much better. The adjustability is great and the ride quality is superb.
We also put these on my brother's IS350. He had the sport suspension and hated it. He is much happier with the JICs.

i think the main difference between the flt a2's and the vip ones is because of the camber plates.. correct me if im wrong but i am very curious and interested about these coils.. i wanna see a car with crazy camber action..

on the is350 (regardless if the coilover has camber plates or not), you can NOT adjust the camber.

what is the difference between the vip's and the regular ones?

So I just called up JIC and they said they're not sure if it will fit on the AWD model since they haven't tested it, but they'll look into it and get back to me. I'll keep you guys posted.

The design of the front struts for the AWD is different, it won't work. The RWD front suspension struts do not compensate for FWD shafts.

That sucks. Why do the AWD owners always get left out?

Default camber adjustment

Is anyone making a camber adjustment setup for the 06+ GS? Daizen has them for 2nd gen but not 3rd
