Look what I got in the mail today!. I might install it next week if I have time. All the instructions and the manuals are in Japanese though







I will report on ride quality with all the detail as soon as they get installed.

Those look very sharp! Did Steve Ganz hook you up with those?

Ok, can someone please move it to "Suspension" section? I'd appreciate that.

I have just got back from a performance shop where I had these babies installed and car lowered even further (almost slammed). When I came out of the shop, I noticed the difference straightaway. The car felt like it was on rails and at the same time the ride has retained it's softness and luxury. This suspension is amazing I would advise it to anyone who wants to get better handeling and get read of most body roll.

More pics to follow since battery died in my camera:






^^^^ yeah I know...I need new breaks and clean the whole thing out

Nice!

Are those the SA or SF's?

SF's
I kinda expected them to be harsh but they are fairly close to stock. I do get a little more roadnoise with them though. Also the car is slammed, I need to lift it a little bit. A little too low for daily driver.

Those I bet are REALLY fun..

Post some new picts with the car slammed....should look damn nice!

What is the max you can lower with those JIC? can you adjust it for a softer or stiffer setting? I am not to fimiliar with the JIC.

I am considering JIC or Tein CS, but I heard Tein CS only lowers it like 1.5 in max, is this ture?

Hey Retro, how much did these cost you?
Nice I like!!!!

$1300 from overboost...made me pay sales tax so alltogether I lost $1500 on those. JIC's can go extrimely low. There is enough adjustment area left to lay my car on the ground. They do not have dampening adjustment which I really do not need. The thing I don't like is that rear coilovers make this compressing sound when I go on a freeway and hit smooth dips. I don't know whether it's normal or if it would rub in, but it does annoy me sometimes. Otherwise they are absolutely great...now I need to work on strut/tie bars.
