Just wondering if anyone has used these
JIC Magic FLT-A2 Professional Suspension System
They are a bit pricey @ ~2k. But I'm looking for something different, and was wondering how these perform.

csr – just curious – why are you “looking for something different”? There are a number of suspension combinations that are known to give predictable results (and cheaper, too). There are a lot of informed opinions here on various setups but (not that I’m an expert) I’ve never seen any reports on that brand??

JIC Magic is great suspension. They are on the stiffer side though...but like Garnet is saying, don't be different just for the sake of being different...

However, if you do get a set, please let give us your feedback on 'em...

Well, by me saying I want something different, I mean something a little more competitive in nature than say the teins. I have just taken a ride in a 240sx with the Zeal function B6's (by the way, after that ride I'm currently doing a project 240sx with the SR20DET swap). And I was looking for something similar to that coilover. The JIC's look like they can be easily maintained, and the springs can be easily swapped, which is a big thing for me because I don't like my suspension stuff getting too complicated.
I heard a few of the 240 guys have a tuff time switching the springs on the tein's.

Hmmmm, well I know that Tein offers some STIFF setups (RA, RE, RS, N1, etc.) but there are TONS of other coilover vendors also...here's a list I compiled...

As for servicability, that you'll have to contact the vendors for...

I have the SF-1's JIC suspension system. I seem to be the only one this board with the JIC, There great, ride pretty smooth, not to stiff. The only bad thing is I lost my adjustable wrench.

Wow 1500 ... thats awesome. I was debating between the jic flt-a2 or the zeal b6....now I think the decision is made......I dont see the use of buying a coilover setup unless you can adjust the the length of the shock........(tien flex , jic flt-a2, and various zeal models are the only ones that do I believe) I have h&r springs and l-tuned shocks now and handles like a boat ... I hate it....I hope the coilovers change that.

coilovers will change that . i had stock springs and shocks (the wife still does,she likes the cushy ride) then i had eibach pro springs with bilstein sport shocks, better still, but not right. then i put on daizen sways and all the toms braces, that made the car flatter on curves and got rid of a lot of flexing of the body. it was getting better but not perfect as the rear end was still loose and there was still that awful bouncing after hitting a bump . it was finally right once i put the coilovers on, just took it to a whole new higher level. i'm now only limited in how fast i take curves by the size of my b@lls
