Want to know your opinions on JIC's

DJVe

they were sick, but jic is currently under some changes which includes redoing their entire coil over line.

MrCJ305

I'm actually running JIC's now but wanted to know would you guys rate them compared to other brand coilovers

Ive recently driven my buddy's SC with JIC coils and i found the dampening kind of harsh for a daily commuter
I currently run Megan EZ Streets which although provides less adjustability, it has a much smoother ride.

I wasn't looking for slick handling anyways. I wanted a coilover that was comfortable and made the car look good. I drive my car around like a old fart. I dont think i've taken the car over 80mph?

MrCJ305

Lol I've heard it's better to go with the street/track version of the Megan's with the 32 way adjustable dampeners...but so far I like the JIC's I just need adjustable control arms & new bushings

Correct, the EZ is 15 way adjustable, however i have the same setup on my RX7 with the firmness dialed up to hard. Ive taken that car to Deals Gap @ the Dragon and have let people who have spent close to $2K on track suspensions comment favorably of these.

The JIC's are nice. They have slipped a bit in their quality in the last few years.

Rebuilds can be a nightmare though, and very pricey.

MrCJ305

So what would you guys recommend compared to my JIC's that I'm currently running now?

DJVe

as far as something high end since the jic's seem to be out of production, would be the kw's.

MrCJ305

What are KW's? and what about HKS

i haven't heard too much about the hks's. i do know the people who have the cusco's like them.

MrCJ305

oh those are nice but I'm not trying to drift or anything like that...I want to build a powerful street/track car

DJVe

why don't you like the jic's? which model did you have?

MrCJ305

I have the JIC Magic's the original versions when they were good...but I think I need to go with 18's for rim size because I have 19's currently plus I need adjustable control arms being that I'm lowered so that could be the reason I'm not feeling the full potential of the JIC's because I need a good alignment
