If you want to retain any level of comfort go with the c-sport's. I have the flex's on my car and on the softest setting its pretty stiff. With it on the hardest setting it feels like the struts are welded solid.

big diff. in both suspension set ups ....

air can drop and raise in seconds

jic coils are extreme low vip suspension... and u have to adjust mani. for ride height and show height... to drop on Jic's u have to do it mani. and drive it around till it settles low. (u take it to car show and go extreme low u will have to have 12 people sit on ur car and wait till it sinks in!) ..

good luck with what u decide
