Kool,
I take it from those pics that the coilovers have some type of built in camber adjustment (probably at the top of the strut towers?

It looks pretty nice. I am very interested in getting those also, but I would like to know if the ride quality is close to stock with better control. I would love to hear some feedbacks from you. Thanks

The FLTA2's are not known for their comfort at least in the Z/G offerings. They're more for the serious tracker who will trade comfort for more stiffness and control.

its not stiff at all.. its pretty close to stock. I left it on the stiffest setting since yetserday and its a little bumpy but it handles GREAT. But when its on the softest.. its a smooth ride. people dont' know i was riding on colovers

Nice. I would like to request a future ride in it.

My friend has JIC's on his 2G Eclipse, and boy.....it rattles my teeth off. But it carves turns like a potato peeler.

LOL, Yeaaaa, we gotta have a meet! But not until my car gets here!

Does the JIC have shock body adjustment? Or just the spring perches?
