JIC are nice ride. Fully adjustable shocks for desired comfort. If I am not mistaken TIEN offers a set of coilovers for your car. TIEN coilovers has a advantage over JIC its quiet compared to the JIC.

Even though it's not listed on their sites, they can still get you JIC coilovers if you order through them.

I'm looking for a set of coilovers for a 94 LS400 too! Getting conflicting info from Tein. Asked for p/n and was given same as for 95 and up. Called back again and they said no dice for the 94.

I spoke with Tein earlier today and brought up the issue of the UCF10. I went over the list of new CS Damper applications that will be released towards the end of summer and unfortunately, there are no actual planse for the UCF10's as of yet , but the UCG20 is on the list. Sorry guys. Don't want to keep your hopes up....

Eternity3, Thats weird because the only difference on the stock set-up is the lenght of the struts and maybe the damping, do to the 1st gen is a little heavier.................Well I am planning to get the new ones when Carson gets the in stock and the controller........anybody in Socal with stock spring and strut from a 1st gen off the car can lend me I will do a compare when I switch over .
