not a fan, JIC's arent as robust as they should be for the price and JIC USA's customer service is a joke.

+2 on that point. Their customer service is not even laughable at best. 16 way settings,,,hmmm don't the Megans offer more for a lower price?

I wish someone would tell me what Megans they're running, lol. One of these days i'm going to take my car to the body shop to see if the frame is bent, or if the people at the alignment shop are just retards, if its the latter of the two, coilovers are next on my list.

most guys here run LP Streets, though there may be 1-2 that run the cheaper EZ series.

I loved my old JICs SF1s and I've heard good things about the FLT-TAR VIPs from a few people.

I'm pretty sure JICs go significantly lower than Megans without taking out collars,messing with spring preload,etc.
